Hunter X Hunter manga returns to Weekly Shonen Jump after four years

Yoshihiro Togashi's manga last released its chapter 390 in November 2018, and since then, it has been on an extended hiatus due to manga author's health issues.

So, after his health improved, he got back into working on Hunter X Hunter. He also set up a Twitter account through which he regularly updates fans on his progress, building the hype around the series.

In his latest tweet, he updated fans that he had completed the work on chapter 396, and the corrections for chapter 397 were done. Meanwhile, chapters 398-400 are still under way. Togashi had previously commented on finishing the drafts for ten chapters, so through his tweets, it can be confirmed that he is almost done with the work till chapter 400.

This means fans can expect the Hunter x Hunter manga to be on a weekly run for at least the next ten weeks unless a break is announced.
