HUNTER X HUNTER is a series that lives in a state of perpetual on again/off again hiatus. Given Yoshihiro Togashi's well documented back pain and health issues fans have come to be very understanding of the delays. That doesn't stop the entire fanbase from getting excited anytime he shared an update on his official X account, which exists mostly for just that purpose.

Today was a day of such excitement as he shared an update for the first time since December 2024, marking the completion of the background specifications for chapter 413. While this doesn't give us an idea of when the chapter will actually drop, it's still a cause for celebration as we know something is on the way.
