Hunter x Hunter’ News And Updates: Creator Togashi Still Absent Due To Illness; Wife Takeuchi, As Replacement For The Job
The creator of "Hunter x Hunter," Yoshihiro Togashi, is still suffering from his worsening back pain which explains his leave of absence from the set. His health has hampered his creative work with the producers of "Hunter x Hunter."
"Hunter x Hunter" is on the set of Episode 361 and there is no completion in sight for the 361st installment. Since the first quarter of last year, Togashi had been on leave from his work and fans as well as producers, are skeptical if he is up to finishing his work with them, from an article in gamenguide.
To finish the 361st episode of "Hunter x Hunter," Togashi tried to hire some writers to help him finish the job. Circulating rumors said that these hired writers of Togashi, failed to deliver his expectations which made him put the project on a standoff.
According to reports, Togashi's wife, Naoko Takeuchi, will help his ailing husband finish the Manga Script or may as well be his replacement to do the job. Naoko is very qualified for the job as she is a well-known artist of the Manga World. One of her famous works is "Codename: Sailor V", an acceptance of the world of this anime worth emulating. Another work of her is "Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon" as reported by ASZ News.
Under Naoko Takeuchi's accolades are numerous awards she received from her extraordinary work. This includes the 2nd Nakayosahi Comic Prize for Newcomers for "Yume Ja Nai No Ne". Another award she brought home is the 1986 New Artist award for "Love Call."
Fans are now hopeful for the continuation of "Hunter x Hunter" as a worthy replacement will be available for manga publisher, Shueisha. He also tried to hire some new writers and illustrators for the project to augment Togashi's write ups. But Togashi isn't satisfied of the newly hired output. Again, putting the anime on hold.
The 360th episode of "Hunter x Hunter" that was finished was entitled "Parasite" and shown last April 2016 which was assumed to be the finaI installment for the year.
With Takeuchi at the helm of Togashi's left off work, fans can now be contented with at least a fraction of hope that someone will be there to continue the episodes of "Hunter x Hunter."
