In the past, the reasons cited for HxH hiatuses have usually been "ill health", "research", and "mangaka circumstances". Most of it, however, is said to fall under "mangaka circumstances". [This site](http://hunter.noihjp.com/rest/rest.php?Year=2013) (jp) tracks all of them.

Seeing as to how HxH and *Yu Yu Hakusho* have been such hits, the mangaka, [Yoshihiro Togashi](http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=creator&creatorid=874), has gained a fair bit of clout at Shonen Jump and the editors are apparently very lenient with him. While it is said that he did suffer from health issues thanks to the pressing schedule of YYH, it is also said that he plays truant a lot and attends Comikets when he's supposedly sick. Togashi is also known to be a massive [Dragon Quest](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Quest) (related [April Fool's joke](http://www.capsulecomputers.com.au/2013/04/hunter-x-hunter-returning-from-hiatus-togashi-checks-out-of-rehab/)) fan and apparently likes to take a break whenever a new version comes out.

The story goes that the mangaka does not like using assistants and prefers to draw everything himself.
