It is so worth it. Admittedly, it might be harder to jump into than when I started (I started reading it weekly around chapter 400), but it's consistently great (really funny, well-drawn action, and never focuses on a particular character or group to the point where the interesting characters get left out).

The starter's fine - sorry I haven't responded to it yet, but I decided to read some of Hunter x Hunter. I skipped past what's already aired on Toonami, and I'm already past chapter 100 (Kurapika's kidnapped the leader of the Phantom Troupe). I think I might be addicted.
