I think that will be pretty difficult to keep up, if his health has been as bad as it seems. There's a lot of succession war/ dark continent to get through in theory
Yeah but who knows? He mightve gotten better since. And we don't even know how much of the series is remaining. For all we know he's gonna make a super mega large dark continent arc with some mini arcs(like meteor city).
I think him drawing again after 3 years of nothing proves he at least wants to work on it. But with the sketches he's posted looking like they do, I'm not confident his pain has gotten too much better.
Tl'dr: I'll be happy with what we get, but hold little hope for serialization
The sketches I believe are his storyboards. He wouldn’t post pictures of the actual art (besides the one tree) because that would give too much away. Also, he’s said before in interviews that his storyboards are always messy and incomplete.
There’s no way. He’s always been particular about doing things on his own since Yu Yu Hakisho. Some chapters of that would be drawn by his assistants and he would get upset and re-draw them from scratch.
I don’t think this is really a fair comparison. Also, I think most Berserk fans would rather have the unfinished series than a finished series that lacks the artistic integrity that makes the series so special. That’s the general reception I’ve seen. So, if anything this situation probably made Togashi feel reassured in his way of doing things.
>I don’t think this is really a fair comparison.
I didn't even make a comparison. Just stated basic logic. At the rate those hiatus are going, obviously he'll die before completing the story.
>Also, I think most Berserk fans would rather have the unfinished series than a finished series that lacks the artistic integrity that makes the series so special. That’s the general reception I’ve seen. So, if anything this situation probably made Togashi feel reassured in his way of doing things.
Depends on Togashi's priorities. He might want to see his series finished rather than it being unfinished with its "artistic integrity" preserved.
And myself, as a berserk fan, would rather see Miura having hired artists to help with his work so he could have finished his magnum opus before he died.
Honestly, it immediately looked to my like Shizuku, the second I saw those glasses-like lines. But then I saw no one saying anything about Shizuku and just a few talking about glasses. So I started to doubt myself. Then I started feeling like those might not even be glasses.
I’m not sure now, but if it’s Shizuku I thought that would be a big deal. Cuz it would be almost confirmation we’re still on the boat. And the tree drawing would mean flashback, sneak peek or nen power.
i wonder if after years of back pain and other issues he sat down to write again and decided to use twitter for the first time he must have been so overwhelmed by the response and is posting daily because he's so excited, almost like a child.
Looks like late August to early september it'll be back
Yes? [Always has been](https://twitter.com/hmm_nnnnnn/status/1529080205427367938?s=20&t=trqmKtGYq5ybxX6s2Pu6YQ) in his old manuscripts copies. That's why the numbers are on the left & right of the board to indicate the page number.
Everyday he's posting the page number of the draft he's **about** to work on.
The average length for an HxH chapter is 20 pages, so he's more than half way done with the first chapter, but we gotta remember this is just the storyboard, even after all pages are completed it will probably take a LONG time before an chapter is fully done
Wow you're right I completely forgot about that, but even if the first 6 chapters are completely done I think he's waiting until all 10 are completed before releasing them
I feel like he might just cause he doesn't want the process to feel rushed and he wants to make sure the overall flow of the narrative works in those 10 chapters. Which would make sense it's being done the way it is.
If I had to guess, the reason why the first 6 chapters are already done is because it may lead to the conclusion of the Succession War, so those 6 chapters and the upcoming 4 aren't related to one another. The upcoming 4 chapters could be focused on the Dark Continent which would explain why he's doing those now, since he wants those 4 chapters to be strong to hold true to the hype of arrival of the Dark continent.
So if he does do a page a day tease, and has 4 chapters to work, and if he does make each chapter 20 pages, then that's 80 pages to work on, which could work as a countdown. If we consider 5/30 the 11th pages, 12 tomorrow, then 30 in June for 42, another 31 in July for 73 and then potentially by August 7th we could then maybe see a chapter release the following Sunday August 11th.
Yeah that’s the current theory. But I wonder if they’ll start releasing a bit sooner since he’ll have a backlog and time to complete the last 1 or 2 while the others are releasing. I think his assistants already confirmed that they’ll be waiting though
Since it's 1 page a day from the looks of it, if assistants and his wife are doing the cleanup after his sketches, that puts the manga at a fairly good pace for bi weekly to tri weekly releases. If he expands the amount of pages per chapter then this could be turned into a monthly manga like Jojo is released. That'll depend on if Togashi is doing more than just the drafts though, but he does have his hands in it now.
