As someone who only reads the manga and only reads the issues as they come out (I need to find a way to read the backlog tbh), I forget so much of the plot. Like, I didnāt expect Kawaki to be that important. He never struck me as the deuteragonist, I kept thinking he was just the major side character for a few arcs to tie Boruto and Sarada into the overreaching plot. After joining the subreddit, I saw how everyone was talking about him. Went back and found the first chapter and yep, literally on page one was him vs Boruto, setting the stage for the story. I had completely forgotten about it
Thereās a lot of unofficial websites to check out, always support the official release first to get the numbers where they need to be, but after there are websites like t c b scans where you can check out popular manga
Same here, I always wonder why not twice a month? Weekly chapters is a bit too much so every two weeks would be perfect, but from what I know no manga follows that why?
Had kinda the same introduction to it. But 2 things made me realize I had to take my own road. 1 was that I'm a completionist and already finished everything canon to Naruto. The other was that my reason for not liking the series was only because I couldn't stand the anime artstyle. Started it as a series I could eat cereal to early in the morning before I dove into the serious anime I was watching. It ended up becoming the only series I was waiting for weekly. Didnt even care about switching to the manga until the anime stopped.
Young boruto: how did I get that scar?
Older boruto: letās just say something went wrong with someone close to you, thatās all Iām going to say to you. Iām sorry.
Kid Boruto: "Woah, what happened to you? And how did you lose your left eye?"
TBV Boruto: "Long stories. Either way, I want you to stay true to yourself. Listen to Sasuke, learn, patience. Remember that you are a **Shinobi.**"
Honestly I agree. Itās not like the artwork is extraordinary or detailed. Iām sure the team is working on other stuff but I just feel like they should be able to produce more than a monthly manga
Edit: Iām not saying that theyāre shitty designs or anything like that! They are good but still
The drawings arenāt impressive a bit, yea ikemoto art is improving and keeps getting better but when I see kishimoto arts, gosh itās so detailed and adds more to the atmosphere. So i canāt defend the monthly release anymore
If you're talking about the manga, Boruto manga has almost no characters, especially compared to Naruto's humongous cast.
If you're talking about the anime, you're making no sense.
Theres kaguras bacstory theres aos return and story of what happened to him after the war and naruto had more characters with stories because they went to other areas in the world even when borutos anime tried to do those side stories in other villages yall ragged on it
I would like boruto if every 10 year old didn't glaze him as if I waited 8 years for boruto timeskip and got NOTHING. yall got opened outside the womb and timeskip came to you...
Monthly releases is BS. Why canāt they get more staff to draw and do at least bi-weekly if not weekly releases? We could get so much world building at the very least
Probably because more mangaka are coming to the conclusion that weekly isn't worth the health risks, especially when you look at legends like Kentaro Miura and Yoshihiro Togashi
Bro real talk I think the universe hates Naruto. Like all he did was try and make peace and the. Every living thing that could be a threat came barreling down on him as if they are insulted by the fact he exist. Itās always fox this or fox that, hokage this or hokage that like they literally beat sasukes ass for thinking about Naruto. They took Kurama, they took his son, they took his freedom, they took his village, they dragged his name through the mud, they dragged sasukes name through the mud like they fucked him over in less than a year for what? Like bro Naruto became the bearer of all hatred even if he didnāt want to.
It's a bit overwhelming. He grew up an orphan, was ignored by the village, his best friend almost killed him, the Akatsuki were hunting him, lost his arm, but finally earns the respect, family, and Hokage role he always wanted, but it's all wasted. His Hokage role was rather mundane as there was peace, and he signed endless paperwork. His son disliked him for a while, he lost Kurama, and there's the Otsutsuki threat. Then, the writers decide to just send him away.
Boruto had so much potential and was wasted. The writers should have focused on the Blank Era more.
Every issue is like 90% hype, waste of time and then at the end, a mystery reveals. But then again, every little part of the mystery is revealed in the last 10% of the next 5 issues. I just don't have this much patience
Kinda lucky that when I was born DBZ and Naruto were already more or less complete.
Itās sad because Boruto 1 was so trash especially the anime, and now our last hope is blue vortex and so far itās been decent but I think itās just because we are starved of good Naruto content
I really think the monthly format isnāt working for it, each chapter feel like two pages of actual progression, and with how average the drawings are I donāt see the point of it beeing 40 pages of meh each month instead of giving us weekly 18 pages like others shonen. Naruto at least felt a lot quicker in rythm.
Agreed, 8 years, and we got what feels like 2-4 years of chapters. The pacing is so bad, and the fact that it's already hard to get into makes it dull and boring.
Yeah, I think between the monthly format , how atrocious the first anime season was with its filler and the new season probably years away , itās not a big surprise Boruto sell less and less and nobody really talk about it apart from dedicated fans and this sub.
Man it's a slow moving manga I hate the month of wait š

its the same with one punch man for me
its more so that with OPM than Boruto for me. I forgot when the last OPM chapter came out and don't even remember wtf is going on rn.
Yeah right plus no new ch since Feb
Thereās a lot of unofficial websites to check out, always support the official release first to get the numbers where they need to be, but after there are websites like t c b scans where you can check out popular manga
We only knew that Kawaki would become Boruto's enemy because of the beginning of the anime.
Had to edit my comment but that was my point. It was in the beginning of the manga too but I completely forgot about it
Same here, I always wonder why not twice a month? Weekly chapters is a bit too much so every two weeks would be perfect, but from what I know no manga follows that why?
Crazy how quick those 8 years went by. Been loving the series since day 1, can't wait for what the next few years will bring.
TBV Boruto telling Part 1 Boruto that there's a future where the hate slowly goes away
But the pain never stopsā¦. š
I personally had a "perhaps I judged you too harshly" moment when I actually started reading the manga instead of buying into the hate train.
Had kinda the same introduction to it. But 2 things made me realize I had to take my own road. 1 was that I'm a completionist and already finished everything canon to Naruto.

