Hunter x Hunter Creator Previews Kurapika's Return in New Sketch

By Megan Peters

It has been a while since Hunter x Hunter checked in on its heroes, but that will change before long. After all, creator Yoshihiro Togashi is back to work on the series, and the manga is heading for a comeback at its own pace. Over on Twitter, the artist has given sneak peeks at the series' return if you haven't heard, and his most recent update includes a look at Kurapika. 

As you can see below, Togashi hit up fans on Twitter to share a look at one of his new chapters. It turns out one of them will shift focus to Kurapika as a page from chapter 19 showcases the favorite. And given their facial expression, it seems like Kurapika is focusing on something intently in this comeback.

Of course, Hunter x Hunter fans are happy to see the familiar face, and it is the first one Togashi has outed openly. The artist has kept all of his progress updates vague until now. All of his drafts were simple and most simply featured the chapter's numbering if anything. So as you can imagine, netizens did not expect to see Kurapika front and center in this latest post.

Shonen Jump fans are eager to read up on Togashi's new chapters, but as of right now, no comeback date has been set for the manga. Hunter x Hunter is still on hiatus even though its creator is back at work. The series' current hiatus is its longest yet as Hunter x Hunter has been out of commission for more than three years. But if all goes well, the hit series will catch up with fans just in time for 2023 to come around.

What do you think of this new look at Hunter x Hunter? Are you excited for the manga to return from its hiatus? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below or hit me up on Twitter @MeganPetersCB.
