Hunter x Hunter has kept fans on edge for years now, but its hiatus has endured. However, it seems like creator Yoshihiro Togashi is about to make good on his promise to revive the series.

For those needing context, Twitter went into a frenzy today when an anonymous account thought to belong to Yoshihiro Togashi posted a photo of some manga drafts. The teaser said new chapters were being worked on by Togashi, but no one was able to verify the account until the creator of One-Punch Man stepped in. Yusuke Murata confirmed the account does belong to Togashi, leaving fans plenty of reasons to get hyped.

It didn’t take long for Megumi Han or Mariya Ise to comment on the ordeal either. After all, the two voice actors are considered Hunter x Hunter royalty. Han is known for voicing Gon in the anime while Ise oversaw Killua. The two actresses are notorious Hunter x Hunter fans even though its anime ended a while back. So after this hiatus update went live, the two stars hit up social media with telling reactions.

Han posted a simple picture from the Hunter x Hunter manga of Gon tearing up, and Ise did the same with Killua. Neither actress said anything conclusive about the comeback, but it seems they’re just as emotional about the manga returning as we all are. So if Shueisha wants to drop an official statement regarding the comeback, that’d be great!
