Hunter x Hunter
by Yoshihiro Togashi
Gon Freecss is twelve years old and determined to find his father — a legendary Hunter who abandoned him as an infant. To do so, he must pass the Hunter Exam, master Nen (the art of controlling life energy), and navigate a world of thieves, assassins, chimera ants, and a magician who wants to fight him to the death. Along the way, he befriends Killua (an assassin's son), Kurapika (last survivor of a massacred clan), and Leorio (an angry medical student), forming bonds that will be tested by increasingly impossible stakes.
