The Myjitsu website article says:
Recently, several popular manga series that had been on hiatus for a long time have resumed serialization. Fans are now turning to HUNTER x HUNTER, as it appears to be following in the same footsteps. What is author Yoshihiro Togashi thinking? First, in this year's thirteenth issue of Young Animal magazine, published on June 24th, the serialization of "Berserk," a dark fantasy hit that has sold a total of 50 million copies worldwide, was resumed. The series had been on hiatus since the death of its author, Kentaro Miura, in May of last year, but was brought back to life with the help of manga artist Kouji Mori, a close ally of the author.
The artwork is by Studio Gaga, which Mr. Miura's apprentice works under, and is of such high quality that it closely resembles the original. A total of six episodes are scheduled for release in the future until the conclusion of the "Fantasy Arc/Elves Island Arc." Additionally, in this year's 8th issue of Monthly Afternoon magazine, the serialization of Haruko Ichikawa's Houseki no Kuni (Land of the Lustrous) was resumed. The play was so successful that it was also turned into an animated TV series, but has been on hiatus since December 2020. Its return to the magazine is the first time in a year and eight months.
"Berserk" and "Houseki no Kuni" are two very popular manga that fans have been waiting for to resume serialization. Naturally, there was an outpouring of joy on social media and elsewhere, but the name of this "suspenseful manga" being from Shonen Jump and mentioned as a reference. Is it true they were talking about "Hunter x Hunter?"
Countless fans are awaiting the resumption of this work with comments such as: " The world moves on, with the resumption of the serialization of Houseki no Kuni and Berserk. And then there's Hunter x Hunter… "; " I think Hunter x Hunter might be next "; " Berserk and Houseki no Kuni are back on the market, will the manga we all know continue?"
Synopsis:
The story takes place in a world where hunters exist to perform all sorts of dangerous tasks, such as capturing criminals and bravely searching for lost treasures in unknown territories. Twelve-year-old Gon Freecss is determined to become the best hunter he can be in the hopes of finding his father, a hunter who abandoned his family long ago. However, Gon soon realizes that the path to achieving his goals is far more challenging than he ever imagined.
The manga was finally published in March 1998 in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine by Yoshihiro Togashi and has taken numerous breaks from publication since 2006.
