About HxHTracker
Who runs this site, why it exists, how the information is gathered, and the standards every page is held to. Short version: one independent fan, one obsession with a manga that refuses to make following it easy.
Why this site exists
Hunter x Hunter is one of the most acclaimed manga of all time, and following it has been one of the most frustrating hobbies imaginable. Between the multi-year hiatuses, the stop-and-go returns, and fourteen princes introduced mid-hiatus, staying current requires assembling information from a dozen scattered sources: Shueisha announcements, VIZ's calendar, fan wikis, and community forums that all say slightly different things.
HxHTracker collapses that into one place. The Is It Alive? page answers the status question in one glance. The catch-up tool exists because returning after a two-year gap shouldn't require three hours of wiki archaeology. The hiatus chronicle documents every break since 2006, because that history is part of the story. And the Succession War tracker treats the current arc's death game the way sports sites treat a league: standings, survival status, power rankings, updated chapter by chapter.
The site launched in 2026, at the start of the current weekly run, with one goal: be the page a returning fan opens first, every time.
How we gather information
Every date, chapter count, and announcement on this site is checked against official sources: Shueisha's Manga Plus announcements, VIZ Media's release calendar, and the Weekly Shonen Jump table of contents. We do not report leaks or rumor-bait as fact — when something is unconfirmed, we label it as expected or rumored, and when a break is announced, we cite the announcement.
Guides and recommendations are written from first-hand experience: the pacing advice, platform comparisons, and reread suggestions reflect years of actually reading this series through its hiatus cycles, not summaries of other people's summaries. When we express an opinion — and we do, clearly marked as opinion — it's a reader's opinion, not a publisher's talking point.
Editorial standards
- Updated every release day. The countdown, schedule, and chapter recaps are refreshed within hours of each new chapter and each official announcement.
- Dated, not vague. Every data page shows when it was last updated. If information changes, the page changes with it — no stale "current" claims.
- Official sources only. We link exclusively to legitimate reading platforms (Manga Plus, VIZ) and never host, embed, or link to pirated manga content.
- Spoilers with care. Tools like the catch-up guide default to light spoilers; anything arc-ending is clearly flagged before you read it.
- Independence. No publisher, retailer, or streaming service influences what we write. Recommendations are what we'd tell a friend.
Advertising and funding
HxHTracker is funded by display advertising served through Google AdSense. That's the entire business model — there is no paywall, no paid placements, no sponsored posts, and no affiliate links disguised as advice. The ads are what keep the trackers running; the editorial content is not written around them. If an advertiser's category ever seems inappropriate for a general-audience fan site, we'd rather lose the revenue than the trust.
