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.

    Everybody's saying 'Why did the cops just stand outside??? Why didn't they do anything?' without taking into consideration that the shooter could have been a Nazi chud. Like, why would the police want to kill a nazi? Think motherfucker.

      That’s my answer too. They didn’t stop him because they share his ideology. This wasn’t some sort of procedural fuckup or cowardice, it was active aiding and abetting, because they agree with the shooter. They are on the same team.

      What's surprising is how many people still don't understand what the cops are and what they're for.

      Apparently the cop who actually broke down the door and shot the shooter was an off duty Border patrol cop. Now, first; I do not have independent confirmation of this and I am speculating based on incomplete information, but;

      Originally they made it sound like they waited for the city cop SWAT team to show up and the SWAT team broke in and killed the guy

      Then it sounded like they waited and a border patrol BORTAC team showed up and killed the guy.

      But now it kinda sounds like it was just one rando Border Patrol cop who happened to be in the area? What the ENTIRE FUCK?
