Hunter x Hunter, Vol. 26

Hunter x Hunter, Volume 26 has a complicated story leading up to it.  Gon and Killua are Hunters, the main protagonists of the series.  In this, the "Chimera Ant" arc - which runs from Chapter 186 to Chapter 318, about a dozen tankobon volumes - a giant ant with the ability to take on the abilities of whatever or whoever it eats, washes up on the shore.  Soon, it reproduces and begins eating humans.  Then they begin eating nen-enhanced Hunters and attempt to eat humans en masse.  Volume 26 details the attack of the most powerful Hunters on East Gorteau, the isolated nation that the Chimera Ants have taken over.

Killua's grandfather, Zeno, shows up, along with Nieto, and they finally kick some ass.  Gon corners the surgeon Ant (Pitou) so she can help Gon's father's student, Kite, but Pitou insists on treating Komugi first.  Komugi is the Gunga champion of East Gorteau, and is my spellchecker going wild or what?  It seems so bizarre, and it is so bizarre, but Hunter x Hunter, Volume 26 simply draws me in, even though I've only read a few volumes in the past six months.
