In 2023, Shueisha announced that Hunter x Hunter would no longer follow a fixed weekly format due to the author's physical condition. Since then, Togashi has shared sporadic updates on the progress of the chapters through his social media.
Released in 1998, Hunter x Hunter remains one of the most influential works in Shonen Jump history, with adaptations in anime, films, stage plays, and games. Now, the manga's return marks another important chapter in the series' trajectory.
