posted on by Kim Morrissy
Less than 72 hours after creating a Twitter account to tease the return of his Hunter X Hunter manga, Yoshihiro Togashi has gained over two million followers. He is second now only to My Hero Academia's Kohei Horikoshi (2.1 million followers).

Togashi hinted that the manga would return from its current hiatus, posted a picture with a manuscript with the number "6," and stated that there were four more chapters "for now." Togashi commented in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine that he has finished the rough drafts for 10 chapters, which is the typical amount for a compiled book volume. The number "6" refers to how many manuscripts he has finished out of those 10 chapters, which means there are four more to go. He did not reveal when the chapters would debut. He has since also posted a manuscript with the number "7" in the corner.
The explosive growth of this account despite its atypical handle name (@Un4v5s8bgsVk9Xp) indicates fans' continued passion and hunger for news about the manga's on-and-off serialization. Yūsuke Murata (One-Punch Man) confirmed on Twitter that the Twitter account belonged to Togashi.
The manga has been on hiatus since November 2018. The manga returned from a previous hiatus in September 2018 after going on hiatus in April 2018. The manga previously went on hiatus in September 2017, and Togashi announced at the time that he planned to resume the series before the end of the year. The manga then resumed in January 2018. The manga had gone on other numerous hiatuses prior to these.
