HxH to Release 2 Volumes in 2 Months, Signal for Return from Hiatus? 
Latest volumes are slated for a July and August release, lending credence to rumors of an August return for popular HUNTER x HUNTER manga. Pre-orders for the 28th volume of Togashi Yoshihiro's "HUNTER x HUNTER" began yesterday, and now the 29th volume is going on sale as well, in August. The previous serialization stint it had lasted 5 months, and the chapters published during that period make up exactly these 2 volumes. The two volumes go on sale officially on the 4th of July and the 4th of August respectively.
Incidentally, this also lends some credence to recent rumors about the series' return from hiatus this August. The latest chapter was published in the 26th issue of Weekly Shounen Jump in 2010, on the 31st of May, approximately a year ago. The source of the rumor is Kurippa-san, who attended a get-together for young mangaka. Kurippa-san said, "It seems the series will return in August". The get-together had also apparently been attended by Togashi's assistant. However, Kurippa-san's blog, on which he had posted the news, has now been deleted.
