We did get at least some HxH chapters though last year, that's better than 2015.

Hopefully we get another volume's worth this year too.
What's the likely hood of him ending it with the next volume?

None at all. We're still at the beginning of a transitional arc (which is looking to be a lot bigger than a simple transitional arc) before a huge arc.
I doubt he'll pull another YYH. At least I'd hope not.
Hunter x Hunter is his passion. His magnum opus. I think he'll work on it till he's dead.
It's known he suffers from depression (in addition to back pain) and I think he works when he feels inspired and productive.
Him and his wife have a metric fuck ton of money and more will come in every day even if neither of them draw or write another thing in their lives. They are set.
The only reason for him to come back is as a labor of love for his creation. He always comes back. When he does and goes on another hiatus he'll come back from that one too.

One Piece will end before HxH does. The current arc is set up to be another big one and I think he's still got more planned for afterwards.

Unless he gets bored of pretending to care about the series every couple years and just decides to quickly wrap things up (which is certainly possible, he's done it before) the series will go on for a long time yet.

If One Piece ends before HxH the editors will force him to come back and stay back. One Piece is probably why at least 50% of people buy the magazine. Its probably One Piece and some other series but If One Piece is gone they will probably decide to just buy the tankoubons of the other series. In reality, a significant amount of people follow series like One Piece, Heroaca, Gintama, and followed series like Bleach through the tankoubon releases and just glance through the weekly chapters when they feel like it. The paper quality is also better and they can binge read 10 chapters.

YuYu Hakusho.. Togashi was setting up what looked like a huge story arc to only abruptly wrap up the series in like 10 chapters.

He had wanted to end Yu Yu Hakusho for a whIle by that point.
He keeps coming back to HxH by his own choice. Togashi has enough say now where he could end whenever he wants to. He has chosen not to.

Since we are over-hyping Dr.Stone, might as well jump on the bandwagon.

IF Inugaki put a Hiruma's personality type character in, and Boichi manages to draw him/her/it out then I will be their #1 fans EVER!!

Hiruma made Eyeshield21 great. Fight me.

Instant drop if no Hiruma's personality archetype.

Probably not. Although it's hard to say when OP will end too because the pacing has picked up really fast. If Togashi pumps out a volume every year or other year then probably not. I posted a Togashi & Oda interview a week or two back and he did say he had a few story arcs in mind after Chimera Ant (not sure if the interview was fake). Regardless, I think HxH's story won't be really long or at least not to extent people think it'll go for. It'll probably be around the same length as Toriko, maybe a bit more.


He was promising that he won't run away this time during the author comment of volume 1. So I don't think HxH will get the YYH treatment, or at least not to that extent. (interesting that he was hoping to get around 20 volumes out at the time)

Best Moments:
Toriko's ending
Hisoka vs. Chrollo
All Might vs. AFO
Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san at the beginning at of its Debut:3c

Worst Moments:
Togashi going on Hiatus after 9 freaking Chapters
It was 10 chapters, one more chapter than the previous hiatus. HxH only came for 10 chapters and took a shit on One Piece. I love One Piece but the whole cake island arc is just stale at least for me.

I couldn't really enjoy Hisoka Vs Chrollo as much as other people due to poor translaion but yes it was a good fight; MS's translations for HxH are just horrible. I kinda felt this way even when the Dark Continent arc started. Looking at the differences between MS & Viz for HxH is huge. I'm definitely going to pick up the latest HxH volume once it comes out next month and get a viz subscription whenever Togashi comes back. Look at the comparisons; Viz is overwhelmingly better

I think it's more so the fact that you're wishing for series with a good sized fanbases and decent enough ToC rankings to die

I really liked AssClass, it wasn't my favorite manga or anything like that but I enjoyed it very much

however, the latest arc when Kayano get killed and Koro-sensei pick up her guts and shove them back inside her and she returned to life made me so angry I would have dropped it if it wasn't already ending

he's talking about you contradictions and flip flopping (which is nothing new to you)
you said you're happy to see the haters for the manga you like despair because it got an anime
then went on to despair about the manga you don't like getting an anime

Rankings don't last forever and 200k isn't impressive either. What does Academia have to do with Black Clover being irrelevant?

Speaking of BC, why aren't they announcing the VA cast or the release date yet?
