Hunter x Hunter is definitely one of the best anime and manga in history. However, the series has often been on hiatus due to the author's poor health. Currently, we are in the middle of the ongoing Succession Contest Arc, introducing the 14 princes of the Kakin Empire.
They are expected to kill each other in a terrible battle when the Black Whale sets sail for the Dark Continent. The arc will continue in chapter 401 and the manga has announced a release date for a new volume.
In anticipation of fans, the manga will release a new volume on Wednesday, September 4, 2024. It will cover chapters 390 to 400, which were previously released. The most recent chapter was released in December 2022 before going on hiatus due to Togashi's health.
However, the mangaka has now worked on at least 16 more chapters and has been sharing updates on Twitter/X . The manga is expected to return to regular serialization, possibly in Shonen Jump.
According to one person revealed: “Hunter x Hunter volume 38 comes out in September. If we follow the volume 37 release pattern and if they don't move Hunter x Hunter out of Jump, the manga will return to volumes 38 – 41.”
A fan shared his feelings about this news: “I've been praying for times like this.” Someone else said: “I hope Togashi stays healthy and can continue doing what he loves.”
