I think the main problem is that the several years multiple hiatus happened during this arc. As far as HxH goes this arc is subpar when compares to the previous ones. the Yorkshin arc was amazing due to the spiders being likable characters and the overall mafia underworld setting. The Greed island introduced a magic element along with strategics battles that requires resources stocking. This arc has just been a tons of fight.

For years we've been stuck with the countdown to the final battle, with each chapter just progressing 5 seconds.
Still, I want to get this over with and I want to see Gon exploring more of the world and hopefully looking for his Dad.
No word on how long it will be.
two down. now just get rid of the one nobody liked.
oh, hiatus first?
sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
I've never been a fan of this arc.
I agree, it would be awesome to get past here and see him explore and look for his dad.
HxH and hiatus just seems natural, like Berserk.
Forgot to post this yesterday....
Source: Hunter X Hunter Manga Resumes in Shonen Jump in AugustThis year's 30th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine is confirming on Monday that Yoshihiro Togashi will resume his Hunter X Hunter manga in the magazine in August. Togashi has put his manga series on hiatus since last June. More details will be provided in future issues of the magazine.
good news!
maybe this arc will end before I die...
actually, pretty excited about this.
I wonder how long he will keep it up this time. Hopefully he has the ant king arc planned out in full.
Awesome, it's been a while since I've read any manga since work has gotten quite busy as of late (and I used to do most of my manga reading at work), but hopefully I can restart soon. Very much looking forward to this one.
Not sure where else to post this

Awesome, so anime viewers will now be able to enjoy this 6+ years arc with long hiatus in between cliffhangers.
I guess they felt that not enough people were enjoying the long hiatus.
anybody willing to guess when the first ova bunch will end?
with the king's birth or before?

Does anyone actually remember the order of events?
let's see what I can recall.
Kaito (I think it's his name), getting to see some new bugs and animals.
getting in NGL, the queen starts eating stuff.
ants eat up the guy with the bees, discover better nen.
some fighting against the ants.
Kaito bites it, Killua and Gon escape.
Gon and Killua meet with Bisuquit, Emo-girl, and the two guys.
they all go into ant land.
king is born, queen dies, the other ants start acting like kings themselves.
some fighting between small ants.
the ants try to kill 5,000,000 people, gon and killua try to stop them.
the bunch invades the king's palace, fighting starts.
we're still there, somewhere. some people jumped in and new characters joined, but that's it.
edit: I've re-read it...
so far, things have been pretty shit for the good guys. and Togashi is obsessed with his daughter.
many hiatuss between.

radiation poisoning... in a matter of hours...

good to see the story back
Come on Gon, show up and kick Merium's ass already.
