According to Crunchyroll, the publisher has teased the manga series' return last week. The series' total print run has reached 66 million copies, with 32 tankobon volumes.
The Bitbag noted that fans may no longer be excited over the "Hunter x Hunter" manga's return with all those years of waiting. There is little hype about the series' continuation and this doesn't seem to bode well for Togashi.
"Exactly my thoughts this isn't even news," Redditor YouAreDeadHS wrote. There are some who are thrilled with the announcement, though. "Hey! We're all excited here, all news is good news in my opinion," Reddit user icebrotha commented.
RocketNews24 added that 2015 was "a disappointing year" for fans since there was not a single manga that was published in the year. This marked the end of Yoshihiro Togashi's 25-year record.
