Perhaps a weekly serial is too hard a schedule for Togashi-sensei. At this time, it is not certain when we will be able to resume the series.”Ī tragedy for fans, indeed.
#Hxh manga 2016 series#
“The last time the series was put on hold, it was because of Togashi-sensei’s lower back pain, and once again, his condition has gotten worse, necessitating a break again. We felt so emotionally involved, as a matter of fact, that we actually contacted Shueisha to see if we could find out any information on the situation concerning the recently announced break.
It really is a pity, too, since the story was getting truly exciting and reaching a point where readers would be dying to find out what happens next. ▼ The recent issue of Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, in which the sad news was announced: At least we got 11 good new episodes, and you could even say that this time, the quality of the artwork was better than usual (which is actually a big deal for Togashi, who has been known at times to submit and publish work that looks decidedly half-finished, albeit still attractive). Was something wrong (again) with the manga’s creator, Yoshihiro Togashi? Well, as followers of the series will no doubt be aware by now, Togashi, despite being acknowledged as a brilliant storyteller, is also known for taking long periods off from manga writing, so much so that his fans are used to Togashi being able to produce work for only a short period of time - in fact, you could say that something like this was almost expected. So it was to the delight of fans, the series resumed serialization in April of this year, and despite the long break, the new episodes have not disappointed, giving readers much to talk about and anticipate with each new magazine issue.īut alas, the period of happy enjoyment for fans was short-lived, as it was officially announced in this week’s Weekly Shonen Jump that after roughly only three months, Hunter x Hunter was again going to be put on hold with no mention of the reason for the hiatus or when it might resume again. ▼ The tweet back in March from Weekly Shonen Jump’s publisher, Shueisha, saying that a huge announcement concerning the manga would be made in the upcoming issue of the magazine: When it was announced back in March that popular manga Hunter x Hunter would resume serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine after being on hold for roughly 20 months, the response was huge, to put it mildly, and ecstatic fans filled the internet with congratulatory tweets and illustrations. We can almost hear the collective screams of fans, “ No, not again!“
