Will fans ever get to see the ending of "Hunter x Hunter?" The answer to that question is becoming more definite as Yoshihiro Togashi's manga will likely be dropped by Japanese bookstores as it is already labeled as complete.

According to Youth Health Mag, Japanese bookstores are already irate and would like to stop selling the manga.

"BookOff and other Japanese bookstores may have been fed up with the unpredictable production of the manga. Its production was put on hold since last August due to the series creator's serious lower back pain issues. Initially, it was expected to just be a two-week hiatus but got extended since Togashi has not recovered yet," as stated in the website.

"The series have been declared finish and bookstores are selling the 32 volumes of the "Hunter x Hunter" manga series as a complete set for around 7,000 yen, or about $60. Japanese fans reacted with resignation while others protested the label."

As of writing, it has been nine months since the last chapter was released. Anime News Network reported that a return date is still far from happening.

"The manga will not return in the magazine's 41st issue as originally scheduled, since Togashi has not fully recovered medically. A return date was not announced." 

Fans were expecting the series to get back on track when new chapters were published last June 2014. Yoshihiro Togashi took a two year break which started from March 2012 to May 2014. But then again, the manga went back to hiatus on August 6, 2014. The manga is currently stuck at the Dark Continent arc.

With regards to its anime adaptation, episode 148 was aired last September 23.
