Yoshihiro Togashi Reveals Behind-the-Scenes Stories of "Yu Yu Hakusho" Original Manuscripts: "The manuscript remains like this." - Toguro Brothers & Character Collection Two Pages Unveiled

"HUNTER×HUNTER" concluded its weekly serialization with the publication of Chapter 400 in the December 26, 2022 issue of "Weekly Shonen Jump." In the same issue, the editorial team explained, "Considering Togashi-sensei's health, we have decided, after consulting with him, to continue publishing 'HUNTER×HUNTER' in a format other than weekly serialization."

They added, "Togashi-sensei will continue writing the story, and the editorial team will continue to support him until 'HUNTER×HUNTER' is completed. We will announce the specific publication schedule and method in future issues of 'Weekly Shonen Jump.' We appreciate your continued support for 'HUNTER×HUNTER.'"

In a social media update on March 9, 2023, Togashi reported, "Chapter 401 is complete. Although the production system is not yet finalized, I am pleased that my desk work time is gradually increasing." He also mentioned that the future publication format had not yet been decided.

The series, which began serialization in 1998, follows the adventures of the protagonist Gon, a young boy who embarks on a journey with his friends, including his best friend Killua. Currently, the "Dark Continent Arc" (Succession War Arc), set aboard a ship aiming to travel to an unexplored continent, depicts the conflicting motives of various characters, including Kurapika and the Phantom Troupe. The serialization resumed on October 24, 2022, with Chapter 391, after a hiatus of 3 years and 11 months.
