Hunter x Hunter Gets Promising Return Update From Hiatus With New Release

Good news for fans of Hunter x Hunter! After a break since 2024, the manga is set to return later this year. Creator Yoshihiro Togashi has been working diligently on new chapters, despite ongoing health challenges that have caused previous long breaks in the series.

Fans of Hunter x Hunter have been eagerly awaiting new chapters, and creator Yoshihiro Togashi has been sharing updates over the past year. Now, it looks like a major update is coming later this year with the release of a new manga volume on July 3rd. This is the first new volume in almost two years, suggesting that more chapters are likely on their way.

Hunter x Hunter Volume 39 Release Date Announced

The 39th volume of Hunter x Hunter will be released in Japan on July 3rd, according to Comic Natalie. This is the first physical copy of the manga to be released in nearly two years. The volume includes chapters 400-410, which represent the series’ return after a hiatus. This release suggests that Shonen Jump is likely preparing another set of ten chapters, indicating the series will continue.

Yoshihiro Togashi, the creator of Hunter x Hunter, is planning to release another ten chapters of the manga. He’s already started working on Chapter 421 and beyond, suggesting that Chapters 411-420 are finished and ready to appear in Weekly Shonen Jump soon. Fans are hoping to see the new chapters released later this year, possibly as early as August or in the fall.

What’s Going on With Hunter x Hunter?

The current arc of Hunter x Hunter, the Succession Contest, will continue for at least ten more chapters. While this arc has introduced many new characters and powers before the story reaches the Dark Continent, the frequent breaks in publication have made it difficult to follow for those who haven’t been reading consistently. It’s been an engaging story so far, but it’s not very accessible for readers returning after a long break.

With the manga coming back soon, it’s a good idea to rewatch or reread Hunter x Hunter first. The story can be complex, and it’s easy to get lost if you haven’t seen it in a while. That complexity is part of what makes the series so beloved, but a refresher will definitely help! You can find it on Viz Media’s digital Shonen Jump or Shueisha’s MangaPlus.
