About the how-to-draw-manga guide Jump Ayu: it was more
difficult than | thought to draw while answering questions from
someone behind me. | probably sounded like an idiot because
my responses were so slow. Please, have a heart.

Yoshihiro Togashi

Yoshihiro Togashi’s manga career began in 1986 at the age of 20, when
he won the coveted Osamu Tezuka Award for new manga artists. He
debuted in the Japanese Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1989
with the romantic comedy Tende Showaru Cupid. From 1990
to 1994 he wrote and drew the hit manga YuYu Hakusho, which
was followed by the dark comedy science-fiction series Level E, and
finally this adventure series, Hunter x Hunter, available from VIZ
Media’s SHONEN JUMPAdvanced imprint. In 1999 he married the
manga artist Naoko Takeuchi.

Hunters are a special breed, dedicated to tracking down treasures, magical

beasts, and even other people. But such pursuits require a license, and
less than one in a hundred thousand can pass the grueling
qualification exam. Those who do pass gain access to
restricted areas, amazing stores of information, and
the right to call themselves Hunters.

THREATS
The journey to the Dark Continent begins! Chairman
Netero’s son Beyond has a dream to explore the
dangerous land of the Dark Continent. Many
have made trips there and almost everyone has
disappeared or died! But he’s not alone in his
desire to explore this strange land—the Hunter
Association has their own plan. And where do
Gon and his friends fit into all this mess?
