Hunter x Hunter? You must mean Hiatus x Hiatus.. Of course this isn't going to last. I'm betting he's going to pause again in less than 6 months! It's really such a shame. It's one of the best shounen manga out there.
The mangaka is often on medical leave due to his condition, it's not really his fault for the frequent hiatus. Hope that he can continually give us some high-quality chapters while his health lasts!
Oh, wow, I didn't know it was health related. I feel so bad now. I thought he was just lazy! Yes, I certainly hope he does his best then. I guess we can only be thankful for what we get! I'm sorry for my thoughtless post.
