ACTUALLY IT IS VERY GOOD THAT THE SHOW IS BAD AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T REALIZE WHY THAT'S GOOD IS AN IDIOT. JUST ENJOY THE BAD SHOW INSTEAD OF THINKING.
Not sure exactly when, apparently it just says to check the March 19th (Sat) release of Weekly Shonen Jump #16 for "details" whatever that means.

The details will be a reveal of an additional hiatus which in fact extends backwards, retroactively erasing issues of the manga.

What a time to be alive... The Dark Continent arc promises to be the most epic of all epics. A level beyond epic... I will wait. As long as it takes.

I'm gonna laugh if Togashi motivates himself to just write enough chapters to get a new volume and then peaces out again.

There's no way in hell this will be more than eight chapters before a two years break, minimum.

I'm half positive that was his plan till he was struck by illness back in 2014. A lot of his breaks before that were more scheduled and always came out with a specific number of chapters. 2014 was abrupt though and came up short of that number.

No one knows for certain what his deal is because it has never been publicized. Just lots and lots of speculation repeated as facts.

HxH was created through nen, but the conditions Togashi put on himself had a great drawback: Should they be violated, the entire work would cease to be. With this latest hiatus he was unable to meet the conditions and now his creation, along with his success, shall be undone.

Like this reads like the editors were caught off guard about it too, since it has no set idea if they're coming back or not.

At least it's a confirmation that illness of some sort is involved; it's not just Togashi playing Dragon Quest like people say.

Yeah, and I remember some article about the editor promising some huge shocking moment coming up and we certainly never got that. Plus Togashi has been releasing the chapters in intervals of ten since 2007 to at least pump out a few volumes every once in a while, which leads me to believe the previous hiatus happened even sooner than they would have liked.

What exactly prevents mangakas from just writing the script (or whatever it's called) and handing it to their assistants to draw? Like, you don't need to kill yourself working 16 hours a day on your weekly series when you have a smash hit. Specially if you're not Miura or somebody with exceptional art.

First I hear that Beet the Vandel Buster is coming back after almost a decade, and now HxH is coming back on an arc I'm still hyped for? 2016 is turning out to be a great year.

You know who has a loving ridiculous Nen ability? Morel. His ability can do at least all of the following:

1. Create literally hundreds of Nen dolls that can be given somewhat commands (with increasing complexity and capabilities with fewer dolls)
2. Create unbreakable smoke constructs, including...
3. An invulnerable, unbreakable smoke enclosure
4. Change the appearance of said smoke constructs and dolls to the point where it's apparently not possible to tell the difference at a glance, like when he made his dolls look like Knuckle or his smoke look like grass
5. Create a smokescreen

And all of this without any real restrictions other than needing to use his giant pipe. It's probably one of the only Nen abilities that just seems flat out superior to a bunch of other similar abilities. Any one of its capabilities (except for maybe the smokescreen) would entirely suffice as a good Nen ability by itself.
