The creator of Hunter x Hunter has confirmed that he is currently working on Chapter 411 and has also shared glimpses of his stunning character illustrations, indicating that the series will be returning soon.
The highly anticipated return of the beloved shonen manga Hunter x Hunter is on the horizon. Authored and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi, the manga’s last chapter, Chapter 400, was published in 2022. However, the story has been on an indefinite hiatus since then.
Despite facing health challenges, Togashi was forced to halt production on the series. As a result, the fate of Hunter x Hunter was uncertain. With over a year passing without any updates, fans were resigned to the possibility of the manga remaining incomplete.
The future of the series was uncertain when Togashi announced the potential conclusion of Hunter x Hunter in 2023, in the event that he was unable to complete it. This announcement was made after he shared on Twitter that he was currently working on Chapter 401, which was a devastating blow for fans.
Fortunately, 2024 has brought good news for Hunter x Hunter fans. The author’s health has improved and he has been consistently working on his manga. To keep his fans informed, he frequently shares his progress on X. Currently, the mangaka has completed up to Chapter 411.

Despite not having full knowledge of the new chapters’ status, the recent progress indicates that the manga’s return could potentially be sooner rather than later. This is further supported by the author’s recent announcement of completing the dialogue for Chapter 406 and his consistent efforts to keep fans excited by sharing character illustrations.

The author has been gradually revealing his sketches of beloved characters from Hunter x Hunter, such as Gon, Killua, Biscuit, and others. Additionally, he has incorporated characters from his previous successful manga, Yu Yu Hakusho, into his posts.
Despite the lack of an official announcement, fans continue to hold onto high expectations for the return of Hunter x Hunter. One fan on Reddit expressed their excitement, stating “It’s always thrilling to see updates from Togashi!”
“One person shared, “It took me 2 entire days to finish the dialogue in Chapter 406. I’m excited to read the novel in this chapter and I can’t wait to see where the story goes!” , while another commented on X, “Togashi, you’re amazing.”
The anticipation for the return of Hunter x Hunter is steadily increasing and is expected to continue rising. While we await any official release dates, there are plenty of ongoing shonen manga such as One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, and My Hero Academia to keep us entertained.
