Oh, Hunter x Hunter where do I even begin. I believe this is the greatest work of fiction I have EVER laid my eyes upon. Matter of fact I’m mad that I read this series since I still haven’t found anything I like as much as this series. If I could, I would rate this 11/10 but sadly that is not an option. So why is Hunter x Hunter so good?


Characters 10/10
Side characters are great and have depth, unlike many other series out today. Main characters: Super well written (Out of the main 4 Leorio does have the least development). I really like Gon and ... Killua and they have amazing character development, but I’m really happy with Kurapika’s development and depth as a character (Especially with the manga right now). Even the villains are perfect in this series, The Phantom Troupe might be the best villain group in any series I’ve ever read, to the point that their backstory really makes me feel for them and I view them as more than villains, but as actual PEOPLE. The Chimera Ant arc has you confused on who the heroes and who the villains really are, it makes you question who you're rooting for and blurs the lines between good and evil.


Artwork 10/10
Many people won’t agree because it is inconsistent at points, but the drawing in this series are some of the MOST impactful drawings I’ve ever seen in a manga. The change in art style goes along perfectly with the change of tone throughout different scenes and captures emotion well. On top of that fights are illustrated clearly so that they are easy to follow.


Story 10/10
This is my favorite part of the series, the plot twists, the different arcs, how everything develops. The different arcs are so different, but they all work so well together and are all perfect to me, I’m especially liking the current arc in the manga. Nen as a power system is easily the best power system in any Shonen I have ever read. The fights are also amazing and have reason and motivation behind them, which is something that many series have a problem with. With this series I am constantly looking to see what happens next. Some people don’t like the text heaviness of the series, but this mainly occurs in the chapters proceeding 360. The text is important since it enriches the story, gives in depth explanations and I enjoy it since I feel that I get more out of those chapters.


Only problem this series has is EXTENDED hiatus due to authors poor health and not yet being finished.


So would I recommend this: 100%

Everyone should read Hunter x Hunter or maybe watch the anime since that is perfect too. My favorite work of fiction. Best manga/anime of all time. Can’t wait for the next chapters.
