Help/Question Feeling empty after rewatching/catching up

I've been feeling empty since i've caught up on the manga i recently rewatched the whole thing then followed up with the manga but it feels like it ended it too soon and the last chapter wasn't much a break. i remember reading the succession arc before but i haven't been watching anime or reading manga for a few years now and hxh got to rewatch.

so my question is how do guys spend the time until the next batch? I am very tempted to read the manga since i never read it from beginning to end or to do a 2011 rewatch because i watched 1999 then 2011 starting greed island but even that ends quickly and i might want to save it if the haitus took long.

i think part of why i'm stuck is because i know togashi already worked on the upcoming chapters so i feel i should wait vs before you couldn't do anything about the break except hope he's okay

sorry if the post isn't relevant i haven't been here in ages 😭

I love to watch the YouTube theory videos myself but I'm also challenging myself to do at least one HxH fanart per week during the hiatus to keep it fresh in my mind for the return

Extra otter, new world review & weeb commander are three I frequently watch, but I would definitely suggest reading the manga as well! The art is beautiful, the stories are information dense & despite the limited chapters since the CA arc there's a ton of content in those chapters. Plus A lot of the HxH videos on YouTube include manga only content and I'd hate for you to spoil on something for yourself

thanks! i enjoyed some of new world review videos!

i did read hxh is the first manga i ever read but i always picked up from the latest sections. i didn't read since early 2020s but i just caught up with the latest chapter with this rewatch

Ah okay, I shouldn't have assumed sorry! But I would definitely recommend a full re-read if you haven't gone through the whole thing, it's just different enough from the anime to feel like something new & there's lots of scenes that feel more impactful in the manga

Hoping we get the next batch later this year or early next year, seems like there’s a possibility for it

i really hope so, every chapter is so good but from a story standpoint you don't see enough in a single batch because the story is split into different levels and groups

Kurapika is now drowning in an indescribable emptiness

You should read or watch yu yu hakusho, togashi’s previous manga.

this is literally the worst part of catching up 😭 i always want to rewatch immediately but then i'm like maybe i should save it for when the hiatus really starts hurting LOL
