The renowned mangaka Yoshihiro Togashicreator of the popular series “HUNTER x HUNTER“, left his fans in suspense once again after sharing a worrying update about his health. On his official Twitter account, the author wrote: «My back hasn't been feeling well the last few days.». This message generated a wave of concern among his followers, who fear that the series could again go on long-term suspension.

“HUNTER x HUNTER” is one of the most beloved and popular works of manga, but its serialization has been marked by long hiccups due to Togashi’s health problems. Since the publication of Chapter 400 in December 2022, there have been no new chapters, and although the author has promised on several occasions that “something new will be published soon”Progress has been extremely slow. This situation has led fans to question whether the series will be able to continue or whether it will face another indefinite hiatus.

The critical situation of “HUNTER x HUNTER” is largely due to Togashi’s physical conditionwho has struggled for years with chronic back problems that have hampered his ability to work regularly. The question many ask is: Shouldn't assistants be present to help in these cases? In the manga industry, it is common for authors to have a team of assistants who support them in creating the manga, performing tasks such as inking or drawing backgrounds. However, it seems that Togashi, known for being a perfectionist, prefers to work alone on many parts of the process, which could explain the lack of significant progress.

Despite the challenges, the popularity of “HUNTER x HUNTER” has not diminished. Fans from all over the world continue to support the work and await new chapters, despite repeated breaks. However, Togashi's recent update has renewed fears that the series could be left unfinished, something that would be devastating for fans who have followed the story of Gon Freecss and his friends since its beginning in 1998.

For now, fans can only hope that Togashi's health improves and that the author can resume his work without any major complications. Uncertainty over the future of “HUNTER x HUNTER” continuesbut the hope of seeing the conclusion of this epic story remains alive among its loyal community of followers.
