Hunter x Hunter creator Yoshihiro Togashi has finally confirmed the status of chapter 400 to his fans through his Twitter account.

While he previously updated that chapters 398-400 were up for semi-digitalization, he now confirmed them to have been completed.

Hunter x Hunter was previously on a long hiatus after manga author Togashi took a break due to his persistent health problems. However, after nearly four years, the mangaka is back as he has been creating chapter after chapter, all the while updating the fans about the same.

Hunter x Hunter manga author Yoshihiro Togashi confirmed to his followers on Twitter that the work on chapter 400 was completed.

Previously, Togashi was seen complaining about the semi-digitalization process of the subdivision as it wasted too much copy paper and increased office work by five times. It seems like the problem remained persistent as the whole process, according to him, was a complete failure as too much time was spent outside drawing.

However, it seems like, given the mangaka's long hiatus, he is trying to experiment with new technologies and ways to streamline the process for easier workflow, which is a good thing. But it may take some time before Togashi finally finds something that works best for him.

Given how the manga author is trying to work well ahead of time, having already completed the work on chapter 400 while only chapter 395 has come out recently, it seems like Togashi is not planning to go on a hiatus anytime soon.
