Hunter x Hunter Creator Becomes Most Followed Manga Artist

Hunter x Hunter fans have been beaming since it was revealed earlier this week that creator Toshihiro Yogashi was slated to return to the world of Gon and his fellow hunters since the series went on hiatus in 2018. With the longest hiatus of the series set to come to an end, excitement in the anime community is evident as the mangaka who created the manga has officially become the most followed manga creator in the industry, surpassing some major movers and shakers within the Shonen world.       

The previous mangaka who had the most followers was Kohei Horikoshi, the creator of My Hero Academia who routinely shares new artwork of his heroes and villains that emerged from the universe of UA Academy. With Horikoshi set to bring the story of Deku and his fellow heroes of Class 1-A to a close as the final arc takes place in the pages of the Shonen's manga, Togashi has yet to reveal whether or not these upcoming chapters might be Hunter x Hunter's last, with fans crossing their fingers that there are far more adventures of Gon and his friends coming.

Currently, Yoshihiro Togashi's Twitter Account has around 2.3 million followers, surpassing Kohei Horikoshi's Twitter which stands at 2.1 million, proving just how popular Hunter x Hunter has become as a Shonen series and how much fans have been looking forward to seeing the return of some of their favorite anime hunters.

When Togashi started his new Twitter Account, many fans were skeptical that this was in fact the account for the popular mangaka, though the creator of One-Punch Man, the artist simply known as ONE, helping in confirming that the creator of Hunter x Hunter had hit the internet. While a release date for the new chapters has yet to be revealed, we would imagine that Yoshihiro will see even more fans follow the creator's social media account.
