## Hunter x Hunter: Togashi Is Writing, and Here's What Comes Next
Yoshihiro Togashi's *Hunter x Hunter* has been synonymous with hiatus for much of its existence — the manga spent more time on pause than in publication between 2006 and 2022. Togashi's return in 2022, partial and health-dependent, was celebrated worldwide and has been maintained, slowly, since.
**Current publication status**
As of early 2026, Togashi has confirmed he continues to work on the Succession War arc, releasing chapters episodically as his health permits. Weekly publication is not expected; the current cadence is several chapters per month on a flexible schedule. Togashi has used social media to communicate directly with fans, posting chapter progress images and health updates that have become their own kind of event in the manga community.
**Where the story is**
The Succession War — the battle among the many princes of the Kakin Empire for the throne, conducted aboard a ship crossing the ocean toward the Dark Continent — is widely considered Togashi's most complex narrative construction. The current arc involves 14 princes, dozens of supporting characters, and multiple simultaneous plots nested inside each other. Togashi has stated he knows exactly how it ends; the challenge has always been his health allowing him to write it.
**Will there be a new anime?**
The 2011 Madhouse adaptation ended at the Chimera Ant arc, leaving the Election arc and everything after unadapted. A new anime adaptation, or continuation, has been rumored for years. No studio has officially confirmed anything. The general view in the industry is that a new adaptation announcement would follow Togashi completing the Succession War arc in manga form — giving an adaptation a clear endpoint to aim for.
**For new readers**
The 2011 anime is an exceptional entry point — 148 episodes covering everything through the Election arc, with consistent production quality. After the anime ends, the manga picks up seamlessly with the Succession War.
