By the end of his middle school career, he has persuaded some friends to join him on a team so they can compete in a tournament. Generally, I think it’s okay to leave the illustrations to someone else."Haikyuu!!," with its impeccably animated and long-drawn-out volleyball matches, shonen-style storylines, and deep characterizations of a whole cadre of interesting characters, is a well-loved sports anime that's been around since 2014.

I think there are two types of readers: those who don’t care if I draw my stories or not, and those who want to read a manga written and illustrated directly by me.

Even if a Hunter x Hunter chapter has not been released for more than 800 days, it remains a very difficult decision for the master whether to continue working alone on the manga or whether to rely on someone else, at least as regards the drawings. In an old interview, dating back to 2017, Togashi revealed that he was aware of those opinions of fans who were pressing to move him away from the drawings and focus only on the story. The master, in fact, has always done everything by himself, from the writing of the story to the drawings, all without the help of any assistant. The serialization of Hunter x Hunter it is something that unfortunately will never go back to being regular, at least not with the current work plan of its author, Yoshihiro Togashi.
