Hunter x Hunter manga possibly discontinued indefinitely

“Shonen Jump tweet hints at indefinite hiatus for Hunter x Hunter manga”

On February 19, 2023, Shonen Jump News sent out a tweet suggesting that the serialization of Hunter x Hunter may have come to an end. The tweet revealed that the manga by Yoshihiro Togashi has been moved to the archive section of Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, alongside other series that have been concluded, canceled, or transferred.

This news sent shockwaves through the fandom, leading to widespread discussion and speculation online. Many fans have resigned themselves to the idea that the hiatus following chapter 400 may be permanent, with little hope of the series returning anytime soon.

The tweet from Shonen Jump News indicated that Hunter x Hunter is no longer listed as a “Serialized Work” on the official website of Weekly Shonen Jump. Instead, it has been categorized under “Archived Serializations,” which is where completed, canceled, or transferred works are preserved. Previously, the series had been on hiatus multiple times.

Hunter x Hunter went on hiatus after chapter 400 in December 2022 when it was still in the “Serialized Work” section of Weekly Shonen Jump. This led fans to anticipate the mangaka Yoshihiro Togashi’s eventual return to continue the manga. However, with the series now being archived, it is uncertain if a comeback is in the cards.

The reason behind this outcome can be attributed to Togashi’s health issues, which have disrupted the flow of the manga. Since November 2018, after the release of chapter 390, the series has experienced extended breaks. In October 2022, Togashi resumed regular serialization, delighting fans with the return of Hunter x Hunter. However, a few months later, the series once again went on hiatus due to Togashi’s deteriorating health. Despite no official updates from the author or the series’ official platforms, the move of Hunter x Hunter to the archived section of Shonen Jump raises significant concerns.

Opinions among manga readers and fans of the series have been divided since learning about the manga’s archival status. Some believe it is for the best, considering the immense pressure Togashi faced to produce the series regularly, which had taken a toll on his health. On the other hand, there are fans who are deeply disappointed with the latest update on the manga’s status within Shonen Jump.

While it remains uncertain whether Hunter x Hunter will ever reach a conclusion to Gon’s adventure, Togashi has already created a masterpiece that will continue to be cherished by readers for a long time. As fans continue to pray for Togashi’s well-being, they hold onto hope that the mangaka will one day return to complete Gon’s journey.
