So, your bestie is tying the knot! Beyond the usual cash envelope, if you're super close, a thoughtful gift is pretty much mandatory. But what do you even get them?
Recently, a wildly creative choice popped up on X (formerly Twitter) in Japan. A user shared the wedding gift they received from a friend: the complete manga collection of Yoshihiro Togashi's Hunter x Hunter! This out-of-the-box idea earned massive praise from netizens, who called its underlying meaning truly exceptional and made it an instant viral hit.
The photos show the entire "Hunter x Hunter" manga collection being picked up at Kinokuniya, with each volume being taken off the shelf and lined up at the checkout. All 38 volumes! At around 500 yen a pop, that's roughly 20,000 yen total. A "friendship price," perhaps? LOL. Regardless, the recipient expressed immense gratitude for their friend's thoughtful (and hilarious) gesture.
This quirky and bizarre choice immediately became a hot topic online. Many users lauded it as an absolutely genius idea, wondering how anyone could come up with such creativity. The prevailing theory? Gifting it to newlyweds carries the wish for their marriage to be "never-ending"—just like the manga itself (?).
Looks like this manga set is about to become a wedding essential, huh? Gotta be super thankful! W.
Others suggested it symbolizes an eternal friendship. Who knew "Hunter x Hunter" had so many profound meanings? LOL.
Even international netizens were showering praise, saying what an amazing friend this person has. Turns out, this particular brand of humor is truly universal!
Some users even jokingly called for Yoshihiro Togashi-sensei himself to give it a like... XD.
So, the next time you're racking your brain for a wedding gift for a manga-loving friend, this option might just be a surprisingly brilliant choice!
