This is the hiatus that never ends.
It goes on and on my friends.
Togashi started drawing not know how to end.
So then he took a break and that is how this is the hiatus never ends.

Anyone new who really wants to get into HxH should just watch the anime and pretend the series ended there. It provided closure on the initial driving force and you don't have to suffer like the rest of us.

HxH will never be finished..
Yeah well sometimes not getting something is actually better than getting it. I had to read several terrible Dune novels to finish that series and I felt it would have been better just left unfinished.

I can't say that I'm not going to miss it, but it feels petty to complain about it. Nothing is more important than a person's health or leading the kind of life they want, work like this is secondary and we're not really owed anything.
A few reasons for that.
A) That would likely mean moving publications. Weekly SJ is a weekly magazine that publishes weekly series. Shueisha has monthly publications, but they are less popular and Hunter x Hunter is a heavy hitter for WSJ so why bother?
B) The expected length of a chapter for a monthly is significantly longer. Go read a chapter of Blue Exorcist or JoJo and compare it to your typical HxH chapter. Readers would likely not enjoy getting an equivalent of a weekly story released monthly. If you increased it to monthly length, you'd lose a lot of that decreased workload.
C) Most importantly, we don't know the pace he works on these chapters. The first chapter we got after the hiatus might have been written a year ago. He's probably working at the pace he's able to work already. Going monthly would spread the story out and may hide the hiatus, but you aren't going to get him going at a faster pace.

Hopefully he gets better, the man gave me/us yu yu hakusho.
I never knew he was in this bad of a condition, just thought it was a sort of joke and little colds.

This should not come as a surprise to anyone at all.

really sad to hear this.
I hope he is ok.

Bastard is terrible though.
And I liked reading it, but it's not like there's anything resembling a plot anymore. It was just hentai of Porno Dianno.
Berserk and HxH still might go somewhere. Maybe.

Switching to monthly doesn't make sense.
That's increasing his workload along with a slightly longer deadline. Monthly publications are usually in the 40+ pages

Togashi please. Just get someone to draw and oversee the story and watch your health...
Now we ended in another cliffhanger.

Knew it was coming, that's why I didn't even bother reading the latest chapters
I do hope he's alright though, have they diagnosed him him with anything? His pain seems to severe for a normal sickness/pain

What chapters do the 6 OVAs cover?
Ain't that the truth. I went on a tear through the Dune novels one year and my GF was nice enough to buy me Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune. I couldn't even finish the first one
It's so disjointed it might as well be its own thing. Without reading the manga the OVA's a waste of time, really.
Read Toriko. It also appears to be entering the endgame, but I find it to be an extremely enjoyable battle shonen, that actually scratched many of the same itches Hunter x Hunter did for me. The way the world building is done in Toriko (especially prior to the timeskip) really did remind me of HxH. There is even narration that is done in a similar style to explain all the crazy environments, creatures, and feats. It definitely feels like the author of Toriko got a lot of influence from Togashi.
The only real weakness of the series is the crazy pacing later on in the story. Mitsutoshi must be getting pressured to wrap it up. But even still, this manga escalates like nothing I've ever seen. Before HxH came back it was the series I looked most forward to reading each week. Insane creatures, insane environments, insane feats, and this may make or break it for some, insane powercreep. I was not expecting the creatures and characters in Toriko to become so absurdly powerful, that DBZ comparisons would be completely apt. Some of the feats in this series are simply mind-boggling, and I love it.
Also, the Gourmet World is as close as we're getting to the Dark Continent for some time lol.
That'd be the typical rate, but it's the damn author of HxH, I'm sure they'd be fine with him releasing 23 page chapters as long as he's actually releasing something.
But they're so good!!
