Yoshihiro Togashi drops more teasers for the return of his brainchild, "Hunter x Hunter." After three and a half years, the manga will make a comeback to continue the story of Killua, Gon, Kurapika and Leorio.
With the images Togashi drops, fans assume "Hunter x Hunter" will have four new issues, though an editor confirms it will have ten. So, what story is it about to tell this time?
The mangaka originally tweeted the series' production pictures from an unknown account many suspected to be fake. However, "One-Punch Man" illustrator himself, Yusuke Murata, cleared the page was legit and it belonged to Togashi, who was teasing the manga's comeback.
The creator then dropped more teasers, showing the fans his progress two days after releasing his first preview images. SportsKeeda noted that if he was still working on the same issue that he posted the last time, he seemed to be currently working on the seventh page.
Some sparse art could also be seen in the latest posted snaps, with drawings in the background that looked like a crowd of people. Togashi also gave a glimpse of the current draft's other sketches, though it did not give a clear impression of what was being drawn.
So far, the previews Togashi had posted seemed to be from two new chapters, labeled six and seven. Comicbook added one of his editors confirmed that the manga artist is working on a set of ten new chapters that will complete a full volume.
However, fans only have to take this assumption with a grain of salt as nothing is officially confirmed yet by Togashi himself. But by the looks of it, he seems to be currently working on six chapters with three or four more to finish.
These drafts need to be refined and inked first before it finally moves to finalization. So, if Togashi finishes all these works, then fans will get to see "Hunter x Hunter" again by the fall or winter.
Meanwhile, fans who want to catch up with the manga can read the series on Viz Media or Manga Plus. For those who have not read it yet, here is the official synopsis.
The manga features a special breed of Hunters dedicated to tracking down treasures, magical beasts and other people. However, to do these things, they need to have a license and only a few in a hundred thousand can pass the qualification exam.
The lucky passers will gain access to restricted areas, information stores and the right to call themselves "Hunters." Now, the big question is, can Gon, a simple country boy, can follow in his father's footsteps and join the ranks in "Hunter x Hunter?"
