Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated 3d ago

HUNTER×HUNTER returned to the spotlight in July 2026 when Volume 39 hit number one on Billboard JAPAN's JAPAN Book Hot 100 chart, beating One Piece Volume 115 and a new Haruki Murakami novel. The chart, launched in November 2025, aggregates physical sales, e-book downloads, library lending, and other data. Volume 39 includes chapters 401-410 and features Hisoka on the cover alone for the first time. The volume's strong performance marks the series' first new release after a long hiatus.

Leading up to the volume's release, two major merchandise collaborations appeared. Apparel brand Graniph launched a 20-item line themed around the Greed Island arc on June 2, 2026. The collection includes T-shirts, hoodies, shorts, underwear, socks, caps, and bags, with designs referencing specific moments and items from the arc. Key pieces include a half-sleeve hoodie depicting Gon, Killua, and Hisoka's dodgeball team-up, a shirt based on Biscuit's combat training, and boxer briefs patterned with G.I. cards. Prices range from 1,200 yen for socks to 6,900 yen for shorts and shirts. Advance web reservations began on May 27, and some items sold out quickly.

Bandai Spirits released an Ichiban Kuji lottery centered on the Zoldyck family on May 22. Prizes include plush toys of Killua and Alluka, MASTERLISE figures of Zeno, Silva, Killua, and Alluka, and a Last One Prize figure of the family guard dog Mike. The lottery shifts focus from the main cast to the Zoldyck family, giving fans a rare chance to own a figure of Mike, who had never been a prize before. Together, these releases show the series maintaining strong commercial momentum through both its core manga and licensed merchandise.
