Okay, here’s a slightly different take: while the chapter order is simple, the experience of reading 'Hunter x Hunter' changes if you're aware of the publication breaks. The tone shifts dramatically from arc to arc. The Hunter Exam is adventurous, Yorknew is a dark crime thriller, Greed Island is a video game come to life, and Chimera Ant is a philosophical war epic.
Reading them in order lets you appreciate how Togashi deconstructs shonen tropes. So yes, Volume 1 to Volume 37. But maybe take breaks between arcs to let them sink in. It's not a series to binge without reflection. The order isn't complicated, but the emotional journey is complex. The manga's paneling can get dense later, so take your time.

Man, I went down such a rabbit hole trying to figure this out when I first got into the series. It gets confusing because the main 'Dark Hunter' manga adaptation, which starts with 'Volume 1: Dark-Hunter' by Sherrilyn Kenyon and Arturo Serra, follows a pretty linear order from 1 onward. But here's where folks stumble: it adapts the events from the early novels, so if you've read those, the first few volumes will feel familiar but with some condensed storylines.
There's also 'Dark-Hunter Infinity' which is a separate spin-off series. I'd say finish the main manga run first before jumping into that one, otherwise the timeline gets all jumbled in your head. Honestly, I just stuck with the numerical order on the spines and didn't overthink it, and the story flowed fine.
The real trick is not mixing it up with the light novel covers or the unrelated manhwa sometimes tagged with similar names. Just grab Volume 1 and go straight through.

figuring out the best reading order can be a bit tricky. The series starts with 'The Hunter'—it’s the perfect introduction to the world and characters. After that, I recommend moving to 'The Prey,' which deepens the lore and ramps up the action. 'The Kill' comes next, tying together many threads from the first two books. Some fans argue you can read 'The Trap' as a standalone, but I think it hits harder after the first three. If you’re a completionist, don’t skip the spin-offs like 'The Shadow,' but they’re not essential to the main storyline.
The series has a few novellas, like 'The Chase,' which are fun but optional. The author’s writing style evolves, so reading in order lets you appreciate the growth. Stick to the core trilogy first, then explore the extras if you’re hooked.

Consider the author/artist. The different series have different creative teams, so they're like different shows in the same universe. Do you like Hiro Mashima's art and style ('Orage')? Then start there. Are you a fan of Shin Yamamoto's more detailed, grounded artwork ('Flash Hunter')? Start there. Look up samples of the art online. The writing follows the art's tone. Your connection to the visual style will hugely impact your enjoyment. Pick the artist you like best.

It's less of a series and more of a library. You don't ask which library book to read first. You browse the shelves. Same idea. Browse the titles, read the blurbs, and pick the monster or the setting that excites you the most. Want a story set in the Coral Highlands? Go for that. Interested in the Third Fleet? Find that. Your curiosity is the best ordering system. The connections between the stories are loose and world-based, not plot-based. You won't spoil anything. You might even develop your own personal timeline, which is a fun way to engage with the material.
