Manga analysis: Hunter x Hunter volume 3

Hello everyone! Welcome to my weekly manga review series!

Last week, I went over most of volume 2, and concluded were the third phase began, so let’s start off there.

So to start this off, I must say the art is incredibly consistent with the last volumes, if not a bit better. I really appreciate the attention to detail that is given to each panel, and how the characters move a lot more fluidly than from its previous first volume, and is even better in that regard to the second volume.

As for the story, our main protagonists traverse through trick tower, overcoming multiple different trials and games. For example, Gon goes against a prisoner in a competition, as the prisoner was assigned specifically to test someone inside the bizzaro structure

One interesting thing I thought was neat in this volume, is the fact that Killuas assassin like tendencies are expressed quite a bit more in this section of the story, specifically when he takes on one of the prisoners.

After our hero’s pass the third exam, they move on to the fourth, which actually involves hunting!

In this part of the exam, the examinees are taken to a forest via boat, and are told the rules of this hunting game. A little while after everyone is settled into the forest, Gon heads off to steal Hisokas tag, and while he tracks him, he sees hisoka targeting Leorio and Kurapika.

So that’s the whole volume. I’d say it’s pretty good, but I don’t think it was as exciting as volume 2.

I’d give this volume a 7.4/10
