Hunter x Hunter is one of the more popular shonen series among fans of shonen. Due to Togashi's health issues, the martial arts comic went into its longest hiatus ever in the fall of 2018. It seems like the series is about to make a comeback after four years of waiting.

An account claiming to be Togashi posted a photo of the corner of a Manga page with the caption: "4 more episodes for the time being." It is being taken as a confirmation that the beloved series will be coming back in the near future.

The series takes place in a world where licensed Hunters go on missions to hunt monsters, fight criminals, or find treasure. The lead character of the game is a Hunter who wants to find his missing father and become one of the best hunters in the world. He befriends Killua, the heir of an assassin family, as well as a med student and a survivor of his murdered clan. The series has been adapted into two different forms of entertainment, with the most recent of the two being released in 2011.

The final chapter of the Chimera Ant story was wrapped up when the final chapter of the Manga ended. To retrieve the eyes of his slain clan members, Kurapika signs up to bodyguard a baby princess, with his brother-in-law, Leorio, accompanying him on the ship as a medic.
