Created by Yoshihiro Togashi, the Hunter x Hunter manga arrived in 1998 and continued smoothly until 2006. However, after that, the manga started taking several breaks. Whilesometimes these hiatuses were brief, other times the mangaka went on long breaks. Sadly, this was all due to the author’s declining health.

As of now, the author has beenworking on new chaptersof the series, but sadly, the author recently hinted that he is still facing some health issues. This again makes fans worried about the future of the manga, especially with anew HxH volume releaseright around the corner

The hiatuses of Hunter x Hunter are nothing new to the community, and still, they are crazy for such a popular Shonen manga series. Since HxH is incredibly popular, fans are always worried about the series’ future.

However, the community was recently disheartened to learn that the sensei is still dealing with severe back pain. Several fans commented on X to show their concern. Some requested the author hire someone to illustrate the figures for him, and several asked him not to risk his health for the manga.

Despite his illness, the author seems to be powering through the back pain and still trying to deliver new chapters as soon as possible. So, we shouldn’t lose patience and hope to see him get better soon.
