"Lol, I feel like taking a break, you can do it for now."

I'm happy it's starting again, I just hope he either continues writing for a while, or finishes it up soon.


Why does the terrifyingly intriguing thought of Sugisaki drawing Hunter X Hunter or Togashi drawing D.N.Angel makes my body want to split in half and run in opposite directions?

Well my friend will be fangirling tomorrow about this. Doesn't really affect me though because I'm just following Viz's releases for this one.

This is good news. I'm also only following the official release, but if this had kept up for much longer, they would have caught up, like with FMA, and we'd be waiting 3-4 months or more between volume releases. Add that on top of putting Bleach into their accursed magazine and slowing the manga release to every 3 months, and Viz would be sending some serious pain my way...

I am strangely curious as to what they would look like. xD

Jump needs to cut him off. Really, his comic isn't worth the hype anymore.

Jump won't cut a successful manga. The fans support Togashi, the tankoubon sell very well, so the series stays.

I know we're all a bit jaded and it's not the 'in' thing to still love your old favourites, but seriously, there are other Jump series who don't live up to themselves anymore. HxH is not one of them.

I don't get at all why some commenters here are acting frustrated with Togashi now. Just give the story to someone else? Huh? Maybe a year ago it would have made sense to demand this, but now that it's pretty damn clear that Togashi is still determined to draw the story?

There are worse mangaka out there. Since we are speaking of Yukiro Sugisaki: D.N.Angel started eleven years ago and has eleven volumes out (some volumes only amount to volume-size because of the bonus stories). Hunter X Hunter started ten years ago and has 24 volumes out. And HxH is superiour in any aspect, too, especially when it comes to story or characters.
Don't equate them.

Cool, I didn't know this. No surprise, since I don't normally read anything from this magazine...
But I don't think I'm mistaken when I say that more stuff happens in five volumes of Hunter X Hunter than happens in the entire series of D.N.Angel. The latter got very repetitive and anticlimactic. It's the same five or six characters again and again in the same situations, facing the same problems, almost-but-never-quite approaching the same twists or turns or reveals, which never happen.
