Hunter x Hunter: Fanbase worried over mangaka's health upon reading his latest tweet

Fans know that Togashi sensei has not been in his best shape, and being a mangaka certainly got in the way of his health. Even though the fanbase has been anxiously waiting for another chapter to be released, they've been saying that he needs to take care of himself and that his health is the fanbase's top priority.

Togashi sensei recently uploaded a tweet, and its translation stated that his health hasn't improved and that he will be spending more time taking care of his health. At the same time, he even mentioned advising his assistants on how to draw some of the background effects that will be featured in the upcoming chapters.

Fans were quite concerned and wished the mangaka a speedy recovery. They wanted to remind the mangaka that his health was more important and that they would patiently wait for the upcoming chapters.

Naturally, the entire fanbase was sad to hear this news because they wanted him to complete the series at a pace that he is comfortable with. But it's safe to say it will take a while before Hunter x Hunter resumes.

Some fans uploaded sketches of their favorite characters from Hunter x Hunter and hoped the mangaka would eventually get better. Some fans went on to sympathize with Togashi sensei's health issues.

One fan acknowledged that the Hunter x Hunter mangaka is putting his life on the line to complete his work. It's pretty clear that the entire community is rattled by the recent tweet that the mangaka uploaded.

It is difficult to predict when the series' next chapter will come out since the mangaka's health is not in great shape. But fans can expect another chapter to be released sometime in 2023 once the mangaka's health conditions improve. However, we urge the fanbase to patiently wait for the official sources to confirm the release date for the upcoming chapter of the manga.
