If you haven’t read or watched Hunter x Hunter, the series takes place in a world where licensed Hunters go on missions to hunt monsters, fight criminals, or find treasure. Its lead protagonist, Gon Freecss, becomes a Hunter so as to find his missing father, himself one of the best Hunters in the world. As with any shonen protagonist, he makes some friends along his travels: Killua, the heir of an assassin family; a med student named Leorio; and Kurapika, the sole survivor of his murdered clan. The series has been adapted into anime twice; with the more recent of the two having released in 2011 on Crunchyroll and covers the majority of the manga.
When the manga lastleft off, it had just wrapped up Gon’s story in the “Chimera Ant” arc and was pivoting to Kurapika. Determined to retrieve the stolen eyes of his slain clan members, Kurapika signs up to bodyguard a baby princess, with Leorio tagging along for the ride as a medic on the ship.
