Doubts grow about the future of HUNTER x HUNTER

The renowned mangaka Yoshihiro Togashi, creator of the popular series "HUNTER x HUNTER", has left his fans on tenterhooks once again after sharing a worrying update on his health. On his official Twitter account, the author wrote: "My back has not been well these last few days." This message has generated a wave of concern among its followers, who fear that the series could go on a long-term suspension again.

"HUNTER x HUNTER" is one of the most beloved and popular works of manga, but its serialization has been marked by long pauses due to Togashi's health problems. Since the publication of Chapter 400 in December 2022, there have been no new chapters, and while the author has promised on multiple occasions that "something new will be published soon," progress has been extremely slow. This situation has led fans to question whether the series will be able to continue or if it faces another indefinite hiatus.

The plight of "HUNTER x HUNTER" is largely due to Togashi's physical condition, who has struggled for years with chronic back problems that hinder his ability to work on a regular basis. The question that many ask is: aren't assistants supposed to be there to help in these cases? In the manga industry, it is common for authors to have a team of assistants to support them in the creation of manga, performing tasks such as inking or designing backgrounds. However, it seems that Togashi, known for being a perfectionist, prefers to work alone on many parts of the process, which could explain the lack of significant progress.

Despite the challenges, the popularity of "HUNTER x HUNTER" has not waned. Fans around the world continue to support the play and look forward to new chapters, despite repeated pauses. However, Togashi's recent update has renewed fears that the series could remain unfinished, something that would be devastating for fans who have followed the story of Gon Freecss and his friends since its inception in 1998.

For now, fans can only hope that Togashi's health improves and that the author can resume his work without major complications. Uncertainty about the future of "HUNTER x HUNTER" continues, but the hope of seeing the conclusion of this epic story is still alive among its loyal community of fans.
