The fact that Hunter x Hunter fans are still desperate for new chapters even with the series on an ongoing hiatus is largely a testament to how great the manga really is. With Yoshihiro Togashi still battling various ailments that prevent him from drawing, the Hunter x Hunter release schedule has become glacial over the past several years. However, hope is on the horizon as we wait for new Hunter x Hunter chapters to finally start coming out again.

How often do Hunter x Hunter manga chapters come out?

There was a time when Hunter x Hunter came out on a weekly schedule, but creator Yoshihiro Togashi had to take repeated breaks over the years due to his declining health. Those breaks got longer and more frequent. Now, we don’t have a set Hunter x Hunter release schedule for the manga; new chapters are released when they are ready.

What is the Hunter x Hunter 416 release schedule?

The next chapter to be released will be Hunter x Hunter 416, which is due out on August 9, 2026. After nearly two years of waiting, Hunter x Hunter 411 was released on June 28, 2026, followed by Hunter x Hunter 412 a week later. The most recent chapter was Hunter x Hunter chapter 415, which was released on August 2, 2026. We don't know how long the current serialization will last, but we do know that the Hunter x Hunter creator Yoshihiro Togashi has several more chapters ready for publication.

When will the Hunter x Hunter manga come back from hiatus?
