Yoshihiro Togashi, the creator of Hunter x Hunter, just opened a Twitter account, hinting that he is currently working on new manga chapters for the popular series.

Nonetheless, several sources confirmed the mangaka’s Twitter profile’s authenticity, and the account soon gained followers. Yoshihiro Togashi has 2.1 million Twitter followers as of this writing, making him the most followed manga artist on the famous social media website.
