Hunter x Hunter manga has been on hiatus for a long time. The manga had previously been on hiatus due to Togashi’s health issues but returned briefly in 2022 before going on another hiatus in 2023.
Since then there have been no chapters released. Back in the month of May, the creator of HxH tweeted that he was working on chapter 405, confirming that the manga is not canceled and will return soon.
Hunter Hunter was previously serialized on Shonen Jump on a weekly basis, but due to the frequent hiatus, it was removed from the magazine.
YuYu Hakusho is another manga series by Togashi. Togashi apologizes for the hiatuses in a letter published in the final volume of YuYu Hakusho. Togashi wasn’t satisfied with the ending of YuYu Hakusho and he didn’t want the same outcome with Hunter X Hunter, so he took a huge break.
Togashi has also confirmed in his recent tweets that he had finished chapters 401 to 412 and has started working on 413. His tweet on June 23rd, 2024 confirmed that. He has been consistently uploading his illustrations on his Twitter account.
Hunter x Hunter Volume 38 Release Date Announced
Hunter x Hunter Volume 38 will officially be released on September 4, 2024. However, these are just old chapters that have already been released back in 2022. This volume will contain Chapters 390-400
Is There A Release Date of Hunter X Hunter Chapter 401
While Chapter 401 is finished, there’s no official release date yet. Shueisha has stated the manga won’t return to a weekly schedule, likely opting for monthly releases instead.
Togashi’s progress on 13 chapters in just a few months is impressive. It has been more than 1.5 years since the manga went on a hiatus and fans including me are excited for the return. Some fan blogs claim that it has been confirmed Hunter X Hunter is coming back in 2024. From the confirmation of Volume 38, we can speculate that the manga will surely return in 2024 and most likely after September, 2024.
However, until Shueisha confirms that, we can not know for sure when the manga will return.
I, like many fans, am eagerly awaiting the release date of HxH 401. Togashi-sensei, please take care of your health and start releasing the chapters!
Final Words
The manga has been on and off hiatus due to the author’s health problems. He was also worried about the ending of HxH as he didn’t want to make the same mistake he did with YuYu Hakusho. So, what do you think will HxH return this year?
