Following the success of Yoshihiro Togashi's first battle shonen series, Yu Yu Hakusho, a series that defined and, in some ways, perfected the genre, Togashi went in a radically different direction with his follow-up series, Hunter x Hunter. Hunter x Hunter began serialization in 1998, with its first anime adaptation starting the following year and a remake of the anime released in 2011. The series primarily follows Gon Freecs, a young boy from a small island who sets out to become a Hunter in the hopes that following in his absent father's footsteps will allow him to meet him. Gon makes friends and goes on adventures along the way.
