I am currently reading *that arc* of #HunterxHunter. I'm at chapter 270 right now.

This is crazy, this #manga is crazy. How is it so good!?!?

I'm sorry but #JuJutsuKaisen doesn't compare, like, how did I miss this for so long?

I have completed the #ChimeraAntArc in #HunterxHunter, that was really something.

So. Now I'm on chapter 318 of the #manga :P

@amin @joel yeah that's the craziest thing about it I think too

@hyde @amin Hunter x Hunter is a serialized Manga (japanese comic) with around 410 chapters right now, each chapter is around 16 to 25 pages long.

Chapters are in magazines that also contain a chapter of multiple other running manga series! HxH is in the Shonen Jump magazine.

I wish regular comics on this side on the globe were in magazines instead of Being a single more expensive comic...

Don't most DC comics come in issues in magazines? Maybe I'm mixing something up.

@amin @hyde each comic usually has its own run, they print one book of like 30 or so colored pages and that's 15 bucks for u to pay... yey

Ah.

I was assuming it was a subscription nlike happens in the sci-fi magazine world.

@amin @joel I had to finally change my system to be three digits because I wrote a 120 chapter story a few years back. 270 seems reasonable for a long-running series.

@amin @joel When you think about it, The Simpsons are over 782 episodes.

@dmoonfire @joel

I haven't watched that, though.

@amin @joel You probably aren't missing much after the first thirty episodes. The Simpsons (and Family Guy) are my reason why every series should have an end planned before it starts and to actually honor it instead of dragging it along for another 10-30 years to end in crap plots and disappointment (Burn Notice, Supernatural, Lost Girl).
