Good news comes from the mangaka Hunter X Hunter. After a hiatus of four years or since 2018, Hunter x Hunter is back for its fans around the world.
The manga will be resumed by Yoshihiro Togashi as the creator of Hunter X Hunter in 2022. Currently, the continuation of the Hunter X Hunter manga is still being worked on by Togashi.
The voice actor from the Hunter X Hunter anime adaptation, Mariya Ise, welcomes the return of the series. Mariya Ise is the voice of Killua's character. However, Ise doesn't know the details of the continuation of Hunter X Hunter or the direction of the arc that Togashi is working on.
"The Dark Continent arc that we don't know will continue. The story can develop anywhere. So yes, we are also really waiting for information about it," said Ise in an interview with Crunchyroll as quoted from ComicBook, Wednesday, March 31, 2022.
Togashi shared information via his Twitter account in May 2022 about the continuation of Hunter X Hunter which he was working on. He shared a photo showing a draft of the manga he was working on.
Ise also said that he didn't know anything about the continuation of Hunter X Hunter that Togashi was working on before the tweet went viral. He also had time to wonder if the account belonged to Togashi, considering that the account was only opened in May 2022.
Moreover, there were questions from fans regarding the authenticity of the Twitter account before official confirmation. However, Ise just found out for sure the continuation of the Hunter X Hunter series and related to the authenticity of Togashi's Twitter account after confirming this with several sources.
Until now there has been no official response regarding the return of Hunter X Hunter. Likewise from Shueisha, considering Togashi worked under Shueisha. However, currently, Togashi is confirmed to be working on the continuation of the Hunter X Hunter manga together with his team.
Fans can't wait for the return of the series, which has a background story in a world inhabited by a group of people who have ambitions to become skilled hunters.
