The comeback of the manga “Hunter x Hunter” has been one of the most significant anime news stories in recent times.

As of October, the manga will continue with the Succession Contest Arc, but unfortunately, there has been no indication yet about the return of “Hunter x Hunter” anime, which ended in 2014 and is still worth exploring for a new generation.
