Harvard University Press. ISBN 9780674091306. Republished with a new preface Columbia University Press, 1990.In Hunter x Hunter, Gon decides to pursue a career as a Hunter just like his dad Ging who left his family. Gon is driven in this endeavor both by his desire to find Ging and out of curiosity, for if being a Hunter is compelling enough to tear a man away from his family, then it has to be incredible and must be experienced. Upon finding him, Gon learns that Ging was originally motivated to get what he didn't have, which later evolved into a need to explore everything beyond the known world. Desert 9's Mao shares the same obsession as Gon, and his father left for a similar reason as Ging. Mao wants to find his dad who abandoned his family to find the ninth forgotten desert.
