'Hunter X Hunter' Manga Rumored To Return In 2016? Yoshihiro Togashi Might Come Back To The Series?

The adventure manga series "Hunter X Hunter" is rumored to be launched again after a long hiatus spell from its author, Yoshihiro Togashi, according to Rocket News 24.

Yoshihiro stopped working on the manga series long back at chapter 349 reportedly due to his excruciating health issue concerning a severe back pain, and no new chapter of the series has been published since then.

Recently, Movies News Guide reported that Togashi is making efforts to get well soon to continue writing his most popular manga series "Hunter X Hunter." The reason behind his efforts is the negativity shadowed upon the bookstore owners in Japan regarding the sale of the manga copies.


The Japanese bookstore owners may have been irritated over the unpredictable production of the manga series as Togashi was off duty for a long time, which led them to remove the manga from the bookstores, as reported by Youth Health Magazine.

Crunchy Roll reported that BookOff book store even declared that the series had come to end and sold the entire 32 volumes book set for around $59-63.

Yoshihiro is known for his long breaks between his writings, so as to keep the readers expecting for more and more. But this time due to his health reasons, he has taken too long to make a comeback. Even the 2015's final issue of "Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine" did not feature new installment of "Hunter X Hunter," leaving all the fans of the manga series disappointed.

The last chapter 349 of the manga series titled "Loneliness" was all about King Nasubi, Kurapika and Mizaistom. The fans of the manga series also suggested that there is more to the story and was not the end of the series even if the hiatus was announced by the author, reported Reddit.

Fans of the manga are hoping that the next episode of the much-awaited, "Hunter X Hunter" release date is going to happen in 2016.
