Hunter x Hunter, Vol. 11: Next Stop: Meteor City--The Junkyard of the World

Hunter x Hunter volume 11, titled Next Stop: Meteor City, was released as part of Yoshihiro Togashi’s long-running shonen manga series. Originally serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, the series explores the intricate world of Hunters, individuals who track down rare creatures, treasures, and people. Volume 11 focuses on the Yorknew City arc, a pivotal storyline that shifts the tone toward a darker, more crime-focused narrative as the protagonist Gon and his friend Killua encounter the Phantom Troupe.

The volume captures Togashi’s signature narrative style, which often subverts traditional shonen tropes through complex tactical battles and moral ambiguity. Published in English by Viz Media, the volume serves as a key entry in the series, introducing readers to the mysterious Meteor City, a place where people exist outside the records of society. The cover art reflects Togashi’s distinct character designs and his tendency to employ a gritty, minimalist aesthetic for his manga volumes during this period of the series.
