Hunter x Hunter is back. Yoshihiro Togashi’s legendary manga returns to Weekly Shonen Jump on 29 June 2026 with Chapter 411 — ending an 18-month serialisation break that started after Chapter 410 appeared in December 2024.
When and Where to Read Chapter 411
Chapter 411 lands in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #31 on Monday, 29 June in Japan. For Singapore readers and everyone else in Southeast Asia, Shueisha’s free digital platform Manga Plus will carry it a day earlier — catchable for free from 28 June, with no subscription or region lock required.
Alongside the chapter return is a centre colour spread, celebrating both the serialisation resumption and the release of Volume 39 (“Negotiation”), which hits Japan shelves on 3 July 2026.
The Succession War Picks Up
The official preview from Jump’s editorial team sets the stage: “A royal succession battle surrounded by malice! The battle for the throne intensifies! What will Kurapika and his allies do…?!”
Chapter 411 continues the Succession Contest Arc aboard the enormous Black Whale, where several parallel plotlines are converging simultaneously — Kurapika’s dangerous prince-bodyguard assignment, the Phantom Troupe’s own agenda on the ship, and the scheming Heil-Ly Family all pressing toward a flashpoint at once.
Togashi Has a Deep Bench Ready
The most reassuring detail for fans burned by past hiatuses: Togashi’s backlog is substantial. Manuscripts through Chapter 421 are complete and waiting, with several of those carrying additional colour pages. That is at least ten new chapters already lined up after the comeback issue. For Chapter 420 onward, Togashi has asked fans to watch for timing announcements from the Jump editorial department.
Togashi, who manages a chronic back condition that has repeatedly interrupted the series, offered a brief message with the announcement: “I’m receiving tons of motivation to keep pushing from my wife” — a reference to the support of Naoko Takeuchi (creator of Sailor Moon and Togashi’s partner), as reported in coverage of the return announcement.
Last Words
For Singapore fans, the setup is ideal: Manga Plus is free, fully accessible here, and delivers each chapter the moment it drops — no VPN, no subscription. Mark 28 June in your calendar.
The English-language tankobon of Volume 39 via Viz Media does not yet have a confirmed local release date, but with the manga back on a regular schedule, that announcement should follow. For now, Togashi is delivering — and after 18 months, that is more than enough.
