Not sure exactly what this means but I guess we will see. Kind of a short statement..

Well, that's good, he can continue working on the manga, which will make fans happy (I only just started reading it a month ago myself), and he can also keep from pushing himself, which is obviously important.

I think it means he's actually getting people to help him draw chapters rather than doing everything himself and compounding his health problems.

I hope togashi retires. I don't need to see the ending of Hunter X Hunter. Seriously, I would feel much better knowing the man can rest, and enjoy raising his kid with his child.

Finally! Glad he's looking into and accepting help. It's the best thing to do if you cares about his work and wants to finish telling his story. Hope he can keep feeling better too.

I'm sure this must have been a difficult decision for him, given how much he put up with before making it, and I fully support him in it.

| Quote: | | Manga creator Yoshihiro Togashi tweeted on Monday that he has "decided to increase [his] staff." The news follows a worrying health update earlier this month that the Hunter X Hunter creator's symptoms were not improving and that he was in pain. |
Pretty wise move on his part. I hope the people here who thought cancelling the manga would be good for his health see that this was a better choice.

So he finally caved and got someone/people other than his wife and himself to draw. Was kind of a love/hate relationship when it came to that part of him. I've been thinking that HxH should have been turned into a light novel since there is a lot of narrator and inner monolog at some points in the story and with his EXTREME back pain holding him back.

Wish he'd brought himself to do this a solid decade ago, for everyone's sake.

At this point I don't even care how many hiatuses are needed, I just want Togashi to take care of himself. Getting more assistants is a positive step. I know it's been said before and he'd probably never agree to it, but I do wish he would allow someone else to handle the artwork and limit himself to the writing. It seems like he's pushed himself quite a lot by insisting on drawing the series himself, and sadly it doesn't sound like his art will go back to being what it was.

If it hasn't been made clear, Togashi has staff and assistants already. People are talking as if he wasn't already doing this.

The man can rest if he has a bigger staff who helps him with the manga; it surely would give him more time for that. Besides, a person usually raises a kid with their spouse, not another child.

I agree on that as well. His art is mediocre at best. It's not like it was with YuYu Hakusho or earlier HxH, but he doesn't [want to] realize that the artistic integrity he wants to mantain to keep drawing is killing him. He could always write and have a better artist, or at least someone with better health and take the reins of his art and release manga at a better pace, but at least a bigger staff is a very good step toward the right direction.

Good thing you speak for yourself, I do want to see the ending of HxH. However not at the expense of Togashi's live at risk. Bigger staff is just what he needs to counter it all.

Kinda the point of my initial post; I dont know what this means, and as many have pointed out he usually is hands on.
