I don't know enough about him. I like that they say that he is a prodigy which means i may like him more than his dad. I also like the fact that Boruto is not a fan of his dad, because i am not a fan of Naruto either.
I don't like him just yet, but I think he might become a really interesting character if the speculations come to be true and Sasuke will teach him. Other than that, there is nothing really special about him yet except the hype.
The same could be said of sarada or anyother new gen kid. Their story is just unfolding, the characters need time to develop to genuinely like them. However Boruto being a by product of NaruHina and Prodigy is enough for me.
He has had the less amount of screen time compared to Sarada and Chou Chou, but every-time he appears you get a different feeling for him. At least for me anyway. I believe he will turn out great, and his relationship with Sasuke ... I'm looking forward to that as well.
Reminder as you read this: He barely has the same amount of manga panels as Sarada, and Chou Chou as well. So understand I have little to work with
Now Kishimoto early on already hinted what Boruto disliked, and it is the exact opposite of what Naruto wanted:

“I totally hate Hokage’s…”
Now we can already tell that Boruto takes after his father in his mischievous personality (usually associated with pranks and such), and it is not wrong to name him a clone thus far, right? In comparison to Sasuke who did his best in school to gain his father’s attention, especially when he had a brother like Itachi, Boruto is probably the best in his class. Now don’t take what I say for fact, once again, but Kishimoto already called Boruto a Prodigy. And he really is not characterized as some complete idiot like his father outside of his pranks, and so far his shinobi skills are not questioned (being able to use a high ranked technique before graduation - The shadow clone jutsu) unlike Naruto who was called the class idiot, and dropout.

Boruto whether this can be taken seriously so far from the lack of panels of his characterization, just seems to be rather laid back. More so in comparison to what Naruto has shown. Who is overly enthusiastic, always wants to join the party, and never wants to be behind. I think it is the exact opposite for Boruto.

Now very on Naruto was characterized as someone who never gives up, in fact that is actually his nindo. Boruto who was characterized wanting to spend time with his father …Weirdly decided NOT chase Naruto, which even funny enough Mitsuki pitches in the idea of possibly catching up to Naruto even though they arrived a bit late. Though it does make Boruto a bit angry Naruto knew he was going to arrive with lunch, Naruto just did not have the time. He felt a bad air with the new events, so he had to make sure not to waste anymore time. Can you blame him though? He is the Hokage after all.

This really does not prove much here, but I thought it was quite hilarious that Boruto, Naruto’s own son called him a doofus. Isn't that a bit ironic? Kishimoto has been leaving short hints around that Boruto is not really quite unintelligent, especially in the areas that Naruto lacked. I remind you, the parallels come from the mischievous side and pranking. Now I’m going to combine the last three panels and analyze it in my opinion at once.

In the situation (before and after) his conversation with Sarada, Boruto was pretty laid back on it all. When Sarada voiced her thought on taking the Bento to Naruto himself, you would think Boruto would really join himself (mostly because his father is the one he wants to spend time with), but he gave the Bento to Sarada after she Tnj’d Boruto, I mean gave him her honest opinion on it, and having a respectable conversation between two friends. What he brushed off as is something opposite of Naruto. Even after Sarada’s speech Boruto notices something odd about her wording, and plea for the Bento, which he responds “You've got issues” which is not really strange. The reason for her bringing this Bento, is to have an actual excuse to follow Naruto, when and if she gets caught.
I want to state that what I wrote is from my opinion, I never stated these as facts.
>Voice for Boruto movie (I'm impressed by his voice actor- nice vocal range for a lady playing a little boy just as Naruto's VA, Junko, was.)
>Has confidence in himself (He was ready for the Chuunin exams unlike every other kid bar Mitsuki who complained about them.)
>He's the only kid to have prodigy hype.
>He'll be the only child to be closely affiliated with both Naruto (as his son) and Sasuke (his master later on).
>His jacket with that pink is unique as well.
And his complaints don't bother me. Mainly since I do volunteer work that involves children (and kids that age do complain often). Plus, in the actual Naruto Gaiden series itself all the kids w/ exposure have been complaining/ not thankful enough in regards to their parents.
