It’s been tough for Hunter X Hunter manga fans the last couple of years as they want more of their favorite series but fear that more of it will end up killing its creator, Yoshihiro Togashi. With the mangaka suffering from serious back pain previously that caused him to put the book on ice with its serialization back in August 2014, the official site is now revealing that he’s about to restart the series once again. Details are expected to arrive in the next issue of the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine this coming weekend.
Togashi’s work has been running since 1998 and there are currently thirty-two volumes produced, which have been released in full in North America by Viz Media.
Property concept: A Hunter is one who travels the world doing all sorts of dangerous tasks. From capturing criminals to searching deep within uncharted lands for any lost treasures. Gon is a young boy whose father disappeared long ago, being a Hunter. He believes if he could also follow his father’s path, he could one day reunite with him.
After becoming 12, Gon leaves his home and takes on the task of entering the Hunter exam, notorious for its low success rate and high probability of death to become an official Hunter. He befriends the revenge-driven Kurapika, the doctor-to-be Leorio and the rebellious ex-assassin Killua in the exam, with their friendship prevailing throughout the many trials and threats they come upon taking on the dangerous career of a Hunter.
