Naturally, this sparked concerns among fans of the mangaka and his work.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On November 28, Togashi <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Un4v5s8bgsVk9Xp\/status\/1862062929174237282\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a> that he had surgery under local anesthetic but did not specify the details. He was still working on the manga though, and mentioned in his surgery post that he had completed the storyboards for two chapters.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Togashi, who also created Yu Yu Hakusho, started the Hunter x Hunter manga in 1998. However, he has taken frequent breaks due to health issues. Serialization of the manga previously went on an almost 4-year hiatus between 2018 and 2022. In November 2023, Togashi <a href=\"https:\/\/www.animenewsnetwork.com\/news\/2023-11-21\/togashi-yoshihiro-reveals-hunter-x-hunter-manga-possible-ending-in-case-he-passes-away\/.204708\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">revealed four possible endings<\/a> for the Hunter x Hunter manga on a Japanese TV program, in case he becomes unable to finish it. However, it seems that the current hiatus could be shorter than previous ones, as Togashi is still gradually storyboarding new chapters.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the serialization hiatus announced last week, Hunter x Hunter mangaka Yoshihiro Togashi has given an update on his health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":61,"featured_media":41299,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-41295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nongaming-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
