The problem is monthly

[123fire]

The problem isn't the content it's the monthly release that kills the hype!!

We need the anime to surpass the manga like DBS so it becomes the source material. DBS had so much hype because the anime was the main story/canon of the series not the manga and it was weekly

Even if that was the case, isn't the anime going to end when it reaches episode 102 anyway?

that was fake

Problem is; that aint the problem. It lacks hype/intensity. Something we had/looked forward to in its parent series.

Oooh, really?XD

There is only 1 way to bring back the hype. Scrap these fodder characters and give us back Naruto and Sasuke. The reason DBS was a success was because it didn't focus on Goten,Trunks or Pan

are u sure? the latest chapter with KK and KONOHAMARU BURNING ALIVE WAS INTENSE. unless ofcourse u are blind

The content isn't very good either but yes, the most glaring issue is that monthly release of a manga which already isn't especially amazing tends to make people lose interest

Monthly releases like AOT and manga which are infamous for hiatuses like Hunter x Hunter or Berserk which still maintain a devoted fanbase are proof that you can indeed make sparse releases work but the quality of Boruto's story isn't good enough to accomplish that

The problem is the MC and the monthly releases don't help either. Even if they weren't monthly then it would be worse writing than it already is. It takes Kodachi a whole month to write how he's going to focus soley on Boruto. If he has to do it weekly then all other characters will disappear and cease to exist with the very little screen time they get.

We only continue reading Boruto because it's Naruto's next generation ...
I don't care about Sarada , Mitsuki and Boruto , all I care about is Sasuke , Naruto and Shikamaru ... The best Ikemoto can do is to kill Boruto and continue the series with NaruSasu as MCs .

I agree OP. Basically, here is how it is:

Boruto manga chapters have about the same amount of progression as a Naruto chapter did (and Naruto wasn't really so fast paced in terms of progression), but Naruto could get away with it due to weekly releases. Boruto cannot get away with it due to monthly releases.

I've kept up with two other monthly mangas (DBS and To Love Ru Darkness) and they both do monthly releases a lot better than Boruto. Unlike with Boruto, both DBS and To Love Ru Darkness had at least something relatively significant happen in just about every chapter. There is almost always some form of progression. Boruto manga however allows for chapters where nothing really happens (like that chapter where they were just testing out the ninja tools). This, coupled with monthly release, makes for what seems like a manga that moves at a snail's pace. At least things are finally getting good though with KK, Karma seal, Kawaki, etc...

Keep telling yourself that.

..then it would be worse writing than it already is. It takes Kodachi a whole month to write how he's going to focus soley on Boruto. If he has to do it weekly then all other characters will disappear and cease to exist with the very little screen time they get.

The horror. It is not only about Boruto being the main character and get the focus but the plot doesn't even feel right. Something is wrong with the way Kodachi writes.

Well that might be true. But it was another arc as same as others.

 

[kiiro]

Agreed, I have thought this always. The manga is very good indeed.

I would like some flashbacks or some hype of past Hokages.
