Plucky Gon’s quest to find his dad leads him into a whole world of crazy adventure.

Hunters dedicate their lives to tracking down treasures, magical beasts, and even other people. But such pursuits require a license, and less than one in a hundred thousand can pass the grueling qualification exam. Those who do pass earn the right to call themselves Hunters.

The Spiders are called home to fend off the invasion in Meteor City while Gon and Killua discover the populations of entire towns are missing in the Republic of East Gorteau. To make matters worse, something sinister is stalking the duo…
