HUNTER×HUNTER returned to the top of Japanese book charts in July 2026 when Volume 39, released July 3, ranked number one on Billboard JAPAN's JAPAN Book Hot 100 for the June 29-July 5 period. The volume, which contains chapters 401-410, outsold One Piece Volume 115 and Haruki Murakami's new novel. The chart, launched in November 2025, aggregates physical sales, e-book downloads, library lending, and other data. Volume 39 also marked the first time Hisoka appeared alone on the cover.
Merchandise tied to the series has been rolling out through 2026. Banpresto, under BANDAI SPIRITS, released a Killua Godspeed prize figure as part of the HUNTING ARCHIVES line, scheduled to appear at crane games starting August 4, 2026. The figure recreates Killua activating the Nen ability Godspeed, with spiky hair and arm effect parts, and includes an acrylic panel featuring the technique name. It stands approximately 20 centimeters tall, with the panel around 10 centimeters.
Earlier in the year, Bandai Spirits announced an Ichiban Kuji lottery centered on the Zoldyck family, releasing May 22, with plush toys and MASTERLISE figures of Zeno, Silva, Killua, and Alluka, plus a Last One Prize figure of the guard dog Mike. In May, apparel brand Graniph launched a 20-item Greed Island collaboration line on June 2, featuring T-shirts, hoodies, shorts, underwear, socks, caps, and bags with arc-specific designs, including a dodgeball team-up hoodie and G.I. card-patterned boxer briefs.
