The announcement of the series’ return several months ago was an incredibly welcoming, exciting, and promising development. However, his health issues in his lower back area have not seen any signs of improvement in recent weeks, with some reports claiming they’ve gotten worse since resuming production. Ahead of his upcoming exhibition in October, Togashi sent out a tweet announcing his intent to hire more staff, as well as a full statement on the decision. The announcement reads as follows: "You're probably thinking, 'Go draw the next chapter already.' True, I was unable to sit in a chair for two years, which made me unable to draw, but by throwing conventional methods to the wayside, I've been able to resume drawing somehow. Everyone, I sincerely ask you to take care of your backs and hips. Just two weeks before writing this message, I couldn't get into position to wipe my butt and had to take a shower every time I pooped. It takes 3-5 times longer for me to do everyday movements. Your hips are important." sandman@sandman_AP@Un4v5s8bgsVk9Xp Translation: No. 399) Finished giving advice to my assistants about background effect. Waiting for the manuscript to come back from them.

Monday’s tweet also specified that the background effects for Chapter 399 were done, with the next issue set to begin production once Togashi submits his specifications to his team. He added that staff additions are not being done through open recruitment, likely meant to deter fans from reaching out with applications. Hunter x Hunter manga has been on an indefinite hiatus since November 2018, with the prior return date being September 2018, following yet another hiatus since April 2018. The manga had previously gone on hiatus in September 2017, returning in January 2018 before the aforementioned April 2018 hiatus. Prior to September 2017, the series had been on multiple hiatuses for several years. Follow along for more anime, manga, film, and live-action news as 2022 progresses.
