'Hunter X Hunter' Chapter 361 news and updates: Next chapter's release still uncertain

It's going to be another disappointing waiting game for fans of "Hunter X Hunter" as reports emerged that the upcoming chapter 361 does not have a definite release date as of the moment.

According to reports, the weekly digital English-language magazine, Shonen Jump, announced in their latest issue that the popular manga will take an indefinite break yet again. It will be interesting how fans will take the news this time. As of now, there is no significant information as to when the next chapter will come out.

According to Game N Guide, the manga creator has yet to provide an official statement why the next chapter is going to be delayed. Although many fans are left in dismay, some are not surprised as this has happened in the past. About a couple of years ago, the manga has also taken a year off before resuming in 2015. According to experts, it is highly likely that "Hunter X Hunter" may take another year off before it resumes in 2017.

Previous reports suggested that Yoshihiro Togashi, "Hunter X Hunter" author, had already given up on the said manga, which led him to take a time off. There are even reports saying that the manga is starting to lose its popularity, which explains why some of the Japanese bookstores have stopped selling the series.

Meanwhile, there are rumors circulating all over the internet suggesting that the recurring back problem of Togashi is the main reason why the author needs a break.

However, many fans are wondering why the series' creator has yet to decide to hire other artists that could help him with the upcoming chapters. Several comments in MyManga have shown the disappointment of many fans with regard to the manga's latest development.

As of the moment, there is nothing a fan can do but to wait for the manga to resume. As to when, nobody really knows.
