In related news, the frustrated fans of Yoshihiro Tagashi’s popular-but-frequently-on-hiatus manga Hunter x Hunter, have created a website that tracks and organizes the information related to the publication for the series and its abundance hiatuses.
The website tracks exactly which issues of Sheisha’s Weekly Shounen Jump include a chapter of Hunter x Hunter since the series began serialization in 1998, but also includes data about the current publication status and statistics exploring the lengths of carious hiatuses over the years.
Hunter x Hunter is a manga series by Yoshihiro Togashi. The series started in 1998 and is published in Shueisha’s weekly Shonen Jump Magazine. To date the series has a total of 32 volumes. Yoshihiro Togashi placed the manga on hiatus in March 2012 after setting the record for longest run without breaks, without any news of when the manga will return. The series received an anime adaptation in 1999 from Nippon Animation that ended in 2001, followed by a series of OVAs. A new animated series relaunched in 2011 from Madhouse, retelling the series from the start. Madhouse also produced two animated films, which released in 2013. There has also been two musicals based on the series, and a slew of video games have been released from Konami and Bandai Namco.
