"Will Togashi ever end the series?", you say?
only time can tell, Togashi knows how to make a Cliffhanger chapter after all..
He's damn good at it...

And I really wanted for Leorio to get his own big arc.


I always felt like he was always going to be a solid supporting character that never really encroached on any spotlight

The Manga is dead. 2 years without a single chapter is way too much already.

I honestly just moved on. Truth to be told I really don't even remember what last happened in this arc.

I'm just glad this arc gave us the Hisoka vs Chrollo fight and the direction the manga was going in after this fight was very interesting but oh well.

I don't understand why Shueisha does not move it to another magazine like D.Gray-Man or World Trigger, and free up some space for new series (if it doesn't already do so). Don't get me wrong, I like HxH but I feel like the readers are not appreciated as much as they should. It's not like we must be revered, but at the very least to be shown some interest. It's not like HxH became loved because it was a good series from the head-go, it was the readers that loved it, and these readers are treated like granted lovers who must cope with their companion's whims and self-issues.

So I am at a chapter 362 now. The arc is decent and HxH looks as good as ever. But it annoys me that there is even a thing as hiatus. I love Battle Angel Alita, and what I get as a fan is 36 chapters in 6 years... I love xxxHolic, and I haven't read REI till this year, because I was too curious to wait any longer. And also 56 chapters and years of hiatus. And current hiatus is in the middle of the arc.
So returning to HxH, it has not problem in itself. The main issue is an allowance of hiatuses in manga. If you cannot continue with making 15 to 20 pages at least each 3 months, just drop it. Do not draw manga if your production level is that low

Totally agreeing with the last sentence. People love to play the advocate and say "the author / mangaka does not owe anyone anything bla bla". No, they do owe. They have to at least give 1 chapter a few months. If even that slow pace is literallly impossible, then do not start an arc with so much potential. I am so furious about this.

I agree, this arc has potential and also will be very long. Togashi shoudnt start this arc if he is still on hiatus. Someone else should draw manga.

They do not have to be. A standard human mind can simply deduce this just by looking at his past patterns. Are not there editors, whose job is literally this? The man has been more famous with the hiatuses than the work. Instead of having it unfinished it would have been much better to conclude with election arc.

No, it won´t happen. Togashi should have called it a day after finishing the Ants and Gon meeting Ging, instead he decided to expand his universe and put an arc as complex as Yorknew with some great characters.

And now he will never end the manga, so I see HxH getting discontinued. There has been almost 3 years without a chapter. If he ever comes back, they will drop 10 chapters, sell that volume, get tons of money and then back to hiatus.

Do you guys know of any manga that went through a 2+ years hiatus but then came back and finished? (Or just came back).

2 years is a pretty long time, if I were the author I would be quite fed up with my own manga, I mean, after such a long time probably not even Togashi knows what to do with the story anymore, he forgot about the plot details just as much as the readers.

Probably not..

Look.. I am a huge Hunter X Hunter fan. It is probably my favorite anime, but I gotta be real about the situation and Togashi in general..

People are always defending Togashi and saying things like we should be thankful for whatever we get and shit.. and please be understanding of his health issues. I am no longer playing that game. Togashi isn't some god that we need to worship and be thankful for him finishing a series that he has promised on numerous occasions that he would. I've also heard all I'm going to about "muh back" from the Togashi apologists.. No it is not reasonable for him to constantly put out like 10 scraps of a chapters a year because of 'back issues'. He is too stubborn to just outline the future arcs and allow his assistants to draw the panels.. Yes he might have some health issues but those decisions are holding the series in hiatus. That is on him.

He also never updates the situation with interviews explaining the status of the series or what is going on. It is very rare he does so.. because truthfully he doesn't give a shit. People also will say well we should be patient.. and you wouldn't like it if he rushed and put out low quality stuff. Yeah.. I don't think it takes an entire year to put out quality chapters. In fact he was chained to his desk and was putting out chapters every week with Yu Yu Hakusho and that series was great..

It's pretty much over for HxH fans. It's sad but true. Might as well take the conversation at the world tree as the ending and move on.


You pretty much summed up exactly how I feel about Hunter x Hunter now. This is why I refuse to read or buy the manga at this point. I'm not gonna buy work that will never be finished. The 2011 anime honestly has a perfect stopping point and I would stick to watching that and 1999. It's not worth reading the manga when none of the potential is gonna get utilized.

So no, he'll never finish it. Unlike something like Berserk, I can't see an ending anytime soon with HxH. Especially with Togashi's fucking horrible pacing.

Aged well… lol rip tho

I don't think he will, but to me, the series ended with the conversation at the great tree. At least in terms of Gon's journey. The whole reason Gon wanted to become a hunter was to search for his dad and because the other paternal figure he had, Kite, was a hunter. He found both, and the series ended with the revelation that there is an entire world yet to explore up to the reader's imagination. That's pretty fulfilling.

Kurapika found the clan's eyes offscreen so that's a different story. Sad that we won't see what happened after that... unless it's in the manga and I just haven't gotten to that part.

Killua found friends and liberated his sister, and Leorio just... wanted to become a doctor. We didn't see that happen, but do we really need to?

In terms of character arcs, Kurapika's the only one that didn't have a clear cut end, and in terms of story arcs or sagas what we got was pretty compelling. I like how the show ends with the chairman election. Really sells the concept of "moving on."

In all due honesty, the Dark Continent arc that follows it feels a bit like filler. It gives off the same vibe as learning about the Clone Wars in Star Wars versus actually seeing it happen. I would've preferred it if that just remained a concept.

So you could take the anime ending as the ending. It's pretty good all thing's considered. If that's not enough, however, there's the chance an anime studio will pick up the remaining arcs and give the entire series an anime-only ending eventually. It isn't terribly unccommon.

Yikes this didn't age well. RIP Miura.

I hope Hunter x Hunter finishes, but if it doesn't oh well that's life. Even if we never get another chapter it doesn't diminish everything that came before it.

Each arc can be read as a complete story with a beginning, middle and end. I've reread the Hunter Exam Arc alone like 5 times.

It seems that Hunter x Hunter will have the same fate as Berserk, the author will pass away, it will be left with an open ending and the anime and manga world itself will be available for everyone in the afterlife forever, together with all other anime and manga worlds.

Togashi will most likely never finish Hiatus x Hiatus. The only hope of it finishing is if he passes it on to another mangaka but he's explicity stated that he wants to work on it, so chances are slim.
It's a shame because it's such a good manga with so much potential now that the Dark Continent has been introduced.
Heck, I'd love if another mangaka did a 'sequel' that's set in the Dark Continent but with different plotlines and characters, simply because the world of Hunter x Hunter is so fun.
