'Hunter X Hunter' chapter 360 spoilers, plot news: Manga hiatus sparks rumors of cancellation

(Facebook/OfficialVIZMedia)The Japanese anime series (pictured) "Hunter X Hunter" is based on the manga of the same name.

Fans of "Hunter X Hunter" will be disappointed to know that chapter 360 of the Japanese manga may not see the light of day. News of its delay has sparked rumors that the manga's upcoming chapter may have been canceled.

According to Buzz Plus, "Hunter X Hunter" artist Yoshihiro Togashi is going on a hiatus, which means fans won't be seeing more of the manga anytime soon. Togashi has been suffering through back pains and the publication argues that this could be the reason for the break. This isn't the first time the Japanese manga artist has gone on a break. In fact, he is quite known for these breaks. Of course, fans are certainly hoping for Togashi's health to improve.

It is unknown when Togashi is expected to resume his work on "Hunter X Hunter" since Buzz Plus did not give out a specified duration for the break. It was reported that the hiatus will be indeterminate. However, an announcement regarding the return date will be revealed once the information becomes available.

"Hunter X Hunter" went on break two years ago, in August of 2014. It took nearly two years to continue the manga and only recently resumed publication in April. Given its track record, it certainly comes as saddening news that it will be taking a leave again.

Chapter 359 of the popular manga saw Kurapika piloting the Black Whale while attempting to protect Queen Oito and Woble, the queen's daughter. He is also responsible for helping them in their escape from the Black Whale because staying would get them killed.

Kurapika then witnessed the countless corpses of security guards. And by the end of the chapter, he released his chains and gun, and then proceeded to tell everyone that he knows important information that he's ready to unveil. He cautions everyone to either follow suit or meet their maker.
