53 chapters

the plan is 53 chapters.... does not include random scenarios as illness, etc...

that is my bet

Thing is though, Togashi always goes on hiatus with the explanation of illness, so you can't really say "53 chapters but illness doesn't count". Akito already set a time period of at least 5 weeks of no serialization = hiatus.

Hunter X Hunter Betting Pool
Let's celebrate the joyous news of Hunter x Hunter's return by betting on how many chapters we'll get before Togashi returns to his true passion, again.

- Anyone can place a bet here in this thread.
- Deadline is before the first chapter hits in June I guess.
- Winner will be the one who came the closest to the actual number of chapters released before the series goes into a new hiatus again (>5 weeks, double issues not included)
- If there would be no more hiatus cause Tagashi will finish this time, free beer and hookers for everybody.
- If you get the number exactly right, you can choose the name for the OT afterwards and place 5 series of your choice on the top 10 banner in that OT, otherwise you have to choose between the two.
- No pain no gain, anyone who didn't win will have to use an avatar of their choice from Nisekoi for exactly the amount of days their bet was off, i.e. 25 days when the bet was 50 but the series goes into hiatus after 25 chapters.

Man, this sucks. I shouldn't have revealed my math. I could have had the top 10 banner all for myself! Oh well at least if it's only Kuwabara we would have 5 each.

40

 

[scy]

Imagine HxH not having hiatuses until its ending that would be 3-4 years from now ;___;

I don't have that good of an imagination.

 

[Otakumegane]

You ain't seen nothing yet.

Are you the one scanning this? If so really appreciate what you do.

 

[kasane]

HxH gets cancelled!

 

[TheRealTalker]

the upcoming chapter will be one page with just


"Welp thanks for the ride"


HXH ends

 

[Charade]

What happens in the event of a tie?

 

[A Huge Battleship]

Waratte! Sotomura-san 65 / Not Popular 58

Something major is going to happen in both of these. Something that will completely revolutionise the stories. Any day now.

So evil.

Should at least let me choose what Celeste avatar to use!

But I want to maximize your despair!

 

[LeleSocho]

What if HxH ends but another series starts to narrate the "new world" thing? A la Steel Ball Run.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I come in here and see people talking about HxH loads so I Google it and find out it's returning

Spoiler

If Berserk, HxH and Black Lagoon are all running at the same time the Universe will fucking explode

[ColossalLazy]

But it did.

 

[scy]

2014, we had a good run world.

New Black Lagoon volume cover

 

[kasane]

ok now thats something

thought author was too busy drawing doujins LOL

 

[Akito]

Are you the one scanning this? If so really appreciate what you do.

I was tricked by ManGAF into editing this

What happens in the event of a tie?

They need to sit together and discuss about it Battle Royale!

 

[Tacitus_]

New Black Lagoon volume cover

I have to say, I really like his drawing style.

 

[scy]

We're cruel like that.

 

[kasane]

akito kyun pls

 

[dakkumauji]

What happens in the event of a tie?

They guess they then guess the length of the next hiatus, lol.

But I want to maximize your despair!

You think I would have enough despair.

 

[Charade]

They need to sit together and discuss about it Battle Royale!

Well in that case...kasane vote 23 pls

One last technical question, in terms of someone being "closest" to the actual number of chapters, does it go both ways (above or below)? Or is it that if your number is passed you are out of the game? (Like if I vote 23, someone does 25, actual turns out to be 24. What happens?)

 

[Infinite Justice]

looking at your second post... you may be right
I read HXH before though.... just forgot about it and then re-read it again with the newer chapters

Seriously though its nice its coming back and hopefully it will be there for a while.

I have to say, I really like his drawing style.

he draws doujins also

 

[Tacitus_]

he draws doujins also

As in, porn?

 

[Infinite Justice]

As in, porn?

Yup, does non porn ones too but that's usually Black Lagoon stuff

 

[dakkumauji]

As in, porn?

Not all doujins are like that. Just the ones worth reading...or the ones we usually see on the web...

Yes.

Doujins done by the actual author confuse me for reasons I'm not sure why.

 

[kasane]

Doujins done by the actual author confuse me for reasons I'm not sure why.

cause doujins are doujins

wat

 

[Angry Grimace]

So you're telling me that Berserk is going to be running at the same time as Hunter X Hunter?

Bullshit. What are you gonna tell me next? Keiichi's gonna finally bang Belldandy?

 

[LeleSocho]

Doujins done by the actual author confuse me for reasons I'm not sure why.

'cause they are canon

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Yes, it's ending right?

 

[dakkumauji]

Doujins done by the actual author confuse me for reasons I'm not sure why.

It's letting them live out the fantasies they always had of the characters

 

[Infinite Justice]

Doujins done by the actual author confuse me for reasons I'm not sure why.

indeed. The non porn ones he does seems to be just art books most of the time.

he doesn't do porn ones of Black Lagoon though which might be that possible rule of the author not doing porn versions for their normal work.

So you're telling me that Berserk is going to be running at the same time as Hunter X Hunter?

Bullshit. What are you gonna tell me next? Keiichi's gonna finally bang Belldandy?

Apparently they are getting married so...

kinda yeah

Since we're talking about mangas that go on forever im surprised to see that pastel is still on going.

 

[Angry Grimace]

kinda yeah

 

[Infinite Justice]

its the internet mang, anyone could be dead serious.

kinda yeah

Are you really?

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Now all we need is Highschool of the Dead to return.

Doesn't even have to be for more than 5 chapters.

Just enough to finally kill off Rei.

I wish Kishimoto would do the same thing as the newest game is doing for Sasunaru.

Naruto has a face that screams out "Please kill me and don't bring me back as Ninja Jesus".

 

[Charade]

Yes.

Alrighty then, let's do this.

So you're telling me that Berserk is going to be running at the same time as Hunter X Hunter?

Well, Berserk's still got until June....who knows what could happen...

 

[Tacitus_]

Not all doujins are like that. Just the ones worth reading...or the ones we usually see on the web...

Yeah that's why I asked.

 

[Supaidaman]

Seems to be more like art books in this case.

plus he doesn't do porn ones to it though which apparently is in line with that possible rule of the author not doing porn versions for their normal work.

I only remember seeing one Black Lagoon doujin from Hiroe which was some weird artbook that imagined the characters as actors. There were details how Balalaika's actress used some sort of mask to be the scar, for instance.

The only author that needs to do a porn doujin about his own work is Inazuma.

 

[diaspora]

I... I just want more Black Lagoon chapters.

 

[dakkumauji]

Well, Berserk's still got until June....who knows what could happen...

THE iDOLM@STER ONE FOR ALL comes out in May so...

 

[kasane]

its the internet mang, anyone could be dead serious.




Are you really?

As per MU yes

 

[Turin Turambar]

ok now thats something

thought author was too busy drawing doujins LOL

/looks cover

Well, I hope he also draws some doujins with her!

 

[scy]

So with all these long-running series endings and stuff coming back and all this ... what are we going to complain about and make fun of?

 

[Save 'N Quit]

New Black Lagoon volume cover

Looks nice.

Can't recall the women but whatever.

Yea its basically just make-up and she has flawless skin otherwise (same with Revy's tattos and stuff).

Was a very interesting take of those characters tbh.

As per MU yes

its Pastel though so that shouldn't be surprising at all tbh.

i usually call it molasses instead

Welp, it was good while it lasted.

This implies they'll be around long enough for us to complain.

i dont even remember anybody aside from Revy

Welp, it was good while it lasted.
