Despite his Aunt Mito's protests, Gon decides to follow in his father's footsteps and become a legendary Hunter. The Hunter hopefuls begin their journey by storm-tossed ship, where Gon meets Leorio and Kurapika, the only other applicants who aren't devastated by bouts of seasickness. Having survived the terrors of the high seas, Gon and his companions now have to prove their worth in a variety of tests in order to find the elusive Exam Hall. And once they get there, will they ever leave alive...? Review: One of the manga greats. - Really do not judge this manga on the first few volumes. This is quite literally setting the scene for one of the Manga greats. That is really no exaggeration. The manga creator, Yoshiro Togashi, has not written a manga chapter in over 2 years and this manga is still in the top 10 sales of manga worldwide in 2013. This volume has been criticised as being 'childish' because of the lack of action but that's because this arc isn't meant for action but believe me, this manga will bring through an amazing blend of fun loving humour and some very dark twisted places, but fortunately it blends them both perfectly insuring that you never get bored. This is one of the few mantas that really blur the line between good and evil, the main male protagonist, Gon, is not some Naruto/ Ichigo unrealistically high morals/ do no wrong sought of character, he is a kid who is exploring the world and he does most things because they effect him in some way (e.g. Not everything is done for the protection of his friends or the safety of the world) and without these great restrictions, make him one of the deepest most 3 dimensional characters in manga and that's what gives him his likability as a character. Another great part of HxH is the fact that no two arcs are similar, it feels like a real world with different events that happen to the protagonist constantly unlike most mambas that follow a basic pattern (e.g. Go somewhere, find a group of people who are evil, each character fights one of the group and the protagonist fights the main bad guy, they win, they move onto another group of bad guys etc.) nothing is recycled. Sorry, this is really dragging on but another great thing is the amount of character development each character gets, if he has a name, he gets his entire life explained to you in a quick flashback and summary, their are even characters that you don't what they look like because they have not been shown but you will know everything about them, such as childhood experiences or little habits or even fetishes (although they don't go I to detail about them) and the fact that they get this level of detail each really brings the world alive and doesn't just fell like they're just there to fill a panel. Right that went on for far longer than it had to, this manga is amazing (although art is on the sketchy side) but the story is completely captivating with some incredible characters. If you are unsure there is both a anime that was created in 1999 (goes up to the end of the Greed Island Arc) and the new 2011 anime that is still ongoing (currently covering Chimera Ant Arc). Check them out or read this just what ever you do give this a try, you will no be disappointed.

It's really worth reading and watching! If you like a manga with characters that all have main hero vibes, then this is the one for you. Every character has depth and personality, which are distinct from each other. The art style is unique, with a really creative inspiration behind the world itself, which makes for a super engaging story!
