Hunter x Hunter author Yoshihiro Togashi gave an update via his twitter account on July 30, 2022, revealing the progress on chapters 393 to 399 of the manga. These chapters are a part of the first set of 10 chapters that Togashi was working on.

Most of these chapters are in the process of getting their background effects finalized, while in some chapters, the borders and text balloons are being made by the author.

The author’s tweet read as follows;

“No393 … Waiting for the retake manuscript to be returned.

No395… Waiting for the background effect to be returned.
No396… Waiting for the background effect to be returned.
No397 … My border, [speech] balloon,

No398 … My border, [speech] balloon,

Togashi had earlier said that Hunter x Hunter chapter 391 was completed and that chapter 392 was currently underway.

The author has done penning the drafts of chapters 391 to 401 and is currently working on the draft of next ten chapters of the manga.

The author added that he will keep updating on the status of the manuscripts of the new chapters.

There has been no concrete date set for Hunter x Hunter manga’s return. Neither Shueisha nor Shonen Jump have released an official statement about the manga returning from hiatus.

Hunter x Hunter written and illustrated by Togashi, has been serialized in Shonen Jump since March 1998. The manga had its fair share of hiatuses since 2006. The last chapter of Hunter x Hunter released on November 2018, and has since been on a hiatus till now.

The manga’s chapters have been collected into 34 tankobon volumes.
