Seems after the nearly 20 page hype over the series starting again its starting to die down. Any other thoughts, before this thread dies for a month?
I stopped reading about a week ago, school started so I don't have much time. I'll find time eventually though.
Hunter x Hunter

We can always…..revive it.
No reason to force discussion.
-
So, what now? :o
It's been a year since the last chapter, of course there won't be that much to discuss huh.I so wanna reread it~ But I don't wanna do that too soon~ Darn~~
All I can do is continue making up abilities/tying other series' abilities to nen [which kinda rocks so far] but you somehow.. uh.. running out of those after 153.
I'm so fucking bored. -
Same, I sort of wish that it was revealed in late september that HXH would be coming back, not as much anticipation.
-
I'm gonna wait until there is a date set in stone before I start re-reading.
-
Yeah, hopefully it isn't late October… or... october 2008. O.o
-
Nono, it should be 07. Don't scare me.
Late Oct wouldn't be that different from early. At least, Jump shouldn't be stupid enough to not know how angry the fans are and actually put it on the last week.
Plus 2 OP anime events are gonna happen in Oct too [late Sept, whatever]. So that's also helping.But you know, what are the chances the chapter leaks something like a.. week, before the actual release? I mean, Jump probably has it right now. So, there's the chance someone can leak it outside any time.

Volume 24 comes out the 4th and chapter 261 comes out the 6th.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK WIN
-
Yes, I knew they 24 would be announced soon after the announcement of the series return to Jump. Can't wait to see the latest chapters with the polished art.
-
I love you guys.
This is such a fucking good day.
-
HAHA, it comes back on my birthday.
Best present I'll probably get this year.
This made my otherwise REALLY shitty day actually.
Time to start that re-read.
-
You know what's amazing in a creepy way?
They actually reused drawings from the manga in that pic. -
Are you thinking it's fake?
They do that alot for black and white announcements.
-
Fantastic! October 6th is great! Not too late not too early. Perfect! I'm looking forward to this. Only about 36 more days.
-
Are you thinking it's fake?
They do that alot for black and white announcements.
Didn't think it's fake, only just.. did Togashi actually give them something to get up with or just sent some fax "HxH is coming back prepare some printers bye" thing?
But if they do it alot in those announcements then nvm. What a relief.
-
Quick question, in terms of tankobons, how far is the Japanese release? Like up to volume 20, 30 that sort of thing?
-
Read the page just before this one.. didn't Taleran said V24 will be released in Oct?
-
'K thanks.
At the rate its going, it looks like the English volumes may end up catching up to the Japanese.
-
Oct. 6, FUCK YEAH!
-
Wow. First going to see my Girlfriend, then a new Hellsing OVA, and now the return of HunterxHunter?
It's official, October is now going to be renamed 'Epictober'.

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d114/taleran/HxH/HunterXHunter229-p13.pngwhy are they so awesome, I love how clear the remastered volume art is
Did they translate the remastered art for volume 18 and 19?
-
I picked up volume 16 in English. Man, I forgot how good it was. I love collecting a series I really like. Its just nice to see how many volumes you have already.
Anybody else get volume 16 yet?
EDIT : Just finished up to the end of Volume 24. I forgot about intense the end of the last chapter was. And hopefully I shouldn't forget much by a month. MAN I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL ITS BACK!
-
@Radical:
Did they translate the remastered art for volume 18 and 19?
I don't believe so
-
I own all 16 volumes. I can only find up to chapter 19* on OneManga, so does anybody know where I can find the rest?
-
Check the pinned thread. or the past 3-5 pages of this topic.
I think that's like the 3rd time that's been asked this month, which is alot considering this is a message board and posts in this topic aren't that frequent.
-
Togashi, it's about damn time. Stick to the series now. PLEASE.
-
Nah, I think it's already confirmed we are only getting the chapters "he's prepared".
So he's not really even back really. He's just sent in the shit he threw together while playing PSP on the beach with his wife.
-
Tony, he had a back condition. And even if he was slacking off a lot of the time, its his choice whether he wants to continue the series.
-
Does that mean we have to say "ok, well thanks for your hard work, see you next time you do something and quit midway"?
-

