Togashi started Hunter x Hunter1998. Both the manga and two anime series that are based it were released in 1998. They take place in a world of licensed professionals known as Hunters. Hunters can embark on amazing adventures such finding monsters or criminals to hunt for treasure. Gon is a young boy who attempts to locate his father, the legendary Hunter, by taking the Hunter Examination. He meets Killua (the runaway heir to an assassin clan); Kurapika (the last of the murdered clan members); and Leorio (a medical student).

While Gon’s adventures have mostly finished up after the wild Chimera Ant arc, the most recent manga volumes pivoted to Kurapika. On a quest to avenge his fallen clan — and retrieve their stolen eyes — he joins a dangerous expedition to an unknown land, serving as the bodyguard to a baby princess. Leorio is also aboard the ship, serving on the Med Bay, but we don’t see much of him.
