what dread hand

The world is ending.

You can tell I'm excited about it, though, because I already made a category for it and fully intend to blog about it every week.

Yes, every week. Including the obligatory "there wasn't any HxH this week" entries.

Wait, does this mean I'll need to go back and re-read the Chimera Ant arc? I'm not sure I could find it, I don't think all of it have been collected to tankobon? All I remember is that ... uh ... Kite died and ... the queen died and ... the king was born ... I guess? Oh right, the king was born and flew away to eat his way through people with nen to ... get their, uh ... powers.

...

WAIT WHY DOES EVERYTHING LEAD BACK TO SYLAR.

(Except in HxH we see them eat it.)

I'm honestly infinitely more interested in Kuroro's storyline, not because I'm a fan but because it'll most probably involve Hisoka. Pick it up, Togashi! Pick it uuuuup! And oh yeah, while you're at it, Leorio. Y'know, the tall one. Yeah, that guy. Remember him?

After a hiatus of one year and nearly six months, Togashi Yoshihiro returns to the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump. I can't really decide if he wanted to, or was persuaded to, or if he got better (in his head), or if it's just some odd whim, but at any rate, I read it.

Short version: I have no idea what the fuck is going on. Where's my volume 24?

Long version: Dude, that girl is FUGLY. Leave it to Togashi to take the cliché of the little blind girl who is the only one able to get close to the big scary villain, and give her SYBROWS. And a running nose. What the hell? I love you, Togashi. Aside that, no, I still have no idea what's going on.

They promise in a blurb on the cover page that HxH will be in the magazine for the next ten (ten!) weeks, so I suppose they have enouh stock for one more volume. I honestly think they should just let Togashi draw to publish directly as tankobon, but I suppose he still sells magazines. Good luck, Togashi!
