There was only one problem I had with this volume, in fact it was a certain scene that pissed me off.
I was a bit glad to find out that it really had its origin in the manga - that the maker of the anime weren't to blame for this - but at the same time I'm utterly grossed out.
Why the "examination" scene? Who thought it was even remotely okay to have a woman being fondled by a guy to 'determine her sex' in this and Just For The Laughs no less? I don't cre if you couldn't actually see the thing, it upsets me and Leorio is so much better than that.
Who the fuck put up this weird rule that Shounen stories need to have at least one perverted old man?
EW.

i cannot believe this is where volume 3 ends, i need more!!
unfortunately tonpa just ruins the plot for me and his villainy is not compelling, so volume 3 has big 3 star energy. the bad vibes were nearly counteracted by killua just sauntering cooly into and out of deadly situations, but not quite. i can't wait until my library slowly acquires more volumes so i can relive this series without having to watch netflix lol

4.5 - Hisoka !!! So enjoyable and definitely keeps you entertained. I read it in one sitting because it's just so good. I love Zevil Island so I'm excited to dive into the fourth

It's about a boy named Gon going on a whole bunch of adventures and trying to become a hunter like his dad and try to find his dad named Ging who he's never met.

Even though the Hunter Exam Arc is one of my less favorite arcs, it's still really fun and cool to read.

This one felt like it was merely getting us from one plot point to another. It was okay, but I’m ready for the action.
