Hunter X Hunter is the story of ambitious would-be Hunter Gon – Hunters are a special breed, dedicated 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.
In the about-to-be-released Hunter X Hunter, Gon and his friends face their greatest challenge yet – stealing ID badges from the other Hunter candidates without being caught. If they fail to get a single badge, they fail!
Hunter X Hunter Vol. 2 will be in stores – on Blu-ray and DVD – on February 28th.
