What happened between him and his editor concerning YYH?
Disagreements about what he could do, shouldnât do, etc, etc, what direction to take his series. Just general editor stuff. He got so pissed that he wrapped the series up and walked, which is why the ending is so bad.
At least that is what the stories say.
Now he gets away with shit no one else can, like those pages of huge censor blocks from detailed gore, the sex-toys lying on that bed, and the publication of his sketches. Apparently he gets paid more than anyone else at jump as well (per-page for publication, not the percentage of each volume sale-- where Oda and Kishimoto probably kill him (but he is apparently buds with Kishimoto, lol)) and his ridiculous breaks.
Ah okay.
When you put it that way, itâs kind of funny that we still read his stuff. Something about the way he presents stories makes them irresistible.
Iâm just gonna chalk it up to Editorâs not treating him properly and him having some difficulty of planning how the story would go. That and/or marriage life
I find it a bit difficult to see him being âlazyâ when other authors make just as much or more and are still releasing their work on a regular basis.
There were other series that got long hiatus before continuing their publication like Bastard! IIRC.
Anyways, Iâll just catch up on June/July with HxH
Bastard! is a joke series. He started taking reader suggestions for the plot because he ran out of ideas on his own.
Anyway, I donât know what is up with Netero and this fight. His power is SO FUCKING STRONG, but he isnât doing any damage with it. Any. At all. And following shonen rules, he is giving up all of his strategy and plans and shit first-- which doesnât bode well for him. That in addition to him having no back-up on the way, as well as the King not doing shit besides rushing inâŚ
I really like Netero, and I really hate the King. I donât want this to go down the only way I see it going down.
Also, wtf is this arc about? Gon and Killua arenât taking part in most of it, so much has just been focused on the King and his bugs.
I agree with you. Fuck the bugs.
Btw, is that why he has been lazy with the drawings? He just doesnât care anymore?
As my understanding, HxH is a one-man show. Story, dialogue, art, backgrounds, inking, effects, panelling-- all Togashi because he doesnât want assistants for some reason. The art was terrible during that period because he was doing it on his own, and he was probably spending more time with his kid or his wife or something then. The art was fixed in the tankubon scans-- but you should blame the editor more for publishing the sketches than you can Togashi for drawing them.
IMO, Togashi is one of the best artists in jump in terms of raw ability. You can see his sketches in the tank scans as portraits, and as some random covers. Iâd say the only one on par or better than him would be the guy that does Bakuman/Death Note/Blue Dragon.
I know I seem to be flip-flopping between lambasting him and defending him, but I respect him for his work and honestly, I just wish it would come out faster.
New chapter is out: http://mangastream.com/read/hunter_x_hunter/293-34/1
Break from Netero and the King. Havenât seen Palm in forever so I was confused about what happened. Did she turn into ant? A black widow ant⌠Well anyway, sheâs on some Carrie shit now.
More like some Bayonetta shit.
Another weird chapter in what is a weird arc.
Is it wrong that I find Black Widow Palm extremely attractive?
Also, I wonder what will happen to Pufuâs Beezelbub technique if Knuckle beats the shell of him thatâs there.
Took me some time to catch up with the series but it was well worth it.
i just wish the author wasnât so lazy

Read the chap today and I kinda had to chuckle at Killuaâs line âHe probably couldnât take it. Thereâs no room for anything else in his heart!â, thatâs awfully funny acting like Gon/Palm are lovers seeing as how she dumped him without him knowing right after their date.
Damn this arc is long, but the fights are tight. The whole fight with the king and Netero with the Shougi parallels is just really well done.
[spoilers]Knuckles about to rumble with Pafufu? Why do i have the feeling heâs going to win?
So, it would appear that the latest chapter is up on Onemanga. I want to see how Mangastream translates it, though, considering that Iâm a bit confused on something.
Reinforcement/Enhancer
[details=Spoiler]God damn. Iâm really like Palmâs Black Widow Hatsu. Itâs funny that for as simple as Enhancement Nen seems like it would be, itâs really damned effective and pretty versatile.
It seems like the more I think about, the only suck-y type is Emission (at least when it comes to Hatsu, since even the most basic Emission would likely require some Manipulation type Nen).
Sigh. Iâd probably get stuck with EmissionâŚ[/details]
Years later, still hating on emission?
I should go through the hunterâs manual and see who has emission type, and throw that back in your face.
And this may be the only translation of hxh-- I think the guy that does the other one retired because he was doing too many series at the same time.
I think the only people who are Emission are Lazer/Razor (whoâs obviously hella strong anyway and his Devil things required way more Manipulation than Emission considering how fast they weâre moving), I think that sound guy of the Phantom Troupe (and his just came from above as far as I could tell) and maybe Pokle (whoâs dead).
Speaking of Pokle, I forgot to mention that I find it kind of hilarious that ânicestâ of the three royal guardian ants, Pitou, seems to have done the most damage out of all of them.
Sound guy of the Phantom troupe? I think youâre getting your characters mixed up.
Franklin is the emission-type (bullets) in the Genei Ryodan.
Sound guy is that gopher looking person whoâs with Kurapika (who I miss seeing in action).
Edit: Okay I was reading some old chapters and came across this page: http://www.onemanga.com/Hunter_X_Hunter/225/06/
Forgot this guy even existed lol.
Oh, heh, I completely forgot about the both Franklin (probably because his power is boring as hell, which is really my problem with Emissionâby itself it doesnât seem like it can be used for anything really interesting unlike the other five types by themselves) and Melody (whose a woman), though the later probably has the most interesting type of Emission-based power now that Iâm thinking about it.
Anyway, within the Genei Ryodan, I was talking about Mummy-Boxer-looking guy with holes in his body that make sound. Iâm pretty sure heâs Emission too.
I think itâs only those six (well, five, since Pokle died), though thatâs more than the amount of Transmuting-types. (I canât think of anyone off besides Killua, Hisoka and IIRC Bisque.)

Shitty fucking ant arc! SHITTY SHITTY ARC!
Goddamn, I forgot how good this manga is supposed to be.
