The author is coming back soon. There has already been some pictures of his new work on Facebook hunter x hunter site. He is going to be on the same magazine as naruto was on. Or so I've heard. Hope this helps anyone's heart feel lighter. ╥﹏╥
What I heard is that the had some kind of surgery. And for the last 3 or so years he only released only 5 to 7 chapters on the dark continent. So because of his health they neex to find a solution were they can keep he's health up and making chapters at a steady pace.
It's still really hard to tell. Like you said, it already Dec. I did a hard core search for it yesterday in any news. There's no new ones. Maybe in my country (America) there's no news but Japan might. Sorry my info could be wrong.
