Chapter 399: Nobunaga and Hinrigh are the new dynamic duo. Despite Morena’s goons clearly being amateurs, they have pesky abilities. Will be interesting to see how they deal with that.

So, odds that Hisoka's gonna do something for the big 4-0? I'm really not optimistic that Nobunaga or Phinks are long for this world.

Well since Hisoka is heading up to the first level, my guess is that he'll be the one to let Kurapika know the troupe is on board, tempting him away from his duties as a bodyguard.

Togashi has been taking things fairly slowly since the return, but yeah I feel like the bomb is gonna drop when Hisoka finally makes his move, whether it be meeting Kurapika or the Troupe first

Some news I'm hearing: Togashi has met with SJ staff and editors concerning his health problems and HXH will no longer be serialized weekly. Togashi is going to, with the help of editors, "pen the story to completion," but they're going to clarify exactly how it'll be released in future issues.

A hiatus after 10 chapters was expected since that's how the last several batches went but finding a different kind of schedule to publish HXH with is interesting and probably long overdue.

I just hope Togashi is taking care of himself.

Chapter 400 we finally see Kurapika again and Melody tries to figure out which Prince killed Kacho

Sad that Togashi is going back to hiatus but hope his health improves and he gets some good rest. Grateful for this recent stretch of chapters with learning more about the Phantom Troupe and the mafia especially

Honestly glad Nen Kacho is sticking around. She's one of the more interesting princes. Think I'm gonna try and reread this arc, since Togashi is going back on hiatus anyway.

If I recall correctly Tubeppa is one of the princes that's allied with a mafia family. Maybe Kurapika has a connection there from his job? In any case, he definitely wants and could use more support.

Melody continues to be best girl. That man may have been lying about falling in love with her, but I'm not.

Dang, you're really just gonna leave that hanging awkwardly like that? Well, I don't take it back, Melody is Best Girl. I think if you counted up all her panels between the Yorknew City and Succession War arcs, she might have the most screentime out of any female character in the series (only Biscuit really rivals her, and while she was in a lot of Greed Island, she was barely in Chimera Ant).

Anyway, they posted a promotional video for the "Hyskoa vs Quwrof" fight, for some reason:

I think it'd be really cool to bring the anime back. They should have enough material for 3-4 cours, even if it technically ends in a weird spot mid-arc.

Which part does the anime end on, again?

Gotcha. I do think it would be cool if we could at least get one more cour of anime.

The Hyskoa vs Quwrof fight should come near the end of the next cour, but with basically no action and all set-up before that point, I would hope they would bring it back for at least two or three. Granted, there's not really any good stopping place after the ship sets sail, but the alternative is to wait for Togashi to finish the arc.

[up]Absolutely hilarious that Togashi's nonsense romanizations are the one thing you don't prefer the localized names for.

Oh, I prefer the localized names, Hisoka and Chrollo actually make goddamn sense. I just find it hilarious that that official promotional video used Togashi's ridiculous Engrish for their title.

I genuinly think Togashi was trolling with those romanizations. There is just no reasonable way one could get them from the Japanese spellings of the names.

Or maybe he thinks it sounds more exotic this way haha

Hey, turns out this hiatus isn't going to be anywhere near as long as the last one! Togashi has finished chapter 401.

I think it looks like we'll get another batch of chapters sometime this year.

HXH was officially delisted as a serilized work in WSJ, so I'm assuming these chapters will likely release on Jump+.

In any case, glad that he seems to be doing alright.

That’s great news. Since it also implies Togashi has been feeling better.

So, decided I'd been putting off reading this manga for long enough. Was torn between either starting on this or YuYu Hakusho, but I figured eh, I've been seeing Hunter x Hunter brought up a lot more lately, so I might as well get in on it.

I read Volume 1 and dang, this is looking pretty fun. Already enjoying the characters. Gon is adorable, really liking the dynamic between Kurapika and Leorio, and I'm kind of intrigued by Killua. I was half-expecting the stereotypical shonen rival with him, but he just seems like a normal kid with a dark side. I also like how they just jump right into the action, like fuck it, we're going straight into this fucking exam, no questions. Definitely gonna let this one simmer a little so I can see where it leads. I've heard it goes into some dark places, so I'm looking forward to that.

One thing about Hunter x Hunter is that it subverts or plays with stereotypes every chance it gets.
