Yoshihiro Togashi's Hunter x Hunter finally returned to Weekly Shonen Jump last October after a lengthy hiatus, only to go on temporary break again after chapter 410, leaving fans once more concerned about his health.
After an eight-month silence on X, Togashi resumed posting in late August. While not frequent, his updates show he's still hard at work. He recently shared an illustration drawn on "manuscript paper leftover from 35 years ago," continuously updating his progress and sparking fervent fan discussions.
Lately, Togashi has been uploading hand-drawn sketches to X almost daily, simultaneously revealing his manga progress. He's frequently using what he calls "manuscript paper leftover from 35 years ago" for his character illustrations. A closer look reveals work progress notes next to the characters, indicating these aren't just casual doodles – it seems Togashi-sensei is truly enjoying the process.
While there's still no official news about the series' return – in typical "Hunter-style slow" fashion – Togashi-sensei's continuous stream of hand-drawn art and updates has fans buzzing. Comments like "Just seeing his brushstrokes is moving!" and "This is Togashi's unique progress bar!" flood his posts. For readers, every single sketch is a beacon of hope for the series' eventual comeback.
It certainly looks like the lights are turning green for a potential Hunter x Hunter serialization restart! Of course, there's no official announcement yet, but seeing Togashi-sensei consistently update his work progress suggests he's taking care of his health. And as long as he's healthy, a comeback is always on the cards... fingers crossed!
