After more than a year of waiting, Shonen Jump+’s official website announced that Yoshihiro Togashi is resuming his Hunter x Hunter manga in the Ankoku Tairiku (Dark Continent) arc. This year’s 16th issue of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine will reveal more details on Saturday.

The manga has been on hiatus since 2014’s combined 37th/38th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump in August 2014. What was initially a two-week hiatus for serious lower back pain has extended due to health issues until now.

Hunter x Hunter is a manga series by Yoshihiro Togashi. The series started in 1998 and is published in Shueisha’s weekly Shonen Jump Magazine. To date the series has a total of 32 volumes. Yoshihiro Togashi placed the manga on hiatus in March 2012 after setting the record for longest run without breaks, without any news of when the manga will return. The series received an anime adaptation in 1999 from Nippon Animation that ended in 2001, followed by a series of OVAs. A new animated series relaunched in 2011 from Madhouse, retelling the series from the start. Madhouse also produced two animated films, which released in 2013. There has also been two musicals based on the series, and a slew of video games have been released from Konami and Bandai Namco.
