How Many Volumes Does Hunter X Hunter Have
Okay, let's talk about Hunter x Hunter. Specifically, how many volumes of this legendary (and perpetually on hiatus) manga exist.
It's a simple question, right? Well, in theory. But wading through the Hunter x Hunter fandom sometimes feels like navigating the Dark Continent itself!
So, What's the Official Count?
As of today, the "official" answer is 37 volumes. Thirty-seven beautiful, action-packed, and emotionally devastating volumes.
Must Read
That's what the numbers say. Go check out the stores!
But... Is that really the answer? Let's dive deeper, shall we?
The Hiatus Factor
Ah, the elephant in the room. Or, perhaps, the Nen beast lurking in the shadows. The infamous hiatus.
Yoshihiro Togashi, the brilliant (and we hope healthy) creator of Hunter x Hunter, is known for taking breaks.
Sometimes long, very long breaks. Which leads to incomplete story arcs, and a whole lot of patient (or not-so-patient) fans.
Those breaks are longer than my attention span, and I like long anime series.
My Unpopular Opinion: It's Technically Incomplete
Now, here's where I might lose some of you. Buckle up! I think it's incomplete! I feel like I'm going insane because of it.
Hear me out. A story isn't truly "complete" until it has an ending, right? A satisfying conclusion, a feeling of closure.
With Hunter x Hunter... we're still waiting. We are waiting, still.
Thirty-seven volumes of amazing world-building, complex characters, and incredible fights. But still... the plot threads are everywhere.
We're left hanging. Like a puppet whose strings have been cut. Maybe it's time to get Togashi to drop the next volume!
The Chimera Ant Arc Dilemma
Take the Chimera Ant arc, for instance. It's considered one of the greatest arcs in shonen manga. But it went on... and on... and on...
It felt like it never end. I almost got tired of it.
The thing with the arc is that it had almost no connection to the main plot. This arc alone could count as it's own volume.
So, Back to the Question: How Many Volumes Does Hunter x Hunter Have?
The official number is 37. But in my heart, and maybe in yours too, it's 37 volumes... and counting.
We're still holding out hope for more. We are all still hoping.
We're waiting for Togashi to grace us with the next chapter. The next volume. The next piece of the puzzle.
Until then, we'll just keep re-reading those 37 volumes. Analyzing every detail, debating every theory, and praying to the manga gods.
Because let's be honest, we're all just a little bit obsessed with Hunter x Hunter. Aren't we?
And that obsession, that anticipation, is what makes it so special. So, 37 volumes? Maybe. But the story... the adventure... it's far from over.
