Hunter x Hunter Creator Reveals Details on Upcoming Chapter 401 Release

Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401 is eagerly anticipated, and creator Yoshihiro Togashi has expressed his gratitude to fans for their unwavering support.

As one of the most beloved and acclaimed anime and manga series, Hunter x Hunter has left a significant mark on the industry. While the anime reboot concluded in 2014, the manga saw its latest installment, Chapter 400, released in 2022, largely due to Togashi’s health challenges.

Now, Togashi is back at the helm, with Hunter x Hunter Chapter 401 scheduled for release on October 6, 2024. This new chapter will be serialized once again in Weekly Shonen Jump. Currently, Togashi is diligently working on Chapter 421 and has been sharing insights and updates on Twitter/X.

In a tradition among WSJ mangakas, Togashi includes a special note with each chapter. In the 45th issue, he conveyed a heartfelt message.

Yoshihiro Togashi’s author comment from Shonen Jump issue #45: “I am deeply grateful that this publication has been made possible thanks to the support and efforts of so many people.”

Togashi remarked, “I am deeply grateful that this publication has been made possible thanks to the support and efforts of so many people.”

Fans are elated to witness the return of their cherished manga after a two-year hiatus, and they’ve shared their support. One fan commented, “We are grateful too for your dedication and hard work even though you were in so much pain but it didn’t stop your passion for manga and continue drawing.”

Another fan expressed, “I love this about Togashi. Even though many consider him the best manga author ever, he remains humble and acknowledges that he wouldn’t be here without the support of others. Love him,” tweeted another supporter.

Currently, the series is delving into the Succession Contest Arc, which features 14 princes of the Kakin Empire competing in a brutal battle as the Black Whale journeys to the Dark Continent.
