[Discussion] Today marks 1 year since the last HxH chapter

[Byron123]

I feel that's mainly because of Togashi's hiatuses. HxH only has 349 chapters so I don't expect to get answers this "early" on. Yes, it is a issue but I think there's bigger issues that people rarely mention. For instances, Togashi poorly handling the main cast. During Greed island and Chimera Ant arc, we didn't see much progression in Kurapika/Leorio's goals.

I don't see what there's to be jealous of. Yes, it does suck but what does being jealous over a series even accomplish lol? You think you have it bad with TG? Look at Toriko. In Japan, TG is really popular and doing extremely well in sales. Meanwhile, Toriko isn't that popular and the sales isn't that great, even here it's not popular or rarely does it ever get the praise it deserves. Look at the latest chapter discussion, I'm the only one who commented lmao. I'm not going to get jealous over HxH's popularity/praise because I feel that other series deserves it just as much as HxH.

Well it's not I compare it with TG only per se but rather it annoys me a bit to try to start a conversation over some other ongoing mangas such Black Butler where I get almost no response and here HxH, a manga which extremely rarely gets updates is full of people willing to discuss about it even though they have lost their connection with it for 1 year.

How long do you predict it will take? Will he ever get back? Does anyone think that the series won't have a rushed ending at this point? He has taken way too long with the series and it should've finished a long time ago. I honestly wish the manga ended after Gon met Ging and had their discussion on top of the World Tree. That would've been a perfect time to end it since the main character have achieved his goal after a long journey. It's unreasonable for Togashi to think he will end the series on a better note than that especially when he can't even bring himself to do 10 chapters without going on a hiatus. In my opinion either HxH will never end or it will have a rushed ending that's not even good.

Has it really been a year already? Rather than getting worked up about it I'm just going to hold onto my nugget of hope that Togashi has been doing a page here and there this whole time and when he decides he's ready he'll have a nice stock pile to release.

I still have trust in him that he will finish the series and show why its so great and different from other shonen series. HxH and Magi are the best shonen i have seen.

I don't get why some people think it doesn't deserve the praise. First of all every shonen has a simple story to it, whether it is the mc looking for his father or the overused a guy has a dream he wants to make come true. The trick is when you have someone that good as Togashi, then you know he will make something great out of it.

The fights he makes are genius. Not just action, some moves here and there and a poerup to impress teenages to buy it.
There is alot of strategy, the fighting system is more realistic as in other shonen, no asspuls and not definitely not predictable as much as in fights we get everytime. Best fighting sxstem so far.

The development he is giving the characters is also one of his greatness.
By the time of the CA arc, though, Killua had become the light to Gon's darkness. Gon's idealistic and cheerful personality came to work against him, ripping him apart. He became solely focused on rescuing Kite, a single-minded determination that caused him to isolate himself from others and even distance himself from Killua. Instead of the happy Gon we had grown accustomed to, we had an odd, dangerous child out for revenge. This is all heavily contrasted in the same arc with Killua's new friendships. Instead of isolation and despair, Killua grows even more sociable and is able to build new bonds easily, with both Ikalgo and Palm.
Not to mention Kurapika's development in YNC and Meruem's brilliant turn.
This is why i really wanna see HxH coming back soon, because there are still characters left
we haven't seen going through this impact of development.


The villains are just enjoyable and great. It's not your typical ones like poor lil guy had a bad past and bla bla bla.
This is another point where you can see is amazing writing. Even when they are downright evil and commits atrocious acts, they aren't exactly one dimensional. Will be even better once we will finally learn more about Hisoka and the PT.

Very nice post. Too bad I can't rep you xD. Indeed, Togashi is the best when it comes to handling battles. Although some people do over-praise the series when they say it's perfect lol.

Yeah, people should look at how many chapters HxH has, not how long the series has been running for. It's reasonable that there's still many questions left unanswered.
