In 1998, a short OVA based on the first two chapters premiered at the Jump Super Anime Tour. The series hasn't seen new content since then, going on three years at the time of this writing, though fortunately Togashi himself has recently stated on his Twitter account that he'll return to publish some new chapters when he's ready. Its last run was on June 2017, although it returned in January 2018 and again in March of the same year before eventually going back into hibernation for most of the year until returning in September. It seemed to have settled into a system where we get one tankobon (single volume collecting ~10 chapters) every 6 months, instead of every 2 months this puts Hunter on par with mangas that get a new chapter each month, instead of each week. It then went back into a year long hiatus since 2010 Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #26, but has finally returned again in 2011 Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #35-36, for 30 chapters then it went on a break again on Issue #16, 2012. The series is notable for having many long hiatus breaks during its run, one of which continued for a grand total of 1 year and 20 days! It returned in 2010 Weekly Shonen Jump Double Issue #5-6, and ran for 20 chapters. He also acquires a circle of friends, such as Leorio, a Jerk with a Heart of Gold who wants to become fabulously wealthy so he can become a doctor and open a free clinic Kurapika, a blonde Bishōnen who is last of the Kurta Clan, which was hunted into near-extinction by those who sought the Kurta's "Scarlet Eyes", which turn a fetching shade of red when emotionally excited and Killua Zoldyck, the middle son of a Dysfunctional Family of notorious assassins. During the incredibly difficult and incredibly dangerous "Hunter Exam," Gon faces peril both natural and man-made. Just becoming a Hunter is an adventure in itself. Gon isn't so much interested in riches or fame, however: he wants to be a Hunter so he can track down his father. Some scour the world for treasures or exotic goods, while others are Bounty Hunters who track down the world's most dangerous criminals. Of course, the life of a Hunter is also dangerous, for Hunters make their living taking on some of the most dangerous missions on Earth. And Hunters truly are elite: among other benefits, they get access to world-class amenities and exotic locales that are off-limits to ordinary people. In this world, you see, there are elite mercenaries known as Hunters.
