Togashi launched the manga in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1998. The manga has inspired two anime television series, two anime films, several original anime titles, and several stage plays. Shueisha published the manga's 37th compiled book volume, the manga's first in four years, in November 2022. Viz Media published the 37th compiled book volume in English on October 3.
Togashi disclosure in March 2023 that chapter 401 of the series had been completed, although he did not confirm when the series would return to serialization.
The manga went on hiatus in January 2023 due to the author's health problems. At the time, Shueisha stated that they consulted with Togashi and decided that the manga would not follow a weekly serialization format going forward. The editorial board added that once they know the specifics about the manga's return and how the manga will be serialized in the future, they will reveal the details in the magazine.
Bushiroad launched the Bushiroad Games label in January 2023.
