On Thursday, September 5, 2024, the latest sales figures for the 38th and newest compilation volume of Yoshihiro Togashi’s original Hunter x Hunter manga were unveiled. Despite only one day of sales data being available due to the volume’s release on Wednesday, September 4, the manga still managed to secure the top spot on the Shoseki manga rankings for that day.
The success of Hunter x Hunter volume 38 has brought great anticipation for the manga’s return to Weekly Shonen Jump on Monday, October 7, 2024. With a strong focus on the series leading up to its return, fans can look forward to Togashi’s triumphant return and the manga’s full force.
Hunter x Hunter: The Continuing Popularity of Togashi’s Epic Manga
Regrettably, the Shoseki Ranking blog website does not disclose the specific sales figures for Hunter x Hunter volume 38 or any other series. However, it does provide a ranking for the top 500 comic sales, encompassing various genres, demographics, formats, and more. This serves to highlight the remarkable accomplishment of volume 38, despite the inability to precisely quantify its magnitude.
The Shoseki website not only provides daily manga sales rankings, but also updates weekly and monthly rankings. This allows fans to monitor the success of volume 38 over time. Despite being the first compilation volume released for the series since volume 37 in November 2022, it is unlikely that volume 38 will decrease in commercial popularity anytime soon.
Volume 38 includes the chapters that were released after the manga’s return from hiatus, which happened to be in late October 2022. These chapters, 391-400, were published in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from October 24 to December 26, 2022. They primarily focused on the origins of the Phantom Troupe, delving into how the group was brought together by a tragic event.
Despite the release of chapter 398, the ongoing Succession Contest arc remained the main focus. The upcoming chapters, set to begin on October 4, are also anticipated to primarily revolve around this arc. The exact number of chapters in this latest release is unknown at the time of writing, but it can be assumed that at least chapters 401 to 410 will be made available.
In March 1998, Yoshihiro Togashi started his manga series, Hunter x Hunter, which has been published in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine since then. This manga has been made into two television anime adaptations, with the 2011 version being the more well-known and highly praised one.
