Hunter × Hunter (ハンター×ハンター, Hantā Hantā), pronounced "Hunter Hunter", is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi. It has been serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine since March 16, 1998, although the manga has frequently gone on extended hiatuses since 2006. As of November 2019, 392 chapters have been collected into 37 tankōbon volumes (chapter collections) by Shueisha in Japan. The story focuses on a young boy named Gon Freecss, who discovers that his father, who he was told had left him at a young age, is actually a world renowned Hunter, a licensed profession for those who specialize in, but are not limited to, fantastic pursuits such as locating rare or unidentified animal species, treasure hunting, surveying unexplored enclaves, or hunting down lawless individuals. Despite being abandoned by his father, Gon departs upon a journey to follow in his footsteps, pass the rigorous Hunter Exam, and eventually find his father. Along the way, Gon meets various other Hunters, including main cast members Kurapika, Leorio, and Killua, and also encounters the paranormal. The original inspiration for the manga came from Togashi's own collecting hobby.

After a four-year hiatus, Hunter x Hunter, Yoshihiro Togashi joined Twitter on Monday and appeared to tease 4 new chapters of the series.

    I can't fucking deal with this. Everything about this school shooting is so fucked. Those poor kids. The total life ruining trauma the survivors will carry. The parents who begged the cops to do something and were punished. I'm at work and i don't know what the fuck I'm even here for. These horrible things are happening and we just have to go to work and act like everything is fine. I can't stop shaking in impotent rage and sadness. I keep having to go to the bathroom to cry because god forbid anyone acknowledge something is wrong. Fuck

      I find myself tearing up almost every private moment I have. Can't get it out of my head how much these kids look like me and my cousins and how I'm older than some of the parents. Needless to say this entire clusterfuck feels like an attack on me and mine - I can't imagine how much more of a wreck I'd be if I had actually lost someone like this.
