Hunter x Hunter went on hiatus in early 2006. In early July, fans petitioned for the return of HxH through a special service website called Letters to the Chairman. In early August, a source from 2ch leaked the news that HxH will be returning "sometime in October."
Also announced in Jump 40 is that volume 24 of Hunter x Hunter will be released on 10/4.*
We created a Manga-Updates frappr.
For those who don't know what a frappr is:
"Frappr! Maps are like a triple mash-up of an online guest book, a hit log and a map -- three services that, combined, create a fun and visually appealing environment that will keep Web site visitors coming back for more.. "

Additions will still require approval because wee don't wish to see any inappropriate language and images. Gotta worry bout the liluns. We'll try to check frequently. At least at first. Please be patient and we'll get to it as soon as time allows. Enjoy.
p.s. Please add a name/nick. Anonymous will not get approved. Images are optional though.
Well at least we know who our population consists of now 🙂

Well, now that that is out of the way... Happy Birthday Mangaupdates! You are three! Unfortunately I don't have anything planned, but as always I'll give you some juicy stats to show our growth over the past year.
So far, we've had 168 million page views since we were founded 3 years ago. Of those, half of those occurred this year alone. This is a testament to the support you have all given us over the years! Thank you all for your continued support.
Long live MU!
We have a new rating system... series are now ranked by the bayesian system. This will hopefully provide a fairer ranking for all series (weighted by the number of votes now).
