Fans of shonen manga and anime have plenty of series they love—series we’ve talked about a few times on this site—and among the upper tier of those is Hunter x Hunter. Yoshihiro Togashi’s martial arts manga has been a commercial and critical success since it debuted in 1998, but due to Togashi’s health issues, it went into its longest hiatus ever in 2018 following the release of its most recent issue. After four years of waiting, it sounds like the series is about to make a[nother] comeback.
A Twitter account named Togashi tweeted a photo of the corner of a manga page, with the caption that read “4 more episodes for the time being.” This is the account’s only tweet, but according to One-Punch Man artist Yusuke Murata, that’s the real Togashi’s Twitter. For Hunter x Hunter fans, this is a soft verification that the beloved series will be returning in the near future.

For the ones who are not aware of the Hunter x Hunter plot, the series takes place in a world where licensed Hunters are on a mission to fight criminals, or find treasure. Its lead protagonist, Gon Freecss, becomes a Hunter with the mission of finding his father, who was one of the best hunters in the world. Freecss makes some friends along his travels: Killua, the heir of an assassin family; a med student named Leorio; and Kurapika, the sole survivor of his murdered clan. The series has been adapted into anime twice and is available on Crunchyroll for people to enjoy. They can watch the series there before the new episodes come out.
When the manga last left off, it had just finished Gon’s story in the “Chimera Ant” arc and was turning its attention to Kurapika. Kurapika signs up to bodyguard a baby princess in order to recover the stolen eyes of his slain clan members, with Leorio accompanying him as a medic on the ship.
