The chapters of the Hunter × Hunter manga series are written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi and first published by Shueisha in the Japanese magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump. The first chapter was published on March 2, 1998, with subsequent chapters released with intermittent breaks ranging from one to seven weeks. However, starting in February 2006, the breaks increased dramatically in length, after which time a set of at least 10 chapters would be released. For more information, see the production section on the main article.
An anime adaptation of the series was produced by Nippon Animation and aired on Fuji Television for 62 episodes from October 16, 1999 to March 31, 2001. The TV series is based only on the first 11 volumes of the manga, as frequent delays in the publication of the manga and an unwillingness to produce low quality "filler" episodes resulted in a lack of content. Three DVD OVA series were produced by Nippon Animation, adapting subsequent chapters of the manga up to Chapter 185. A new Hunter × Hunter anime adaptation was announced in July 2011. Instead of continuing the story from the OVA series, it restarted the story from the beginning of the manga in an attempt to adapt it more accurately. The series was produced by Madhouse and aired on Nippon Television for 148 episodes from October 2, 2011 to September 24, 2014.
The current manga chapters have been compiled into 38 tankōbon volumes in Japan by Shueisha. The first tankōbon was released on June 4, 1998, the most recent on September 4, 2024.
In English, Hunter × Hunter is licensed for publication by Viz Media as a part of their Shonen Jump Advanced line of graphic novels aimed at older teenagers (age 16+). However, this imprint has since been dropped, and all reprinted volumes no longer have the "Shonen Jump Advanced" logo. The first English volume was released on April 5, 2005, the most recent on October 3, 2023.
