Hunter x Hunter Creator Togashi Halts Deadline Work Due to Health

Yoshihiro Togashi, the creator of the manga series Hunter x Hunter, has announced that he will cease accepting all new work assignments that carry strict deadlines. The author shared this update on his official X account, citing ongoing physical and mental health challenges as the primary reason for the change in his professional schedule.

Togashi clarified that once he completes his currently committed projects, he will decline future requests for commemorative illustrations, color artwork, and promotional materials. This decision is intended to allow him to focus exclusively on creating manuscripts for Hunter x Hunter without the pressure of external time constraints. He stated that he will provide further updates regarding the status of the manga when he is able to resume active production.

The manga recently returned from a lengthy hiatus in June 2026, publishing ten chapters before pausing again in early September. Reports indicate that Togashi has already finished manuscripts through Chapter 428, suggesting that new content may be released in the near future as he prioritizes the series' continuity.

Anime News Network reported on October 5 that Togashi would limit work due to health concerns.
