Currently, the storyline focuses on the Succession Contest Arc, which takes place aboard the massive ship Black Whale. The narrative centers on intense political conflict, ingenious Nen tactics, and deadly battles among the princes of the Kakin Empire, involving Kurapika and the criminal group known as the Phantom Troupe. Notably, a major surprise occurred in Chapter 414, as iconic protagonists Gon and Killua finally reappeared after a years-long absence from the main storyline.
One of the fans' biggest concerns is the continued release of the story. Addressing these concerns, Togashi has been actively sharing progress updates via his personal X (Twitter) account.
He confirmed that he has completed story drafts extending dozens of chapters into the future (beyond Chapter 420). This substantial stockpile of manuscripts has been carefully prepared to ensure consistent manga publication over an extended period, avoiding sudden, unplanned hiatuses.