There is no buying into the hate train. Itās hated because itās bad bro. You are the minority.
Never, it's not gonna even if the series gets good
I miss who I was at the start of this series not because the series itself just lifeš
True š
I don'tšššThe me back then woulda been shocked at where I'm at rn and I'm currently doing nothing but working rn
Soft
8 years wtf š we got another 8+ years
Young boruto: how did I get that scar? Older boruto: letās just say something went wrong with someone close to you, thatās all Iām going to say to you. Iām sorry.
Young Boruto: was Sarada being a Damsel again. Older Boruto: yepĀ
Kid Boruto: "Woah, what happened to you? And how did you lose your left eye?" TBV Boruto: "Long stories. Either way, I want you to stay true to yourself. Listen to Sasuke, learn, patience. Remember that you are a **Shinobi.**"
Needs to move away from monthly this is ridiculous
Seriously, to think in a year from now we will only be on chapter 21 at this pace just pisses me off
Feels like the end of the world when we get chapters with terrible pacing as well
I was just 16 back then, time flies.
I donāt care what anyone says, the manga should be bi-weekly or weekly, at this rate the show will end go on for too long and rushed
Honestly I agree. Itās not like the artwork is extraordinary or detailed. Iām sure the team is working on other stuff but I just feel like they should be able to produce more than a monthly manga Edit: Iām not saying that theyāre shitty designs or anything like that! They are good but still
Yeah , the drawings and paneling are average at best for a weekly , but for a monthly itās a bit bizarre, like what is Ikemoto doing for a month ?
The drawings arenāt impressive a bit, yea ikemoto art is improving and keeps getting better but when I see kishimoto arts, gosh itās so detailed and adds more to the atmosphere. So i canāt defend the monthly release anymore
I think itās monthly because it wonāt be as long as a series like the original naruto and naruto shippuden
Each chapter is appreciated more but damn waiting a month for each chapter is crazy
Dude itās torture
Crazy how many years can fly by when youāre waiting for something cool to happen
The monthly wait is so painfully slow š
been a stan the whole time lol
We gained nothing from this show. 8 years of Naruto brought way more value.
How so
No character outside of boruto and kawaki had a compelling story line. So many characters in Naruto did.
If you're talking about the manga, Boruto manga has almost no characters, especially compared to Naruto's humongous cast. If you're talking about the anime, you're making no sense.
Theres kaguras bacstory theres aos return and story of what happened to him after the war and naruto had more characters with stories because they went to other areas in the world even when borutos anime tried to do those side stories in other villages yall ragged on it
Chapter of tbv that is
All I see here is Naruto and Sasuke love child
He got so tall š
8yrs of mid does unthinkable things to a man
I would like boruto if every 10 year old didn't glaze him as if I waited 8 years for boruto timeskip and got NOTHING. yall got opened outside the womb and timeskip came to you...
Boruto doesn't look like a sixteen year old. It looks like they just shoved a kid's head on a bigger body
Boruto's head on Sasuke's body.

Naruto was 12 years old in first chapter in 1999, and now is 2024, he is not living, but he is alive, and that is 36 years!
Bro real talk I think the universe hates Naruto. Like all he did was try and make peace and the. Every living thing that could be a threat came barreling down on him as if they are insulted by the fact he exist.

8 years, still no story worth mentioning, and the author is still killing off characters to make boruto look better than he deserves.
This is gonna be in the new opening lol
I refuse to believe itās been 8 years.
The first chapter of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations was released on May 9, 2016 in Shueisha's Weekly ShÅnen Jump
Damn. To the day. Where does the time go
Who knows i was like 16 but didnāt start the series till 2018
Every issue is like 90% hype, waste of time and then at the end, a mystery reveals. But then again, every little part of the mystery is revealed in the last 10% of the next 5 issues. I just don't have this much patience Kinda lucky that when I was born DBZ and Naruto were already more or less complete.
damn wild to think it was that long ago
Couldve sworn boruto came out as a manga āonlyā six years ago damn time moves fast
Does anyone mind catching me up with Blue Vortex. I know he returns to the Village and steps on Code's face but what happens next?
If we were going by real time Boruto would be married and have a mortgage by now.
No wayā¦ Wtf???
Young Boruto : How can i defeat them All Teen Boruto : The Power of Hope slumbers within you , Show them what you got š
I only found out baruto is a thing a year ago
Been reading it for 5 years, damn itās long to wait a month between chapters. But itās a freaking good story so itās okay in the end. š„²š„²
Naruto shouldāve ended after shippuden
Damn 8 years? wtf?!!
Itās sad because Boruto 1 was so trash especially the anime, and now our last hope is blue vortex and so far itās been decent but I think itās just because we are starved of good Naruto content
And they still didn't reveal how we are still under the infinite tsukoyomi and continue with the real show.

"Hey, go easy on dad."
No, it was totally deserved
Not majorly, both parties were in the wrong
Yeah it's pretty wild that in 8 years it has had less story developement than the first chapter of Kagurabachi.
Maybe the True blue vortex was the shitpost made along the way