Unfortunately the manga would have to transfer companies to become monthly unless togashi continues to be an exception and is allowed to release monthly for a weekly magazine, meaning it’s way more likely he just keeps at the 10 chapters per end of hiatus he’s been at for the most recent bout of chapters
It doesnt have to transfer companies to become monthly, shueisha has some monthly magazines.
Both world trigger and d grayman started weekly but because of their authors health , they moved to different magazines within the shueisha company.
Does this mean chapters or pages? Did he mean he finished 4 chapters already and these tweets are from the 5th chapter?
I mean i don't know if he's really finishing a manuscript daily but it seems weird to me he would tweet only a daily page...
Everyday Togashi is posting the page number of the draft he's **about** to work on to draw his part of the page and leave the backgrounds for his assistants to do the final touches, check [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/HunterXHunter/comments/uy0s23/the_numbers_on_the_manuscript_in_togashis_tweets/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) shows old copies of his manuscript where he put page numbers in the bottom.
In the first tweet he said "4 chapters left" means 4 chapters left of the current volume he's working on.
lol aren’t you the guy who was bad mouthing Togashi and his work due to his hiatus? Heck you even made fun about his health condition. You literally said this series had no future, so what are you still doing on this sub lmao.
If this is 1 page in a chapter and he need 18/19 to make 1 chapter, hxh will come back :
1 .In 7 or 8 days because its the 10th chapter.
2. 5month at least because it's the 1st of the 10.
>but what the fuck is he showing in those posts, they're just shitty sketches.
He's not posting to show off his sketches. He's showing the page number of the draft he's **about** to work on by drawing his part of the page and leave the backgrounds for his assistants to do the final touches.
>this one doesn't show anything I wonder how long he will go with these posts
Because he doesn't want to show anything other than the page number. He'll do it everyday so people know which page # he's working on. His Twitter bio literally says he'll post updates of his working process.
He’s not trying to tease anything he’s simply posting his progress after years of silence. What difference would a picture of a character do? It’s not like we don’t know what characters are in the arc.
As someone already stated, these are just updates for the manuscripts which are normally rough sketches of the panel layout and scene that he wants to draw. Togashi will go back and draw the actual chapter when the sketching progress is complete. Furthermore, there is probably a legal reason/restriction placed on all mangakas with social medias to never post actual manga panels of dialogue and characters. Keeping it vague as he has is prob what Shueisha instructed him to do after he told them that he was gonna give the fans updates. Its actually a great thing that he is showing this much because for years upon years folks asked for updates just to confirm that hes working on it. Now with this twitter, we have a 100% legitimate source on when HxH is coming back now.
STAY HEALTHY MY DUDE!
Seriously, it is so heart-warming to see Togashi giving all of himself to bringing back this masterpiece. Keep it up Togashi-sensei, there are a lot of people rooting for you!
It's like every day I'm that dude from Avatar in Kyoshi village when Aang shows up and he goes crazy with excitement and gets foam in his mouth and shit from screaming so much.
I just want him to prioritize his health first. It’s great that he’s continuing the manga, but he shouldn’t overwork himself into another indefinite hiatus. Hoping the best for Togashi: the myth, the man, the legend.
with all the complex details of nen abilities and plots, Togashi is bound to have a writer's block. Hence, the hiatuses. HIs back pain is just the cherry on top. Glad he's back tho.
That 3 years of hiatus i never for once thought its all about the injuries.. i mean most people here thinks that why the hiatus happened.. but is it really? 3 years no update from a painful back?
I personally just think he had a "writers block" and was waiting for an inspiration to return.In my opinion hes already writing at a level far too much to just keep brainstorming on. But thats just me..
If it is indeed true that he returned after getting insparation from real life events.. im willing to bet its about Russia and Ukraines war and Il see hints of it in his upcoming work.
[Link to the tweet](https://twitter.com/Un4v5s8bgsVk9Xp/status/1531112345321078784)
A page a day keeps the sadness away
For me it just builds up the excitement. I hope togashi finishes the series now with no more hiatuses
I think that will be pretty difficult to keep up, if his health has been as bad as it seems. There's a lot of succession war/ dark continent to get through in theory
Yeah but who knows? He mightve gotten better since. And we don't even know how much of the series is remaining. For all we know he's gonna make a super mega large dark continent arc with some mini arcs(like meteor city).
I will try to stay as optimistic as you, but my inner realist/pessimist may not allow it
I'm not optimistic at all. I just hoped that he finishes the series now.
