HUNTER×HUNTER hiatus tracker
Every break HUNTER×HUNTER has taken since it began in Weekly Shonen Jump issue 1998 #14, counted in Jump issues rather than in weeks, because Jump itself skips issues.
When is chapter 421?
Unknown. Here is the record instead.
No release date for chapter 421 has been announced by Shueisha or Weekly Shonen Jump, so HxH Status does not name one. The numbers below are the observed distribution of 28 years of publication, not a forecast.

How a hiatus is counted here
A Jump issue that carries no HUNTER×HUNTER chapter counts as one issue of hiatus. Combined issues count once, which is how Shueisha numbers them. Nothing here is an estimate: every issue in the dataset is a published Weekly Shonen Jump issue between 1998 and today.
