Wait wait wait. Who the HELL is that someone? Togashi's gardener? No, wait, he got information from """FRIENDS, FORUMS""" and these so called "LETTERS". Why don't we know about these letters or these friends? Shouldn't it be known by the fandom in general? I mean, if Togashi really answered like that, it's obvious they would publish it somewhere, don't joke with me, this guy just read some theories and came up with the conclusion he finished Hunter x Hunter.

Furthermore, in an ACTUAL interview with Eichiro Oda some years ago -Chimera Ant arc was still unfinished- which you can look up easily, Togashi claims that he's still got three or four more stories to tell. Considering he already did the 14th Chairman Election Arc, and the Dark Continent Arc just started, there are still one or two more stories.

We should remind everyone that the world doesn't revolve about manga. For example, there is the A Song of Ice and Fire series. The first tree books came out in 96, 98, 00, see? A two years gap. The fourth one came out in 2005! and the fifth one in 2011. A FIVE-SIX YEARS GAP FOR TWO BOOKS THAT AREN'T EVEN THE FAVOURITES AMONG THE FANS. And the series is not even finished yet!

The author only has to write and think the story -which is, by no means, easy-, Togashi has to DESIGN it, besides writing and organizing the story the way he wants. The pacing -and storytelling, sometimes- Togashi has is comparable to that of a book author. I don't think you can easily do that if you write and draw a weekly-released story.

Togashi's mistake? Not thinking this before-hand, he probably didn't know it'd take this much to make a manga like Hunter x Hunter. I mean, Yu Yu Hakusho is not a really complicated manga, it's amazing and all, but it's complexity is nowhere near HxH, that's why it didn't have to suffer any hiatus. It ended in a rushed way because Togashi STARTED to make it more complicated, thus, he needed more time, and the WSJ wasn't going to take it, you know the rest probably. After that unfortunate case, I guess Togashi made some sort of deal with the WSJ so he can take as much time as he needs, that's why it hasn't been cancelled nor axed yet. I believe -or want to believe-, before these long hiatuses, he had the story more or less easiliy thought, until he reached a point he needed to think it more thoroughly.
