Discussion Hiatus X Hiatus

[Kiba]

So we will be at the Dark Continent in 7 years huh?..

 

[shionoro]

I will say it too: The ten chapters we got were good stuff (even if i have to admit that i would have taken more time on the boat over the (still great) chrollo vs hisoka fight).
Talks about HxH being cancelled and never finish are arround since the chimera ant arc, but patience will give us the chapters eventually.
Togashi is 50, the oldes active mangaka is 77.
If this is an acceptable pace for him (one volume a year, for example), then we could as well get at least 15 more volumes.

 

[Kanmuru]

Oh the pain...

 

[Demonspeed]

We got 11 chapters not 10 .

 

[shionoro]

It is a good sign that this is a planned hiatus tho.
Last time it was a bad sign that togashi couldnt even go through the ten chapters he originally planned.
This time, he could. I think is condition is much better than last time.
I am quite convinced that the minimum we can exspect is ten chapters next year (it is not as bad is it might sound T.T)

Depending on his condition, he might decide to rest only until november or december and then keep going.

That is true, but i count the first chapter we got to the last serialization phase, because i feel like it belonged there.
It finished the Volume and it seemed clear that it was intended to release it back then, so i get confused about this at times

But ya, we actually got eleven chapter now. time flies, huh? 11 weeks went by quickly.

Though it's in part dependent on the speed of the ship I wonder what the distance is between the known world and the new continent and the dark continent; it has to be a good deal out I suppose

If this picture is any reasonable foundation of our estimation, it can be pretty far if they travel east. http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Lake_Mobius?file=Lake_Mobius.png

Yo, guys, i know there was a lot of controversy about what hisoka can do with his bungee gum.
I think many of us overlooked the absolutely canon musical and hisoka's genius apllications of his hatsu:
It seems its possibilities are endless. If you watch the video, you will soon agree that cpr is nothing to someone like that.


I am sure the same is going to happen with the remaining spiders.
As Hisoka said in the video: Ten remain, he had to kill kortopi and shalnark so that his ten fingers will be sufficient to handle the spiders.

ngl that tilted me relatively hard

 

[Aonori]

Well, seems like I will have a few more years to catch up with HxH, with togashi´s writing there´s no rush... DX

 

[shionoro]

@TSPanda

Honestly, i would stop reading HxH for 10 years if i could to then look how far it got and read up all at once.
It's just thati can't ^^
I was lucky enough stopping to read it after they went to greed island when i was in puberty (wow is it that long?) so that i dodged all the hiatusses of the chimer ant arc except the last one.

Re: Hiatus



The hiatus is certainly a negative when it comes to HxH having its own section. However, at this time, we have no plans to get rid of it. HxH still has a ton of material that can be discussed and we look forward to its eventual return (hopefully sooner rather than later).

Other than that, lets not turn this thread into a "agony" thread about the hiatus. It is what it is. Instead, how do these breaks effect your overall opinion of the story? Do you feel that they take away from what is otherwise a very interesting story or do they have no impact whatsoever?

It does make it a little bit harder to get back into the series once it returns, imho. I had to go back and reread the election arc/dc information to even remember what was going on when chapter 350 was released. Two years is a lot of time to forget the details, and Togashi spends a ton of time on exposition to do story setup.

It took slightly more than 10 years for the last 100 chapters to be completed, so it wouldn't be as much as you think especially if you assume the rate declines because Togashi is getting older.

I do not assume that tho.
If he keeps watching his health and only goes ten chapters per year, he might be, on the long run, able to do more than if he forced himself to do 30 or 20 chapters like before.

I think a big part of his declining health may be attributed to the 30 chapters he went 2011 and 2012.
Before, after a big hiatus in 2006, he was usually able to deliver his ten and at times 20 chapters just fine with only a year inbetween them maximum.
The real bad times started just recently, when, even when he thought he could, he wasnt even able to finish ten chapters after a very long hiatus.

This time, he was able to finish his ten chapters and wen tinto a planned hiatus and has time to recover properly without already having harming himself.
That might do him some good and enable him to keep the pace of 10 chapters per year

Mangastream uploads commments of WSJ mangakas which is actually cool! Here are this weeks comments, including togashi's

I don't know what's the reason for this hiatus but it seems his back pain again?

 

[duerlin]

Let's all do our check-up's. We will want to see the end of this.

It will be interesting to see how us, the forum and the internet will change while we wait for it.

 

[Terahawk]

I probably should go check out Mononofu, after reading that mangaka comment.

 

[shionoro]

this is interesting for most really Long running Mangas.
But with HxH, it is even more stunning because it seems totally unclear in which direction it is going andhow it will end.

With one Piece or etective conan, one has a good grasp after some time what will happen, but with HxH i'd be really mad if i would never know what will happen in the succession war or on DC

 

[IamJacky]

While I'm all bummed out by the hiatus, I've gotta say the last 10-11 chapters since his come back was phenomenal. Every chapter was excellent both in story telling and the arts were on higher details and qualities. I think he's had a lot of time during his last hiatus to come up with a grand arc and plots for the Dark Continent, Chrollo vs Hisoka, and the Succession War. There are simply way too many new elements introduced in this arc, and so far I'm not disappointed one bit, Togashi is just amazing that way.

The latest chapter was getting so exciting, seeing some of the Nen beasts and all... but I'm pretty sure I'll feel the same if he had gone on hiatus at any chapter before this one. I can only hope HxH comes back soon...

 

[shionoro]

Ya, it is actually quite stunning what togashi can dish out in so few chapters.
I guess when you know you cannot write many chapters, you think hard about what you want to include and what not.

The ten chapters we got were already a bit thinner plot movement wise because we had a long fight in them and they still did set up the boat arc quite well.
Without the hisoka chrollo fight (which served as action and set up alike), we would probably be significantly farther in the plot.

So i would assume togashi could even wrap up the kakin war in the next serialization phase.

 

[Riyuki]

Yep. He did in eleven chapters what would've taken Kubo like 40 chapters to do and it wouldn't of been that good either. Chrollo vs Hisoka volume was awesome af. I really wish I read it all from start to finish instead of weekly. Oh well lol

Let's make some legit predictions for the newest chapter.

January 2017 for me
