In December 2022, author Yoshihiro Togashi decided to take a break and the Hunter x Hunter series was also left unfinished. Many fans expressed regret and hoped for the author's return and finally their wishes were granted.
The author posted the draft of Hunter x Hunter on X
Yoshihiro Togashi's last two tweets, dated May 15, 2024, were supposedly images of the draft for Chapter 407. Togashi's words suggest that he's already started working on it. However, the pages have been cropped, leaving only some vague sketches that don't spoil anything. It may not sound exciting, but this proves that Togashi completed at least two chapters in a two-week period — assuming his tweeting schedule matches his writing schedule.
This unusually fast pace of work has breathed new life into the Hunter x Hunter series. Fans have also expressed their excitement by retweeting and leaving countless comments. However, when chapter 401 will be released and whether it is completed is still a mystery.
It's very possible that this groundbreaking and influential Shonen manga will be returning sooner than expected. Based on what's known about Hunter x Hunter's current state, there are already a lot of chapters drawn. The reason for the delay is probably related to finalizing the release schedule or dealing with some last-minute revisions. With Togashi's current frequent updates, Shonen Jump seems intent on bringing Hunter x Hunter back, and fans are optimistic that their long wait will finally be worth it.
