'HUNTER x HUNTER' started serialization in March 1998. Serialization continued with fine breaks in between, but from February 2006 to October 2007, for the first time, it was 1 year and 8 months (79 times) and a long hiatus. Since then, it has been serialized with monthly and yearly breaks. Most recently, it has been on hiatus for more than 3 years, the longest ever since December 2018.

Although the magazine did not announce a particular reason for the hiatus, it is believed that one of the reasons is that the author, Yoshihiro Togashi, has severe back pain.

Togashi started using Twitter in May 2022. An account that gained 1 million followers in just one day, uploading daily progress with images.
