Author Yoshihiro Togashi has created legendary manga series like Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter x Hunter, and his recent social media posts have given fans of both stories reason to get excited.

These franchises have seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years, and newer fans who have followed Togashi's action-packed yet emotionally complex stories have been treated to some interesting updates, including news about the return of Hunter x Hunter and an updated look at the Yu Yu Hakusho manga.

The Yu Yu Hakusho story concluded in the early 1990s, but it has continued to grow in popularity, thanks in part to its incredible anime series. Togashi began releasing the Hunter x Hunter manga years later, and despite several hiatuses, it is set to continue soon.

The author's health has prevented him from releasing chapters consistently, but a series of positive updates from Togashi's X account shows that fans have a lot to look forward to.

As in the past, Togashi's X account has been sharing updates on the progress of new Hunter x Hunter chapters. He posts photos of the page numbers of new chapters, suggesting that he is in better health. Almost every day in July 2024, he has been posting images showing the progress of upcoming chapters and some newly colored artwork from Hunter x Hunter and Yu Yu Hakusho.

Hunter x Hunter's Togashi Teases New Chapters, Reflects on Yu Yu Hakusho Amid Health Improvements

Creating manga is a very demanding career, especially for those who publish series weekly in Shōnen Jump. Hunter x Hunter released chapters weekly for many of its early years, but since 2006, it has been released sporadically, with gaps lasting over a year at times.

Serious and chronic back problems have been the main reason for Togashi's hiatuses. However, the many updates on his social media account show that he is feeling well enough to treat his fans in various ways.

In addition to promising developments for new Hunter x Hunter chapters, Togashi has also been posting redesigned and recolored characters and artwork from Yu Yu Hakusho. While it may be too optimistic to expect new Yu Yu Hakusho content, it's good to know that this beloved series is on Togashi's mind as he works on new Hunter x Hunter chapters.

Yu Yu Hakusho has gained more fans since the anime concluded, thanks to its availability on popular streaming platforms and the success of Netflix's live-action adaptation. Compared to Hunter x Hunter, Yu Yu Hakusho lacks the complex power systems and deep messages of Togashi's last series.

As Togashi continues to develop the world of Hunter x Hunter, it's good to know that his health allows him the time and energy to revisit Yu Yu Hakusho, a series that remains cherished by many longtime fans.
