What I like about Hunter x Hunter is character development, there are layers to each and every character, they aren't 1D, not just black and white but revolve in various shades, be it kurapika, killua, gon or even hisoka.
It's not that Yoshihiro Togashi focuses on just main characters or a few side characters even his smaller characters like Razor become memorable.
Villains are extremely well written, no TNJ, exceptional plot.Even in the last arc he developed Gon from a innocent shonen manga lead to a much darker character on the need of plot, not many shonen writers can do it, they simply alter plot on the basis of their lead characters.
Hunter x Hunter in a way is much better than togashi's yu yu hakusho.
