The volume's release confirms that Togashi is still producing new material despite the series' irregular pace, and the gap between volumes has not widened compared to the previous interval.

Shueisha will publish the 39th volume of Yoshihiro Togashi's Hunter x Hunter manga on July 3, 2026, marking the first new volume in 22 months since Volume 38 shipped in September 2024. Volume 39 collects chapters 401 to 410, which were serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from issue 45 of 2024 through issue 2 of 2025. The manga has been on an irregular release schedule since December 2022, when Shueisha announced it would move away from weekly serialization. Togashi has provided updates on his X account, revealing in late May 2026 that he completed the manuscript for Chapter 421. The author underwent surgery in 2024 and has been drafting storyboards for additional chapters. Viz Media released the English edition of Volume 38 in January 2026. The Hunter x Hunter franchise also saw two game releases in 2025 and 2026: the fighting game Nen x Impact and the survival roguelike Nen x Survivor. A third stage play adaptation covering the Greed Island Arc ran in Tokyo and Osaka in mid-2025.
The volume will be available for pre-order at ¥572 (~$3.60) on Amazon and Rakuten, both of which support international shipping, though the cover art has not yet been revealed. Togashi shared on his X account in April 2026 that he had penned the characters for Chapter 430, and in late May he finished the manuscript for Chapter 421. The manga went on hiatus in January 2023 due to health issues, and Shueisha stated at the time that it consulted with Togashi and decided the series should not follow a weekly serialized format going forward.
Two new Hunter x Hunter games have released since the last volume: the 2D 3v3 fighting game Nen x Impact from Bushiroad Games and Eighting launched worldwide on July 17, 2025 for PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, and the survival roguelike Nen x Survivor launched for iOS and Android on February 17, 2026. The third stage play adaptation, Hunter x Hunter The Stage 3, ran in May and June 2025 in Tokyo and Osaka, covering the Greed Island Arc.
Two merchandise collaborations are also underway. A collaboration with apparel brand Graniph will release 20 items themed around the Greed Island Arc, including T-shirts, parkas, and pouches featuring Gon, Killua, Hisoka, and the Phantom Troupe, available for pre-order until June 1 and in stores from June 2. A separate collaboration with budget store Thank You Mart will offer 33 items at 429 yen each, including tote bags, cushions, T-shirts, and random badge sets, with in-store sales starting in late June and online pre-orders opening June 2.