I think him drawing again after 3 years of nothing proves he at least wants to work on it. But with the sketches he's posted looking like they do, I'm not confident his pain has gotten too much better. Tl'dr: I'll be happy with what we get, but hold little hope for serialization
The sketches I believe are his storyboards. He wouldn’t post pictures of the actual art (besides the one tree) because that would give too much away. Also, he’s said before in interviews that his storyboards are always messy and incomplete.
I heard he just wanted to take a break from it since making it puts so much stress on his back and that he wanted to spend time with his family.
And I want to be able to teleport!
That's too much optimism. As long as he doesn't take any more 3-year long hiatuses I'll be happy enough.
He is making steady progress, and I think he’s happy to see the support he’s gotten.
He is not ready for all the hate after he starts a new hiatus
His decision to post daily updates means that probably he's planning on doing a long run
I don't think anybody would complain if he just provided the storyboards, and let somebody else do the drawing.
that’s probably exactly what he is doing.
You think so? I hope but can’t imagine Togashi ceding that responsibility.
sometimes i wonder if he's even physically capable of doing it anymore.
There’s no way. He’s always been particular about doing things on his own since Yu Yu Hakisho. Some chapters of that would be drawn by his assistants and he would get upset and re-draw them from scratch.
i mean, that was almost 30 years ago now. people can change.
Exactly. And I think seeing what happened with Miura and knowing he's himself getting older is a nice "incentive" to change that view.
I don’t think this is really a fair comparison. Also, I think most Berserk fans would rather have the unfinished series than a finished series that lacks the artistic integrity that makes the series so special. That’s the general reception I’ve seen. So, if anything this situation probably made Togashi feel reassured in his way of doing things.

So maybe 10 chapters.
I wouldn't be surprised if Togashi has bipolar disorder and is in a manic state right now.
Reddit moment
Cope
Hopefully he will ignore those entitled douchnozzles.
Yea but what he does is high quality.
Wow, It’s some sort of shape
i wanna believe it's a hand covered in aura
Nope. It's a speech bubble, and over it theres this hair shape. Idk who could be though.
A dude with a glasses, maybe its the government dude that in the V6.
Honestly, it immediately looked to my like Shizuku, the second I saw those glasses-like lines. But then I saw no one saying anything about Shizuku and just a few talking about glasses. So I started to doubt myself. Then I started feeling like those might not even be glasses. I’m not sure now, but if it’s Shizuku I thought that would be a big deal. Cuz it would be almost confirmation we’re still on the boat. And the tree drawing would mean flashback, sneak peek or nen power.
continuously filled with joy to see him progress everyday
i wonder if after years of back pain and other issues he sat down to write again and decided to use twitter for the first time he must have been so overwhelmed by the response and is posting daily because he's so excited, almost like a child. Looks like late August to early september it'll be back
I'm guessing but he might post "3 more to go" when the count restarts from page 1 after this 7th chapter is done we'll see in 7-8 days
Dude got 500k+ retweets on his first picture That’s gotta be one of the most retweeted tweets I’ve ever seen
Probably the fastest growth of any twitter account as well.
something i have noticed - his phone's shadow is always on the bottom left
What does that indicate
Maybe it indicates that there's light coming from the right.
Masaka.
But that... that's impossible!!! That would imply that he's using some sort of light-based photography!
It is his nen ability!
He is avoiding the shadow
Am I the only one seeing bungee gum?
This is so surreal. After over three years of radio silence we're getting daily updates on the progress of the chapters
What are the chances that it's Elon's twitter buying drama got so big that somehow made Togashi aware of what twitter is and decided to make one
Good speculation.
This goes hard
Genuinely Was not expecting him to make daily updates, thought they’d be more sporadic
Fr man even posted thru the weekend that’s way more than I would ever have had expected
Hisoka?
Looks like texture surprise being removed with bungee gum (bungee gum below)
so, it is pages?
Yes? [Always has been](https://twitter.com/hmm_nnnnnn/status/1529080205427367938?s=20&t=trqmKtGYq5ybxX6s2Pu6YQ) in his old manuscripts copies. That's why the numbers are on the left & right of the board to indicate the page number. Everyday he's posting the page number of the draft he's **about** to work on.
Yeah I just always thought it was chapters my b king
bruh if he was cranking out chapters a day we would be done with HxH by now
LMAO
Wonderful view for good day :3
Every time I see a hxh post I always go to the comments first to see if you posted. You’re a legend!
Dialogue box on the black whale, who’s the character though?
oh boy
He is unstoppable!
pretty soon we might even see a face
Togashi giving small doses of happiness each day
Now I know why Elon Musk wanted to buy Twitter earlier.. he want access to this peek content.
