As expected, many fans were delighted by the news of the manga's impending return, but there were also those who were tempering their excitement just a bit.
Notably, those fans were not necessarily less enthused about the manga's return since they may just be wary of the very real possibility that this return could once again only last for a while.
Over on Reddit, several fans have pointed out that series creator Yoshihiro Togashi seems to have formed a habit of releasing a few chapters for a set period of time, going back into an indefinite hiatus and then repeating the cycle all over again.
This stop-and-start pattern of "Hunter x Hunter" content production has even inspired the creation of a comprehensive Hiatus Chart. As viewers can see, the series is no stranger to going on breaks, with those events popping up pretty much every year since the manga was first published.
There was even a year when no new chapters of the manga were provided.
To be fair, there is no guarantee that yet another hiatus will take place once publication of the manga resumes in January, though that probably will not stop a few fans from keeping their guards up.
More news about the "Hunter x Hunter" manga should be made available in the near future.
