Browse Hunter x Hunter MangaWhere does the Hunter x Hunter anime end in the manga?
The final episode of the 2011 anime is Episode 148, Past × And × Future.
It adapts material through approximately Chapter 339, completing the anime's Election arc.
Anime ending: Chapter 339
Next manga chapter: Chapter 340
Physical book: Hunter x Hunter Vol. 32
Why Volume 32 and not Volume 33?
This is the bit that can catch people out.
Most of Volume 32 overlaps with material covered near the end of the anime. However, the volume also contains Chapter 340.
That chapter is where the unadapted story begins.
Jumping directly to Volume 33 therefore means skipping the first chapter after the anime.
Buy Volume 32, accept the small amount of overlap, then continue to Volume 33.
Do you need to read Hunter x Hunter from Volume 1?
No. The 2011 anime covers the manga closely enough that someone who remembers the series can continue from the anime ending.
You mainly want new story
You finished the anime recently, remember the major events and want to reach material that has never been animated.
You want the original manga
You want Yoshihiro Togashi's original artwork and pacing or plan to build a complete Hunter x Hunter collection.
What happens after the Hunter x Hunter anime?
Keeping this spoiler-free, the manga begins widening the story beyond the goal that drove much of Gon's journey.
The post-anime material moves towards the Dark Continent Expedition and then the much larger Succession Contest storyline.
The focus also changes. Characters and political conflicts that were previously secondary become far more important, and the manga spends considerably more time on strategy, Nen abilities and the wider Hunter x Hunter world.
Is there much Hunter x Hunter manga after the anime?
Yes. Episode 148 is not the end of the manga.
There are multiple physical volumes containing material beyond the anime, so Volume 32 is the beginning of a genuine continuation rather than a single extra chapter or short epilogue.
What should you buy after Hunter x Hunter Episode 148?
First: Hunter x Hunter Vol. 32
Then: Vol. 33, Vol. 34, Vol. 35 and onwards in numerical order.
If your only goal is to continue the story, there is no need to buy Volumes 1 to 31 first.
