"Hunter x Hunter" fans are thrilled to get their hands on a new chapter of the hit manga series. Latest reports say that "Hunter x Hunter" Chapter 361 is coming out soon, if not within this February.

A report by Racing Junky claimed that fans could see the release of Chapter 361 in February following the deadline that Weekly Shonen Jump gave to the series creator Yoshihiro Togashi. "Hunter x Hunter" enthusiasts may have heard before that the manga publisher imposed an ultimatum that Togashi must finish Chapter 361 before February 2017 ends.

If Togashi failed to do so, the publisher will have no choice but to find another writer to continue the story, reportedly. As per reports, it was necessary to give the deadline to the author of "Hunter x Hunter" to push him to complete the chapter as fans are now slowly losing interest in the manga.

"Hunter x Hunter" enthusiasts have been waiting for Chapter 361 since 2016. The release date has been delayed for multiple times because of Togashi's health condition involving his back.

However, the series creator already showed himself in a manga writers event last year and there was reportedly no signs that he is unwell. Instead, he was seemingly healthy and looking happy at the event.

That said, fans were apparently disappointed that Togashi was still not able to complete "Hunter x Hunter" Chapter 361. This led them to lose hope that a new chapter will still come out as pointed out by MobilenApps.

February has just started so Togashi still has time to finish "Hunter x Hunter" Chapter 361 to bring back the hype of fans on the manga. Hopefully, Weekly Shonen Jump releases a statement soon if in any case the original creator was not able to fulfill his duties for the series.
