A recent social media post by Hunter x Hunter creator Yoshihiro Togashi has got fans of the manga concerned for his health. This comes as the first new Hunter x Hunter chapter in over a year was announced<\/a> for the October 7 edition of Weekly Shonen Jump. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Posting on X<\/a> on the evening of September 2, Togashi reports that he resumed coloring while \u201cfeeling like the bones around my spine are going to collapse like a late-stage game of Jenga.\u201d He described this as a \u201clower back pain high\u201d and asked readers to stay tuned for tomorrow\u2019s post to find out whether he completed the work, or his back gave out first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The post prompted a barrage of concerned responses, with many people urging the mangaka to take a rest and not to push himself too hard.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Togashi started the Hunter x Hunter manga in 1998, however due to health issues, he has\u00a0taken frequent breaks from creating it. Serialization of the manga previously went on a hiatus of almost 4 years between 2018 and 2022. In November 2023, Togashi revealed four possible endings<\/a> for the Hunter x Hunter manga on a Japanese TV program, stating that one of them could be considered a canon ending in case he passes away before finishing it. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Against this background, fans were understandably worried for the manga artist considering his latest post. Hopefully, Togashi won\u2019t overdo it and will be feeling better soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
