What are your thoughts on the Boruto Manga?

Not so Great? = Shit, Horrid art(improving though), no real new material even though it's reaching a full year since it's announcement along with only getting a monthly release to show stuff that has been seen already. Least thing I'm looking forward to. Expected better. Not enough info to be compared to the Naruto series, much less call it great. Who cares.


Greatness? = Doing better and gets better treatment with the anime quality than the Naruto series, Also better in every way. Story is better, along with superior characters in every way, shape or form. Excited/looking forward to every chapter release. Love the material thus far. Better than the Naruto series as a whole.

The things listed above is what I got from observing members associating with this manga(some in particular seem very passionate about it). Now I want to know what the base thinks. Is it Greatness? Or Not so Great? Which do you lean toward more if anything?

Vote above in the poll.

It's still a recap of the movie except for those 3 pages on the first chapter which is somewhat BS but still interesting. So people cannot have final thoughts on it yet.

Im glad theyre recapping the movie. Gives the mangaka time to improve his art, maybe make small tweaks with how they tell the story, and also provide us with more coverage of their fight. It's really not that bad, better than no Naruto at all.

Edit: Also, maybe include a third option. Do I think it's greatness? Hell no, it just started and it is a recap. But do I think can become pretty good? Yeah. Seems like it could be an interesting premise, and with a new mangaka there's no telling how much it could improve.

Not so great, i still can't find a good reason as to why we're having a recap other than wanting more money. If ikemoto wanted to practice his art skills, he should've done a post movie arc introducing kawaki and stuff than a slightly altered recap....

Absolute shit in many aspects. I don't know what the producers are thinking, to be honest. Not only it's monthly and the story now moves with the pace of a snail, but evidently they are going to spend the entire first year on the recap of the movie everyone has already seen.

The interest will die out completely until it gets to the post-movie part, and the current dramatic drop of activity in the fandom indicates it clearly. It's a stillborn project made for the sole purpose of milking the popular tittle, nothing more.

To me its nothing more than a filler. Now when I say filler I mean filler while knowing its canon. The original manga was where the real story of the show was. This is more for fans who can't get enough of Naruto. Who have no interest in other newer anime. I for one have moved on to newer anime. Hence why this manga is waste of time for me.

First vote for greatness! lol

On topic: I think that it's great that Kishi will supervise another artist moving the story along further than Kishi himself gave us, which should be something that makes everyone here happy whether or not it takes a long time to get to that point. Even if it were weekly chapters, it only takes a few moments to read it for the week and then you're waiting anyway. So just try not to get discouraged.

Off topic: The recent chapter was great. You can tell that the new mangaka is improving with each chapter. Also, it raised a few concerns. Obviously Naruto's chakra cloak is slightly altered with a different person's interpretation, but was that the Yang seal still on his hand, that should have disappeared after he performed Chibaku Tensei with Sasuke? Even if the seal were to have stayed Naruto has a new arm so it should have been lost anyway? Not to mention the seals returned to Hagoromo's hands. The circle I saw could have just been part of the KCM, but I'm not so sure about that. It's even on his right hand.

tbh, for this forum to continue, we really need new material of Naruto, so we can spend our time to discuss and more important is the wait for the new chapter.

But part of me want it to stop at 700th.

Honestly now that art is getting better I don't have many complaints. Annoyed with the rehash but I've got other manga to catch up on so waiting another 2 months or so isn't such a big deal anymore

Unless we get some hints about what will happen in the future in the recap (at least give us something), it will remain a disappointment.

I get it that technology can replace ninja, but I'd like something a little more concrete than the theme of the Boruto movie.

DBS was the same way. It covered both of the movies in the beginning so a lot if people were bored of it. Once it got new material, it started to pick up the pace. Now I really enjoy it. So you can't really say anything about the manga as of yet, just bash the artwork on it (I know DBS has had it's dark moments too).
