When will Hunter x Hunter resume…? Summary of HxH Author Togashi-sensei's Posts on X (formerly Twitter): Is the Series Resuming September?


Next to the manuscript, it says, "Tonda birthday present (The Unexpected birthday present)." This work is a one-shot manga published in "WJ Special Edition Shonen Jump 1988 Winter Special". Remarkably, it is Togashi-sensei's debut work as a professional manga artist. It is included in the short story collection "Ōkami Nante Kowakunai!!."



This is the art style from the early days of Hunter x Hunter. It seems to be the illustration from the cover of Chapter 5.



It looks like an illustration for a Jump calendar that gathered the protagonists of works serialized in Shonen Jump in 1992. It depicts Yusuke Urameshi in a school uniform.



It was Killua's birthday, wasn't it? This illustration seems to be newly drawn!


1st week of July


In the top right corner of the illustration of Yusuke Urameshi from Yu Yu Hakusho, it says "Teleca." Was this part of a promotional giveaway for something? If anyone has information, please let me know!



It seems the manuscript is still progressing! "No. 408, dialogue insertion complete. Instruction sheet creation complete. No. 409, dialogue insertion in progress. Instruction sheet in progress."



The center color page published in Jump. It’s the title page of Chapter 209.



The character depicted with an eerie atmosphere is Jean-Louis Bradley, who appears only in the novel version. He participated in the 287th Hunter Exam, which Gon and the others took. He is a descendant of a vampire clan and the third head of the Bradley family, an assassination family comparable to the Zoldyck family. After encountering Gon and the others on the ship, he persistently followed them but was defeated by Gon in the fourth phase of the exam.



This is the frontispiece of Chapter 9 of Hunter x Hunter. How nostalgic!



It looks like the character is drawn beyond the frame of the panel. Hunter x Hunter has such impressive panels, always drawing me in.

According to Togashi-sensei's comment, "No.407, dialogue insertion complete. Working on the color. To be precise, I'm avoiding it by working on the No.414 manuscript." It seems that the "Hunter x Hunter" manuscript is steadily progressing!

The illustration is from the Weekly Shonen Jump 2001 issue 5-6 double issue. The cover at that time featured Luffy from "One Piece" and Gon standing side by side.



This is an illustration from the peak of the Dark Tournament in Yu Yu Hakusho. The color illustrations from the Yu Yu Hakusho era have a unique atmosphere, don't they?
It seems to have been drawn for the cover of Weekly Shonen Jump issue 44 in 1992, but according to fan research, it appears that some details are different!
