Overview
- Shueisha published an official page and opened preorders on Monday for Hunter x Hunter Volume 39, listing a Japan release date of July 3, 2026 and retail price around ¥572.
- Publisher and retailer listings indicate the new tankōbon will collect the most recent ten-chapter batch, though some reports differ on whether the range is 401–410 or 400–410.
- Creator Yoshihiro Togashi has posted production updates showing work beyond the collected material, saying he inked through chapter 430 in April and finished manuscript work on chapter 421 in late May.
- In recent years Shueisha has released Hunter x Hunter in roughly ten-chapter 'drops' spaced by long pauses because Togashi manages output around chronic health issues, and publishers often time volume releases to coincide with magazine runs.
- For readers this means international preorders are already available and a magazine return is likely if Weekly Shonen Jump schedules the new chapters, so the next concrete step to watch is an official publication date from Jump editors.
