Hunter X Hunter Chapter 401 is going to be the newest installment of the popular manga but the fans will have to wait weeks if not months before the chapter is here to entertain them and show progress on the succession arc. Hunter X Hunter manga came back to the weekly Shonen Jump Magazine after a 4 year of hiatus due to the author’s health condition.
Yoshihiro Togashi’s health condition has always been an issue since the start of the series. The author has made comments about his health condition in Twitter posts and the editorial department of the Shuesia has also commented on the author’s health getting worse in the past four years leading to very intense back and shoulder pain that made the author’s daily life activity impossible let alone working.
Nevertheless, fans were blessed with the new content of Hunter X Hunter as the manga came back from the hiatus in the fall of 2022, releasing 10 chapters weekly without any breaks. Yoshihiro Togashi has been working on the chapters since the middle of this year to bring new content to the fans and show the progress of the succession arc which is likely to be the last arc of the series.
Hunter X Hunter Chapters 391 to 400 followed a weekly serialization in the weekly shonen’s Jump magazine in the fall of 2022 and now the manga goes on a break once to prioritize the author’s health condition. Thus, Hunter X Hunter Chapter 401 is delayed but comment from the author and the editorial department at the Shueisha publishing company has been made regarding the future of the series.
So, we will provide you with all the information we have at hand at this moment regarding Hunter X Hunter Chapter 401 in this article. With that being said, here is the status of the Hunter X Hunter manga and its newest chapter release information.
Hunter X Hunter Will Follow A New Routine Regarding the Release Of The New Chapters
With the release of the latest chapter of Hunter X Hunter along came a notice from the editorial department of Shueisha’s weekly shonen jump magazine informing the fans about the release of the new chapters and the future of the series.

Yoshihiro Togashi has always had a tough time keeping up with the tight schedule of the publication of the new chapters of the series in Shueisha’s weekly shonen jump magazine which has led to the author’s health condition getting worse. Thus, the future of the series will follow a different release schedule for the new chapters of the series rather than the weekly serialization in the weekly shonen Jump magazine.
This possibly means that Hunter X Hunter will no longer be a part of Weekly Shonen Jump magazine much like the other shonen manga under Shueisha’s publication such as Dragon Ball Super and Boruto which are following a monthly release and Spy X Family, Chainsaw Man, and Kaiju no. 8 which follows a bi-weekly release.
The note also mentions that the comment regarding the future serialization of Hunter X Hunter will be made in the new issue of Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. We are predicting the announcement for the future of the serialization will be made in one of the issues of releasing January.
Hunter X Hunter Chapter 401 Predictions
Once the Hunter X Hunter Chapter 401 is set to release it will likely continue to the current arc where fans can expect to see the other major character of this arc, Kurapika in all his glory. The succession arc features a lot of different plots, one being where the Troupe is ready to fight Hisoka and the other being Kurapika on the mission to recover his clan’s eyes.
In the latest chapter, we saw Kurapika collaborating with Tubeppa Hui Guo Rou, the fifth Kakin prince. It will be very interesting to see why Kurapika decided to join the fifth prince rather than directly going after the fourth Kakin who is rumored to have the eyes Kurapika intends to recover.
We will surely be making a new article regarding the release of Hunter X Hunter Chapter 401 once we have new details regarding it. Until then you can read the latest three chapters of Hunter X Hunter on Viz Media and Manga Plus for free.
