Hunter × Hunter (ハンター×ハンター, Hantā Hantā), pronounced "Hunter Hunter", is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi. It has been serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine since March 16, 1998, although the manga has frequently gone on extended hiatuses since 2006. As of November 2019, 392 chapters have been collected into 37 tankōbon volumes (chapter collections) by Shueisha in Japan. The story focuses on a young boy named Gon Freecss, who discovers that his father, who he was told had left him at a young age, is actually a world renowned Hunter, a licensed profession for those who specialize in, but are not limited to, fantastic pursuits such as locating rare or unidentified animal species, treasure hunting, surveying unexplored enclaves, or hunting down lawless individuals. Despite being abandoned by his father, Gon departs upon a journey to follow in his footsteps, pass the rigorous Hunter Exam, and eventually find his father. Along the way, Gon meets various other Hunters, including main cast members Kurapika, Leorio, and Killua, and also encounters the paranormal. The original inspiration for the manga came from Togashi's own collecting hobby.

After a four-year hiatus, Hunter x Hunter, Yoshihiro Togashi joined Twitter on Monday and appeared to tease 4 new chapters of the series.

    If your recipe calls for half an onion, i'm sorry, I'm just using the whole onion. Otherwise I need to save half an onion, remember I have it, and plan a whole meal around using it. My life simply isn't put together enough for all that. :shrug-outta-hecks:

      That’s less a problem because literally everything calls for onion.
      I would just use the whole onion because onions are good.

      But you can save the half onion and cook the same thing again to use up the onion!

      If your recipe calls for half an onion I just assume you have bad taste and add an entire onion because onions are yummy

      So I used to be like you comrade, but now I save the onion half to put into the rice cooker. Rice + 1/3 an onion + butter = very delicious rice.

        Pls elaborate do you put it in while cooking the rice? Raw onion or cooked? That sounds goooood

          Raw onion, just put it in the rice cooker with the water and butter. I use this with pretty much any cuisine. It's just a nice comfy rice. I use the trader Joe's brown jasmine personally.

          If you want to go really nuts add a can of black beans that have been strained and then some frozen corn after it's halfway done. Some cheese and avocado with that is a great vegetarian meal.
