Hunter x Hunter is set to enter another hiatus after the release of Chapter 420 in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #41, scheduled for September 6, 2026. This pause follows a brief return from a previous break that began in December 2024, marking yet another interruption in the manga’s serialization.
After a hiatus lasting nearly a year, Yoshihiro Togashi resumed the series in June 2026 with Chapter 411. Since then, fans have witnessed the publication of ten consecutive chapters, reviving hopes for a longer continuous run. However, Togashi’s ongoing health concerns necessitate a cautious pacing for the manga’s release schedule, prompting this upcoming hiatus.
Progress on Future Chapters Offers Hope for a Quicker Return
Despite the announcement of another break, there is encouraging news regarding the manga’s continuation. Togashi has reportedly completed the manuscripts for three chapters beyond the upcoming hiatus—specifically, Chapters 421 through 423 are ready for publication. Furthermore, work is underway on chapters extending up to Chapter 430, though these are at varying levels of completion.
This advance preparation suggests that, while the manga is pausing once again, the interval before new chapters appear might be shorter than some of the previous lengthy breaks. Fans of Hunter x Hunter can anticipate that the creator remains actively engaged with the series, steadily progressing toward its continuation despite the necessary interruptions.
