A comment believed to be from Hideaki Togashi, brother of Yoshihiro Togashi, has caught the attention of Hunter x Hunter fans. According to a fan who visited the Togashi family’s shop, Hideaki expressed doubts that the manga could ever reach its conclusion if it continues at its current pace.
The fan shared on social media that during their visit to Togashi Paper Shop, the Togashi family’s store, Hideaki Togashi spent time chatting and shared stories about the family and behind-the-scenes details of Hunter x Hunter.
Most notably, Hideaki openly commented on his brother’s slow production speed. He reportedly said that if it takes about two years to release 10 chapters, Hunter x Hunter will never be finished.
This remark quickly made fans laugh but also earned a lot of agreement. The slow release schedule of Hunter x Hunter has been a frequent topic among fans for years.
Yoshihiro Togashi’s famous series began publication in 1998 and has experienced many breaks. Health issues have prevented the author from maintaining a steady schedule, while the story still has many plotlines left unresolved.
Online, many readers find Hideaki’s comment realistic. Some even joke that hearing a family member admit the current pace is too slow makes the situation all the more amusing.
Besides Hunter x Hunter, Hideaki Togashi has also worked in manga. According to the fan’s post, Yoshihiro’s brother previously created adult manga but has since stopped.
The Togashi family thus has a unique connection to the manga industry. Hideaki himself has been involved in some Hunter x Hunter-related activities.
However, this statement is just a fan’s recounting of a conversation at the family shop, not an official announcement about the manga’s future. Fans still need to wait for direct updates from Yoshihiro Togashi or the publishers.
What’s clear is that this story highlights the patience of the Hunter x Hunter community. After nearly three decades, every new chapter is a major event for fans. Whether Gon, Killua, Kurapika, and the others will reach an ending depends heavily on the pace of production in the coming years.
