After more than four years since the publication of the most recent volume, the manga written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi, HUNTER x HUNTERfinally announced that the thirty-seventh compiled book volume will be released on November 4 in Japan.
So does this mean that the manga will already resume soon? The situation is uncertain, it turns out that there are ten published chapters (381-390) that have not been collected in a book, so it is possible that this next volume will only include those pending chapters. Still, maybe there is a chance that this next volume will include some chapters that will be released before November 4th? Only time will tell.
Anyway, it turns out that the possible resumption of HUNTER x HUNTER reached the eyes and ears of fans, including the Japanese YouTuber Totsugeki Tarue. In 2020, the YouTuber started a series of videos that he posts religiously titled “A thousand karate chops of gratitude a day until Hunter x Hunter resumes serialization“. In The hour-long videos feature Tarue donning a white martial arts gi while live streaming throwing hands literally every day until the manga resumes publication.
«I’m glad the series is coming back, but I’m sad that this is almost over», the YouTuber wrote after more than two years making his daily publications. Below is the most recent video of him and the post in question.
