The article on the Myjitsu website says:
Recently, several popular manga series that had been on hiatus for a long time have resumed their serialization. Fans are now turning to HUNTER x HUNTER, as it seems to be following the same path. What is the author Yoshihiro Togashi thinking? First, in the thirteenth edition of this year's Young Animal magazine, published on June 24, the serialization of “Berserk”, a hit of dark fantasy, which has sold a total of 50 million copies worldwide, was re-announced. 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 done by Studio Gaga, which is run by Mr. Miura's apprentice, 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". Furthermore, in the 8th issue of this year's 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 also became an animated TV series, but it has been on hiatus since December 2020. Its return to the magazine was the first time in a year and eight months.
"Berserk" and "Houseki no Kuni" are two very popular manga that fans were hoping would resume serialization. Naturally, there was a wave of joy on social media and elsewhere, but the name of this "manga has been in suspense for a long time" being from Shonen Jump and mentioned as a reference. Could it be that they were talking about "Hunter x Hunter"?
Numerous fans are eagerly 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 that manga we all know continue?”
