To commemorate the achievement, Shueisha launched a dedicated “Shibuya Hunter Town” campaign and a new website on June 28. Shibuya Hunter Town runs from June 29 to July 5, featuring more than 100 characters across the city for fans to find via street ads and QR codes.
Additionally, on July 3, the publisher will run a thank-you advertisement in The Asahi Shimbun and release a commemorative promotional video (PV) marking the milestone. Shonen Jump+ and the Zebrack app are also offering 340 chapters, spanning the Hunter Exam Arc to the Election and Alluka Arc.
