'Hunter X Hunter' Chapter 361 Release Date: Highly Anticipated Chapter May Arrive Late 2017

A new report may raise hopes for the highly anticipated release of "Hunter X Hunter" chapter 361. The report suggests that the manga may return sometime late 2017. However, Yoshihiro Togashi has yet to comment on the predicted date.

Togashi's hit manga series has seen a good number of hiatuses over the past years. When the manga returned in March 2016, fans supported the famous creator and his comeback. However, the series once again stopped shortly in July. Weekly Shonen Jump announced that "Hunter X Hunter" chapter 361 will not be launched until further notice.

Amid rumors of Togashi's alleged health issues, Comic Book points to history. According to the outlet, if fans were to base the release of "Hunter X Hunter" chapter 361 on the hiatus history that the series has taken, there is a chance the highly anticipated installment will be launched sometime late 2017. The outlet clarifies that there is no official confirmation regarding the prediction yet.

When Togashi was spotted in an October 2016 event, fans pointed out that he looked fit enough to keep up with his "Hunter X Hunter" illustrations and writing. Unfortunately, there's still no news about "Hunter X Hunter" chapter 261 until now. It appears that Togashi's latest public appearance didn't drop hints about his return to work, as opposed to what fans initially believed.

Meanwhile, Togashi and Gon Freecs fans are still looking forward to brighter days this year. Fans over on Reddit have been discussing about the unannounced "Hunter X Hunter" chapter 361 release date. For some, the last hiatus was hard on series followers who remained loyal despite the long breaks.

On the other hand, many others are rooting for the release of "Hunter X Hunter" chapter 361. Most fans commented that Togashi may finally get back to work for a longer period this year. One fan also mentioned a potential February 2017 launch for the elusive chapter.

Togashi's creation started running on the Weekly Shonen Jump in 1998. It was adapted into an anime series in 1999 and since then has become one of the most popular series both in international and local markets. Stay tuned for more updates on the release of "Hunter X Hunter" chapter 361.
