The consistent quality of this work is a work in itself :tup:

I read scanlations mostly, have they released Vol. 26 in Japan yet? If so I hope NexGen are still scanlating it.

Vol 26 comes out when the new chapters start(October 6th)

Pretty much thatā€™s his schedule. They release a new volume, he submits a volume of material for the magazine

I see, so itā€™s pretty likely that itā€™ll go on a break again. Iā€™m all caught up now, I just hope he can finish this arc(as good as it isā€¦) in the next vol or two. As for the narrative itā€™s taken, I think it fits for this event, Iā€™m sure itā€™ll go back to normal after Itā€™s all over.

Iā€™m hoping thereā€™s a time skip, or at least some considerable growing up for Gon & Killua. At this rate, theyā€™ll be stronger than Netero by age 13 :lol: Either way, this manga puts other shounen to shame.

They redo the volumes themselves with some artists when the volumes come out. Togashi is lazyā€¦

Nope they just ink over it.
Togashi isnā€™t lazy, he is ill. Though the recent chapters had some very good art in them not like his older ones.

So the guy is on his death bed pumping out chapters?

Dunno bout ā€˜death bedā€™ though I find that a very insulting comment on the guy. At least he doesnā€™t take 6 month breaks between chapters like a certain mangaka

no he takes years off. and death bed isnt insulting considering how good he draws and then he started drawing like he was 5 years oldā€¦you donā€™t change that drastically unless something is seriously wrong.

i mean even oh-great let his assistants take over tenjou tengeā€¦art suffered but no where near hunter x hunter did.

Either heā€™s really sick, or has some other personal problems going on or just straight up lazy(doubt its the latter). AFAIK nothing has really been mentioned after that sick leave so yeah.

Some of the chapters were straight up doodles, doodles which managed to be more entertaining than any other currently running series of the shounen demographic . The art is back on track, well it has been for a while now.

I believe a reason Togashi doesnā€™t hire any assistants to draw in his stead is prob. because only he can draw out how stuff should progress in a chapter.

he is lazy, he laughs about it and everyone knows it. enjoy your 2 chapters decade.

Stop being an asshole, if anything heā€™s probably taking these breaks to think up better ways to tie in and advance the story.
ā€¦and really though I donā€™t care much for these breaks its not like this is the ONE manga I dedicate my reading time to :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh and Biscuit=sex.

Togashi doesnā€™t use assistants because shonen jump editors fucked around with his last manga (Yuyu) and messed it up, so his terms now are basically he can do what he wants.

Chapter 281 is now out :tup::tup:

Killua!

[details=Spoiler] Killua is fast as shit, canā€™t wait to see how those other ā€œexperimentalā€ moves he came up with actually work. It was astounding seeing Yupi in utter despair, raw power certainly isnā€™t the end of all things. I love how complex the technique/nen/fighting world in HxH is, definitely the best in any shounen Iā€™ve ever read.

Now Iā€™m wondering how Gon plans on taking on Pitou. That whole scene with Pitou trying his best to protect Komugi was amazingly well done. One of the most moving scenes for sure. You could really feel Gonā€™s sheer anger and Pitouā€™s helplessness.

Pretty good chapter, but still nothing was really done.[/details]

9 more chapters before another Hiatus, hopefully heā€™ll wrap a good amount of things up by then.

Yupi isnā€™t in despair at all. He seems to be having fun. His thought on this fight is "

Man, this is interesting. I think Iā€™m going to fuck around with this guy before I explode and kill him."

I wondering how shit will turn out with Smokeā€¦

For a moment he was, he could do nothing but stand there like a punching bag against Killua, I donā€™t think he took those hits just because he was interested.
