Yoshihiro Togashi

Yoshihiro Togashi’s manga career began in 1986 at the age of 20, when
he won the coveted Osamu Tezuka Award for new manga artists. He
debuted in the Japanese Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1989
with the romantic comedy Tende Showaru Cupid. From 1990
to 1994 he wrote and drew the hit manga YuYu Hakusho, which
was followed by the dark comedy science-fiction series Level E, and
finally this adventure series, Hunter x Hunter, available from VIZ
Media’s SHONEN JUMPAdVvanced imprint. In 1999 he married the
manga artist Naoko Takeuchi.

VOL. 34: BATTLE TO

THE DEATH: END.
WHAT I WANTED TO DO MOST WAS TO HAVE
HIM KILL SOMEONE IN THE TROUPE. I KNEW
HOW THE STORY WAS GOING TO WORK OUT,
BUT I HADN’T DECIDED WHO HISOKA WOULD
KILL AT THE END. HISOKA WANTED TO KILL
MACHI THEN AND THERE, BUT I VETOED IT.
TO LEAD INTO THE VOYAGE ARC, I NEEDED A
MESSENGER TO DELIVER THE NEWS TO THE
OTHER TROUPE MEMBERS. HE KILLED KORTOPI
AND SHALNARK AS PART OF HIS POST-MORTEM
ANALYSIS OF HIS PERFORMANCE IN THE
FIGHT, AS WELL AS FOR REVENGE, AND I ALSO
WANTED TO SHOW HOW SERIOUS HISOKA
WAS THROUGH HIS COLD AND CALCULATING
JUDGMENT IN REDUCING CHROLLO’S ROSTER
OF ABILITIES...IS MY EXCUSE AFTER THE FACT.
IT WAS MY HUNCH THAT LETTING MACHI STICK
AROUND WOULD MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING
LATER ON.
THIS CAME UP IN MY JOINT INTERVIEW WITH
KISHIMOTO, BUT I HAVE A BLUEPRINT IN MY
HEAD WHEN I’M WRITING THE STORY, MEANING
I CAN PUT EVERYTHING INTO WORDS, AND
UPON ACTUALLY THINKING THINGS THROUGH,
I OFTEN COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT
FOLLOWING THE BLUEPRINT IS INDEED THE
INTERESTING PATH. BUT WHEN THE DISTANT
FUTURE IS STILL MURKY, WHO YOU CHOOSE TO
SAVE OR LET GO RELIES SOLELY ON INTUITION.
I HOPE I DON’T COME TO REGRET IT...
CHROLLO vs. HISOKA
THERE WERE SEVERAL THINGS I WANTED TO
DO WITH THIS BATTLE. FIRST AND FOREMOST,
THE FIGHT ITSELF. I LOVE STORIES WHERE THE
ENEMIES OF THE PROTAGONISTS FIGHT EACH
OTHER. ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING ONES
WAS WHEN TOSAMARU HIGH SCHOOL PLAYED
BENKE! HIGH SCHOOL IN THE BASEBALL MANGA
DOKABEN. I REALLY WANTED TO DO THAT KIND
OF THING IN MY MANGA.
I TOOK CARE TO LET BOTH OF THEM SHOW
THEIR MANHOOD AND ALSO PORTRAY A CLEAR,
DECISIVE OUTCOME~WHILE FUN, A TOUGH
THING TO DO.
THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO DO
WAS HAVE SOMEONE SAY __,/
“TLL WIN 100 PERCENT” a ~
AND THEN REALLY DO IT. Oe
THE GUY WHO SAYS SOMETHING
LIKE THAT? GENERALLY LOSES.
I REFERRED TO THE ATTITUDE
ESPOUSED BY THE SWORDSMAN
KOGAN IWAMOTO.
SHIGURUI |S AWESOME!
 THE WORLD'S MOST
CUTTING-EDGE MANGA

Hunters are a special breed, dedicated to tracking

down treasures, magical beasts, and even other
people. But such pursuits require a license, and
less than one in a hundred thousand can pass the
grueling qualification exam. Those who do pass
gain access to restricted areas, amazing stores of
information, and the righttocall themselves Hunters.

BATTLE TO THE DEATH

It's the fight everyone's been waiting for—Hisoka
versus Chrollo! Robbed of his chance to fight Chrollo
before, Hisoka’s been itching to take on the former
leader of the Phantom Troupe for a long time, and
that day has finally come. With both combatants
armed with incredible powers, it’s a thrilling
battle that defies the imagination! Find out
which of these two titans wins!
