Togashi is lazy, right, but he's not shit. His art were really good during the Palace invasion, or if correctly, ONLY the Palace Invasion arc. It is said that he used ink right away without sketching with pencil first like most mangaka to save time, and that he slacks off during the week and then scribbles to meet the deadline.

And why is Hunter x Hunter highly rated? Well, the factor that made it famous isn't the art (obviously), but the story. Togashi has his brains outside the box for this series, and that's why it got so popular in Japan.

Hunter x Hunter is brilliantly made, the only problem is that the mangaka gives no shit about his work. If I can ask for one, I would like this series to be written by someone with the creativity of Togashi, but is a hard-worker who doesn't sit on his manga pile playing Dragonquest.
