Hunter X Hunter Creator Shares Health Concerns Before Upcoming Project
Hunter x Hunter is set to resume publication in October 2024.
UPDATE: Yoshihiro Togashi has recently updated fans on his physical condition in a new post. The artist confirms his coloring work on Hunter x Hunter is finished, but it came at a great cost. His back pain has worsened significantly, prompting fans to urge Togashi to take a break for the sake of his health.
Hunter x Hunter has been a beloved part of Shonen Jump‘s golden age since 1998. Despite his fragile health, Togashi has yet to give up on Gon and is working hard to bring the manga back from hiatus this fall. His latest health updates have fans begging him to prioritize his well-being.
The situation came to light on social media as Togashi began coloring work on Hunter x Hunter. The manga is currently set for an October comeback, but the coloring work triggered Togashi’s back condition, leaving him in excruciating pain over the past week.
While things seemed to be looking up over the weekend after Togashi posted a hopeful health update, he revealed earlier today that his spine is feeling like a wobbly Jenga tower. He is struggling to continue with the coloring work, sparking concerns about the potential delay of the manga’s comeback.
Will Hunter x Hunter Delay Its Manga Comeback?
As Togashi’s condition flares up, it’s clear that his health is a top priority. If the comeback needs to be pushed to accommodate the artist, so be it. Nothing is more important than Togashi’s well-being.
If you’re not caught up with Hunter x Hunter ahead of its comeback, the manga is easy to find on the Shonen Jump app. You can read the synopsis below:
“Gon might be a country boy, but he has high aspirations. Despite his Aunt Mito’s protests, Gon decides to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a legendary Hunter. The Hunter hopefuls begin their journey by storm-tossed ship, where Gon meets Leorio and Kurapika, the only other applicants who aren’t devastated by bouts of seasickness. Having survived the terrors of the high seas, Gon and his companions now have to prove their worth in a variety of tests in order to find the elusive Exam Hall. And once they get there, will they ever leave alive…?”
