Features & Highlights

  • Plucky Gon’s quest to find his dad leads him into a whole world of crazy adventure.
  • Hunters are a special breed, dedicated to tracking down treasures, magical beasts, and even other people. But such pursuits require a license, and less than one in a hundred thousand can pass the grueling qualification exam. Those who do pass gain access to restricted areas, amazing stores of information, and the right to call themselves
  • Hunters.
  • Welcome to the country of NGL (Neo-Green Life), a unique place led by an eco-group that's totally against any kind of technology! No metal, synthetic material or modern tools are allowed, and death is considered "nature's will." But a secret and powerful drug cartel operates within the country, and when the queen of a colony of huge insects eats the cartel thugs, her offspring begin to exhibit unnatural signs of aggression! When Gon and friends arrive on the scene, will they too end up in the belly of the insect queen?

You've Made It Through "Greed Island." "Chimera Ant" Is the Best Arc!

Hunter x Hunter, Vol. 19 is the first full volume in the “Chimera Ant” arc. The chimera ant queen, a giant insect, can pass traits to her offspring by consuming creatures. If she eats a tiger, her children will have claws. If she eats a human, all hell breaks loose. To make matters worse, the chimera ant has taken up residence in NGL, or Neo-Green Land, a faraway island nation where all technology is banned. Or is it?

Professional hunters, of course, go to NGL to stop the queen, and she and her minions end up eating pro hunters, giving them the power of nen, making them even more unstoppable. An interesting side element is that there are criminals on NGL, and they form the first group of humans that the queen eats. Her offspring become traitorous and criminal. It's a fine story so far, complex, and I cannot wait to consume more of these volumes. ****3/4
