Unfortinaley Hunter X Hunter is over forever. The Mangaka said it is a wrap. He was sickly & took so many breaks even when the Manga was up & running, but finally I think Shonen pulled the plug on him due to he never could deliver his Manga in a timely manner. smh Sux too because HxH is part of the big 5 along with Bleach, Naurto, Dragonball Z, One Piece. ='(  At least we still have the Final Arc of Bleach to look foward too! The Manga I think will end in the fall 2016 at chapter 700. Chapter 656 drops in a few hours. So not too much left if Kubo stays on schedule. The Manga is still doing very well for not having an anime as it sells around 3 Million copies (top 18-21) every year (also top 5-13 weekly in Japan) since the anime ended in March of 2012. I expect the 1000 Year Blood War Arc Anime to drop in 2017.

Hm, do you have a source for that? I read a blurb on /a/ a few months ago that claimed Togashi had drafted a lot of the new arc, but was still recovering from his back injury. No idea if it was legit or not. I read that he negotiated a really lenient contract with Shueisha, which is why he's able to take so many breaks, but I wouldn't be suprised if he'd finally burned out. He's kind of a control freak from what I gather, which isn't a good trait to have in such a demanding industry.

I haven't read Bleach in a while, it seems like it's really been dragging on lately. The new villains just seem so uninteresting compared to the Arrancar and Aizen. It just feels like non-stop fights with little to no real character development, which is something Kubo used to be fantastic at. I still plan to finish it, but I really hope it picks up again.

No idea if that's positive or not for volume sales, but Jump readers haven't been rating Bleach very highly lately; I'm pretty sure it was at the bottom of the last poll they ran. Not sure I'd really include it with the big 3/5 anymore...seems like Toriko and Assassination Classroom have passed it quite handily in Jump manga rankings.
