No, as of May 2023, Hunter X Hunter is not finished. The Hunter X Hunter fandom has much to witness in the coming years.

However, as of now, Hunter X Hunter is on an indefinite hiatus.

Why is Hunter x Hunter on hiatus?

Hunter x Hunter is a beloved manga series that has captured the hearts of fans worldwide. Its complex characters, intricate world-building, and compelling storylines have made it a favorite among anime and manga enthusiasts. However, the series has been plagued by a recurring problem that has frustrated fans for years: frequent hiatuses.

The question on everyone's minds is: why is Hunter x Hunter on hiatus, and when can the world expect to see new chapters?

The series creator, Yoshihiro Togashi, has been open about his health issues, which have been the primary reason for the hiatuses. Togashi suffers from chronic back pain, a condition that has made it difficult for him to maintain a regular schedule for drawing and writing the manga. He has also struggled with other health issues, including illness and fatigue, which have contributed to the hiatuses.

The manga industry is notoriously grueling, with tight deadlines and intense pressure to produce new content on a regular basis. Togashi's health issues have made it challenging for him to keep up with the demands of the industry, leading to long gaps between updates. While Togashi has made efforts to continue working on the series when he can, his health issues have made it impossible for him to maintain a consistent schedule.

Fans of Hunter x Hunter have been patient but are understandably frustrated by the long hiatuses. Some have speculated that Togashi's health issues are not the only reason for the delays and that there may be other factors at play. However, Togashi's health problems have been well-documented, and it is likely that they are the primary reason for the hiatuses.

Despite the challenges, Togashi has continued to work on Hunter x Hunter and new chapters have been released sporadically over the years. The series' popularity has not waned, and fans continue to eagerly await updates on its progress. However, it remains unclear when the next chapter will be released, and fans are left to wonder if the series will ever be completed.

In conclusion, the answer to why Hunter x Hunter is on hiatus is straightforward: Yoshihiro Togashi's health issues have made it challenging for him to maintain a consistent schedule. While fans eagerly await the next chapter, they understand the importance of Togashi's health and well-being. It is our hope that he can continue to work on the series when he is able and that we will eventually see the conclusion of this beloved manga.
