Life can be unfair like that, some guys like Togashi have talent but have also decided that hard work isnt for them and will do the bare minimum while the average Jump author busts their ass to barely maintain serialization. |

It always amazes me how easily people living on another continent can reject the notion that maybe Togashi really does have health problems.

I don't think they'll drop Togashi anytime soon. Like you said, HxH sells well so there's nothing to lose by allowing his work to continue despite the hiatuses. All that matters is that Jump's ok with it, and they seem to be, so that's that. As for his work ethic (that's assuming he's not telling the truth about his health), he'd already established himself as a successful mangaka prior to HxH and these translated interviews with him provide an insight into the grind he experienced and how it changed his views on the production of his manga.

Well if he does in fact have health problems why on earth isn't he putting in some assistants and shit so that he doesn't have to do it all by himself. It just doesn't make sense to not do it if you can't possibly maintain a steady release schedule cause of health problems. Either drop it entirely or get some damn help. |

YES! I actually didn't think this would happen any time soon.
I hope he manages to get out a decent amount of chapters before his next break. I really want to start reading the Dark Continent arc, but I know it's a bad idea to do so at the moment. |

Well I didn't drop it, I waited for Dressrosa to end and bingeread it, and then wait again, I know that spoiler[the 4th Yonkou has been revealed, Sanji's full name too and apparently he is royalty, and things like that.] I did it with Dressrosa only because it was slow as hell (and rather disliked it when reading it full), and it was in tha arc when I catched up. I would've done the same with many of the arcs following the Great War arc, I liked some a little bit, but some bored me a lot, so I just wait. But that's enough off-topic. |

Perhaps he knows he doesn't play nice with other people. Perhaps this is his baby and if he isn't the only one doing it he will feel it isn't his work. Finally, perhaps as long as he is happy with the work he puts out and his fans are happy enough to continue spending their money on him, it won't matter whether or not he meets some fans expectations on a schedule. Personally I find it strange some fans insist that if you can't meet their schedule expectations that the creator should just stop the work. |

If his health really is failing him, I still stand by my thought that he should announce his retirement and just letthe series end as it is. That would be what's best for him (and if Shuiesha puts up with his hiatuses, then he must have the leverage to retire when he wants too), and it'd benefit everyone waiting for him to continue because they'll know there won't be any more.
You can never really tell. There was one time he went on hiatus for about 30 weeks, then released the two-chapter special, then went back on hiatus for another 30 weeks or so.
If he's been able to take this many and make them that long, he's probably allowed to take as many hiatuses as he wants. Every series he's published in Weekly Shonen Jump has been successful, even stuff obscure nowadays like Level E. In addition, volumes of Hunter X Hunter sell well even when he's on hiatus. As a result, they treat him like royalty. They'll be harsher on him when Hunter X Hunter stops selling well. Who knows when that will happen?
Oh, Japanese fans are sick of his hiatuses too, so much so that the word "Togashi" is now in the Jump fan lexicon to mean a person who takes unnecessarily long breaks. What I think irks people is that, with the exception of this last hiatus, Togashi never gave an explanation. He'll either announce that he's going on break, or he won't say anything at all and the manga suddenly stops. This creates the impression that he goes on break solely because he wants to.
He's a reclusive artist. He doesn't trust anyone else to do any of it and is only comfortable if he writes and draws everything himself. Not the most efficient way to do it, but if it results in the fantastic storytelling he creates, Shueisha will let him work strictly alone.
Actually, the first bit in the spoiler tag had been revealed quite some time ago, and the third bit in the spoiler tag is incorrect; that's just a fan theory that became popular before the manga actually stated the facts outright. |

So he'll do one chapter to finish off volume 33 that's profit on the sales of 1 million sold copies and another 10 chapters so that after another multi year break he only needs to do 1 chapter for volume 34 and another 1 million volume payoff.

That is totally not true! There was no dispute in Yu Yu Hakusho, just Togashi that decided to end abruptly, and so he did. Togashi himself talked about the issue in his Doujinshi that he made right after ending Yu Yu Hakusho. He talked of all the problems he had during the serialization and why he decided to end. In the problems there was nothing about disputes with editors, in fact if there was he wouldn't later do Level-E in the magazine, but with a Monthly issue(yep, monthly serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump), and then later start HunterxHunter, with that cover comment in the first volume.

Welp, lets just hope this is a good run that isn't solely exposition.
