There is not dead what can eternal lie, and in strange eons, even Togashi's back may be alright.

Hopefully, by the time HxH 2023 rolls around, Togashi will have released six more chapters.

I'm probably being too optimistic there. Four chapters seems like the better bet.

Also, have some alternate universe HxH fan images to tide you over.

Imagine HxH, only Gon is in his Super Gon mode. Also Meruem and Gang are there and Pitou keeps getting punched by Gon.

We know Togashi has to trump himself every time he goes on hiatus. I'm not expecting anything under three years this time.

Oh my god these are fantastic. I wish I could read more Japanese to understand it all, but thankfully I remember the series well enough to get what's going on. I think the one with Hisoka's arm is my favorite.

I don't think they can actually dump Togashi legally due to that whole hotel room thing.

I don't know what happened at the end here. But the Cheerleader Komugi and Pitou are hilarious.

Now I am just reminded that I am sad that Meruem, Komugi and the Royal Guard are dead. (Other then Pouf.)

Hotel room thing? I thought they just kept him on board since Hunter X Hunter is insanely popular.

Dude has an awesome contract, is all. Plus, HxH is popular enough that Togashi coming off hiatus probably boosts sales to a measurable degree every time. What are they really losing?

Meruem got distracted by cheerleader Komugi, or perhaps cheerleader Shaiapouf on the left, and got hit by a Jajanken.

The story I've always heard is that towards the end of YYH, Togashi's editor locked him in a hotel room to force scripts out of him or some poo poo like that. Jump gave him the most ridiculous contract of all time to keep him from leaving because he was so popular. He's always guaranteed a spot basically, no matter what he does, because of said contract.

I never get the last word, and it makes me very sad.
That hotel story sounds insanely apocryphal. I believe that he was under insane stress during Yu Yu Hakusho, enough to make him physically ill, but I doubt they actually physically locked him in a hotel room. As insane as Japan is about work, committing false imprisonment against a manga author is just too unbelievable.

If there's actual proof of that, though, it would completely justify his no fucks given attitude with HxH.

Yeah, no kidding; while I too have doubts about that story, if it is true then Togashi's absolutely justified in not giving a gently caress if he meets Jump's schedules. I mean, despite how much I love the series I was already sympathetic towards him, between his family, being ill, and all that, but dang.
