Hunter x Hunter

by Yoshihiro Togashi

An adventure manga following Gon as he becomes a Hunter to find his father. With complex characters, intricate plot layers, and battles that feel earned rather than gratuitous, Hunter x Hunter sets itself apart in the shonen genre.

Geek’s cut

Comic-book storytelling with the density of a good tech spec: every panel doing double duty, every line of dialogue carrying lore, emotion, or both.

Deeper dive

Yoshihiro Togashi crafts a masterpiece about ambition, friendship, and the cost of power. The series begins as a straightforward adventure but evolves into something far more complex, with incredible character development and world-building. From the Hunter Exam to the Dark Continent arc, each saga introduces deeper moral questions and more formidable challenges, making it one of manga's most celebrated works.