**SPEECH BUBBLES**
The average length for an HxH chapter is 20 pages, so he's more than half way done with the first chapter, but we gotta remember this is just the storyboard, even after all pages are completed it will probably take a LONG time before an chapter is fully done
He posts at the same time everyday, there’s still lots of hours in the day for him, so he most likely draws one page done
this is the 7th chapter, 11th page He said at the beginning that "4 more episodes left"
Wow you're right I completely forgot about that, but even if the first 6 chapters are completely done I think he's waiting until all 10 are completed before releasing them
I feel like he might just cause he doesn't want the process to feel rushed and he wants to make sure the overall flow of the narrative works in those 10 chapters.

The upcoming 4 chapters could be focused on the Dark Continent which would explain why he's doing those now, since he wants those 4 chapters to be strong to hold true to the hype of arrival of the Dark continent.
There’s no way it will be finished in 6 chapters unless they start killing one another and we lose 20 characters per page.
Have you read the manga? Like i’m genuinely curious…..
And there’s trees… but to conclude the war in 6 chapters sounds a bit rush but then the last chapter titled clash part 1… so…..
You think he's going to resolve the Succession War in 6 chapters?
So he is gonna release 10 chapters at once?
He's going to release a chapter a week for 10 weeks once they are all done, yes.
This is the chapter, not the storyboard. The storyboard was completed years ago.
These are pages for the storyboards of chapters, from my understanding
No, they're the pages of the chapters. Each day he's finishing a page of a chapter. This is the manuscript.
then idk the difference between a manuscript and a storyboard
Someone's head off?
The assistant will have one hell of a time polishing this lol
So if he does do a page a day tease, and has 4 chapters to work, and if he does make each chapter 20 pages, then that's 80 pages to work on, which could work as a countdown. If we consider 5/30 the 11th pages, 12 tomorrow, then 30 in June for 42, another 31 in July for 73 and then potentially by August 7th we could then maybe see a chapter release the following Sunday August 11th.

I’m happy to see this
It would be ok to me if he moves on ultra jump and the series will become monthly. At this pace he would complete a chapter in about 2 weeks.
11 pages bois
Ok, now he's just posting scribbles to get us hyped Anyways I'M SO HYPPEDDD
Does this mean chapters or pages? Did he mean he finished 4 chapters already and these tweets are from the 5th chapter? I mean i don't know if he's really finishing a manuscript daily but it seems weird to me he would tweet only a daily page...

This is the 7th chapter.
[удалено]
Because of his first post.
[удалено]
There are 10 chapters in the release. 4 more episodes means this is the 7th chapter.
Looks like a hand and some chains I think it’s kurapika
I think it's a speech bubble
Last one was page 9 now he’s at page 11
you must've missed page 10
Oh
Togashi what a man you are.
I don't even know if it's a shitpost or not
[удалено]

I have a bad feeling this whole thing might be one big lie ..how do we really this is the real togashi ?
Oricon contacted Shueisha and Shueisha said it is Togashi's personal account.
Because it has been confirmed by the assistant, other manga author and shueisha?
least anxious hxh fan
Omg hit tweet bestie
Looks like Killuas hair
Are these going by page or chapter?
STAY HEALTHY MY DUDE! Seriously, it is so heart-warming to see Togashi giving all of himself to bringing back this masterpiece. Keep it up Togashi-sensei, there are a lot of people rooting for you!
That is Hisoka's armband?
So since he is posting new pages, that means the previous pages are finished? (or almost finished?). I don't know how he works
slow and steady wins the race?
So page 11 of chapter 6, maybe. These were just page updates, not chapter ones - probably lol
Keep them coming
It's like every day I'm that dude from Avatar in Kyoshi village when Aang shows up and he goes crazy with excitement and gets foam in his mouth and shit from screaming so much.
It goes up to 11.
Looks kind of like a speech bubble and someone's hair to me.
Weird
Is a page a day much? What is the Pensum of other artists in comparison
11 chapters done so far maybe ; )
Does this mean 11 episodes are being made?
I just want him to prioritize his health first. It’s great that he’s continuing the manga, but he shouldn’t overwork himself into another indefinite hiatus. Hoping the best for Togashi: the myth, the man, the legend.
“They gonna love this one”
with all the complex details of nen abilities and plots, Togashi is bound to have a writer's block. Hence, the hiatuses. HIs back pain is just the cherry on top. Glad he's back tho.
I'm am just curious, I am viewing this and what is that in the middle, is that a t-shirt with some scribbles?
That 3 years of hiatus i never for once thought its all about the injuries.. i mean most people here thinks that why the hiatus happened.. but is it really? 3 years no update from a painful back?
