Shueisha announced on Tuesday that Yoshihiro Togashi's Hunter X Hunter manga will return after a nearly four-year hiatus in this year's 47th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine on October 24 (JST). The manga has been on hiatus since November 2018, and will have been on hiatus for three years and 11 months when it resumes.
In addition, Viz Media announced that it will simulpub the new chapters in its English edition of Shonen Jump on October 23 (EDT), and has added the previous chapters of the manga to the magazine's digital vault.
Shueisha also previewed the cover (seen right) of the manga's upcoming 37th compiled book volume, the manga's first volume after four years. The volume will ship on November 4. The manga currently has 10 chapters (381-390) that have not yet been published in a compiled book volume.
Togashi commented in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in May that he had finished the rough drafts for 10 chapters, which is the typical amount for a volume. At that time, he had teased that he had finished seven (six at first) manuscripts out of those 10 chapters. He has since continued updating the account with teases of the chapters' progress. He did not reveal when the chapters would debut.
The manga returned from a previous hiatus in September 2018 after going on hiatus in April 2018. The manga previously went on hiatus in September 2017, and Togashi announced at the time that he planned to resume the series before the end of the year. The manga then resumed in January 2018. The manga had gone on other numerous hiatuses prior to these.
