After one of manga’s most agonising waits, Chapter 411 of Yoshihiro Togashi’s HUNTER×HUNTER is finally here — available to read right now on Manga Plus<\/a> and Viz Media’s Shonen Jump<\/a>, completely free. The chapter lands in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 31 (dated June 29, 2026), ending a 567-day hiatus that kicked off when Chapter 410 was serialised in December 2024. For Singapore fans who grew up with Gon and Killua, this return feels like more than just a new chapter — it’s a small miracle.<\/p>\n

The Long Wait Ends — What to Expect from Chapter 411<\/h2>\n

Chapter 411 resumes the Succession Contest Arc<\/strong>, the manga’s most complex and politically layered storyline yet. The action is set entirely aboard the Black Whale, a colossal ship where Kakin’s royal princes — each backed by Nen-powered bodyguards and hidden agendas — are fighting a secret war for the empire’s throne. Kurapika is deep undercover, attempting to protect a royal infant while managing his own deteriorating Nen condition. The Phantom Troupe lurks somewhere on the vessel, and Hisoka — who adorns the cover of the upcoming Volume 39 — has his own blood-soaked plans in motion.<\/p>\n

The chapter ships with colour pages<\/strong>, a rare treat in Weekly Shonen Jump typically reserved for a series’ most significant moments. That alone signals just how much Shueisha wants this return to land right.<\/p>\n

Togashi Has a Buffer — And It’s Real This Time<\/h2>\n

For the many fans who feared this would be another single-chapter cameo before another disappearance, there’s genuine cause for optimism. Togashi has confirmed via his X account that he has completed inking through Chapter 421<\/strong>, meaning at least 11 unpublished chapters are already sitting in the vault. Shueisha has been clear, however, that HUNTER×HUNTER will not<\/strong> return to a traditional weekly schedule — the cadence stays flexible to protect the author’s health. Togashi has battled chronic back ailments since the 1990s, and the irregular release pattern is the price of keeping one of manga’s most ambitious series alive at all.<\/p>\n

One of the most enduring facts in the manga world: his wife is Naoko Takeuchi<\/a>, creator of Sailor Moon, who has been a key support through every hiatus. Two icons of the artform, propping each other up.<\/p>\n

Volume 39 “Negotiation” Arrives July 3<\/h2>\n

If you’ve been holding off to read the Succession Contest Arc in collected form, the timing is perfect. Volume 39, titled “Negotiation,”<\/strong> goes on sale in Japan on July 3, 2026<\/strong> — just four days away. It collects Chapters 401 through 410 (208 pages, ¥572 including tax) and puts Hisoka front and centre on the cover. An English edition through Viz Media is expected to follow at the standard rolling release window. Check with your local bookshop stocking Japanese import manga or hobby stores for availability; for the English tankobon, online pre-orders through major book retailers are your best bet.<\/p>\n

How Singapore Fans Can Read Chapter 411 for Free<\/h2>\n

You don’t need to pay anything to read Chapter 411 right now. Manga Plus by Shueisha<\/a><\/strong> provides free global access to the first and latest chapters of all their titles — no account required. A paid Manga Plus subscription unlocks the full archive if you want to binge the previous 410 chapters. Viz Media’s Shonen Jump subscription is the other official route. Both are available to Singapore readers with no geo-restriction.<\/p>\n

For a manga that has tested its fanbase’s patience like no other, Chapter 411 arriving with 11 chapters already banked, colour pages, and Volume 39 just days away is about as good a return as anyone had a right to expect. The hunt is back on.<\/p>\n
