The reason why some fans believe it due to similarities between both Hunter × Hunter and Tokyo Ghoul, also both are action-adventure manga series.

Rumors further grew that Hunter × Hunter was stopped for some time to concentrate on Tokyo Ghoul. However, it is reported that there is a change in characters of the manga series when the new creator takes the charge.
