What is author Yoshihiro Togashi thinking? First, in this year’s 13th issue of Young Animal magazine, published on June 24, the serialization of “Berserk” resumed., a landmark of dark fantasy, which has sold a total of 50 million copies worldwide. The series had been on hiatus since the death of its author, Kentaro Miura, in May last year, but has been brought back to life with the help of manga artist Kouji Mori, a close ally of the author.».
«The drawings are made by Studio Gaga, to which Mr. Miura’s apprentice belongs, and are of such quality that they are close to the original. A total of six episodes are scheduled to be released in the future until the completion of the “Fantasy Arc/Elves Island Arc”. Also, in this year’s 8th issue of Monthly Afternoon magazine, serialization of Haruko Ichikawa’s Houseki no Kuni (Land of the Lustrous) resumed. The work was a success that also became an animated series for television, but it was put on hiatus since December 2020. His return to the magazine was the first time in a year and eight months.».
«“Berserk” and “Houseki no Kuni” are two very popular manga that fans have been waiting for to resume serialization. Naturally, there was an outpouring of joy on social media and elsewhere, but then the name of Weekly Shonen Jump’s “long-suspended manga” was mentioned for reference. Needless to say, they were talking regarding “HUNTER x HUNTER”».
«Countless fans await the resumption of this work with comments such as: “The world moves on, with Houseki no Kuni and Berserk resuming serialization. And then there is HUNTER x HUNTER…“; “I think HUNTER x HUNTER might be next“; “Berserk and Houseki no Kuni have returned to the market, will that manga that we all know continue?“».
«“HUNTER x HUNTER” has been suspended for regarding three and a half years now, since November 2018, and continues to break his embarrassing personal record for “longest suspension.” However, this does not mean that there has been no news: in May this year, the author Yoshihiro Togashi suddenly opened a Twitter account. He’s posted a countdown message with an image of a manuscript with numbers written on it, so it looks like he’s on his way to picking up the series, but we can’t let our guard down just yet. In addition, there are many other works, such as “Terra Formars” and “Kenka Kagyou”, for which manga lovers are eagerly awaiting their resumption. Hopefully the wave of recent restarts will have a positive impact».