please…don't try to defend togashi.Sending chapters out like this alone makes him an asshole(even if he does fixes it later)
!
thank goodness the story is great (at times)
-
Im ok with that, since he doesn't have assistants and the art was never really what drew me to the series.(I remember not really minding the art at all on my first read through)
I just want some kind of consistency with releases. Even if he moves to a monthly magazine or something. Just no un-announced two year breaks.
and I really don't care to make excuses for him at this point. I mean everyone else can do it, why can't he? At least when he takes breaks, give some news that you are still working on chapters and will released chapter periodically until it's conclusion.
I'd take back my words if he was being threatened by the mafia and couldn't say anything or else they'd kill his sailor moon wife, but I'm not ready to make assumptions like that.
-

Should we think "What an asshole, he should keep working, screw his back condition, i wanna read comiczz!!!"
-
No, but I never commented on anyone's opinion of the situation.
and how severe was this back condition that he couldn't give some sort of message to his fans letting people know what status Hunter was in(If he would continue or not would be nice)
Unless he was bedridden for 2 years, there's really no excuse why he had NO interaction with his fans.
I mean yea, at the end these are just comics to us, yes, but it's his job, and I'm sorry but the 2 year hiatus seemed really unprofessional in the way it was handled.
-
back condition? this is the first time I'm hearing about this.Is this official or are you spewing bullshit?
doesn't togashi have a history of just taken long period breaks for no reason even from his yuyu hakusho days?
-
Nah, I read somewhere he had a back condition a while ago. he didn't just take a break, it was some medical condition.
Anyhoo, can we just let this thread die until
A. More news on the return
B. Its back?Cuz this is just forced conversation…
-
Honestly, no one even knows if the guy doesn't work without assistants, and we don't know if his back was hurt.
The fact that he is treated so well within the company for his subpar output is ridiculous.
-
To be fair Carter, HxH is really good (storywise and occasionally artwise)
But yeah, he seems to have waaaayyyyy more pull than any other mangaka on Jump. Most likely because of YYH or some other reason.
-
Part of it is that (from what I heard), HXH was actually one of the most successful series in the magazine (while it was active).
-
If I remember correctley, HxH tanks tended to outsell nearly everything when it comes out, so it was indeed huge for Jump and Togashi.
-
I don't know how I overlooked that, I do remember hearing that HxH was extremely popular so that is indeed the other half of what possibly is responsible for Togashi's red carpet treatment.
On another note, how do you guys think the next tanko will do?
-

Hotcakes. Flying off shelves. etc..
You know, all that fun stuff.
-
I hope HxH does sell like hotcakes. It'd light a fire under the so called shonen trinity which might force them to kick it up a notch. Which equals better products in the long run (hopefully).
-
Not really.
I don't think Hunter x hunter's sales will detract from anyone elses.
I mean people who don't like hunter, won't have their minds changed, and those who do, won't stop liking the other series.
So I don't see how the sales of another series that was known to be doing really well, would effect the morale of the other mangakas.
and I think naruto still out sold it.
-

I know I'll order when it comes out.
That reminds me, does anyone know where I can buy volume 20? I've been looking all over and have yeilded no results.
-
Hotcakes indeed.
The fact he took such a long hiatus, and that so many people are buying them because there fans, other people are going to think, whats the big deal? I think the fact that he's back will rake in even more fans then he's ever had before. -
total number of sales, hunter x hunter is behind naruto but the average number of each volume sold is higher than naruto, so if they had the same number of volumes out then HxH would have sold more. in individual volume sales HxH is second only to one piece.
-
YOu sure?
I'm pretty sure Naruto Tanks sold more. it was always back and forth and marginally close though.
but yea, One piece and Hunter are the only ones I'd ever buy though.
-
thats actually true I believe the Japanese fans loved HxH aswell
-
I just watched the first ep of this. Does not seem like anything special. When does it start picking up pace?
-
The show starts to pick up on episode 4 I think .
Cuz episode 2 & 3 are just on the boat, which I didn't really find that interesting .But as soon as they begin the Hunter Exam, it gets good. :)
I haven't watched this in a while .
