The long hiatus placed on "Hunter X Hunter" is getting fans worried. Recent reports suggest that one of the reasons why chapter 361 has not been announced for release yet is due to alleged talks on Yoshihiro Togashi's replacement.
The latest news on "Hunter X Hunter" suggest that Yoshihiro Togashi may be replaced by one of the most famous names in the manga and anime world: Sui Ishida. He is the creator of "Tokyo Ghoul," and has received the Young Jump 113th Grand Prix Award for the said piece. Ishida has not yet responded to the rumors, though.
"Hunter X Hunter" publisher Shueisha reportedly has another artist in mind for the rumored replacement. It is said that the Japanese publishing giant is also considering Naoko Takeuchi for the position. Takeuchi is not just the creator of "Sailor Moon," but she is also none other than the great Togashi's wife. Some fans believe that if there's someone who understands Togashi's work best, it would be Takeuchi.
On the other hand, rumors are hot on the heels of Sui Ishida. Some fans speculate that he is worthy to be given the chance to continue "Hunter X Hunter" due to his experience in the field. Some critics think, though, that this is not so. Ishida is known for his dark themes while Togashi's hit series is light-hearted and far from what Ishida is depicting in "Tokyo Ghoul."
Meanwhile, Togashi remains mum on the release of "Hunter X Hunter" chapter 361. Ever since news surfaced of his alleged deteriorating health, there has been no official word about the new chapter's launch. Rumors suggest that either the series will be cancelled or Yoshihiro Togashi will ultimately be replaced.
"Hunter X Hunter" chapter 361 spoilers and predictions suggest that the upcoming installment will focus on Gin. Gon's world-famous father is one of the most elusive characters in the series. According to an earlier report by Game N Guide, Gin may be given a chance to shine this time.
The "Hunter X Hunter" chapter 361 release date remains unknown. Yoshihiro Togashi also has yet to make an announcement about the chapter's progress. For now, fans can only hope for official news to arrive soon.
