FINALLY!!!!!!
It has been released, and it's about bloody time. I've waited a full year nearly for this next volume and it was good. (Could have been better, but let's not get into that right now.)
The story was excelent as always and I love the way that Yoshihiro Togashi writes his stories. It's so mind heavy, it forces you to think in order to fully appreceate the trials and dilemmas that each character faces. He doesn't just focus on the events of the main character, Gon. He really immerses the reader in the happenings of the world itself, and drops various hints of future events and story lines.
Buy this series, support your manga!
Oh, and read Yu Yu Hakusho because he did just as good of a job with that series as well.
(P.S. It ends differently as opposed to the anime.)
