Ikemoto is the reason it's not weekly not Ukyo. ukyo wants it weekly but Ikemoto is apparently busy :coffee:

No he's busy. every mangaka can draw weekly look at oda he still draws weekly
Quote from Volume 2 of the Boruto Manga:

"Boruto is serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, but is a special case, appearing only once a month. A weekly series is usually 19 pages per chapter, so monthly would be four times that, or about 76 pages. However, Boruto is 45 to 47 pages, only 60 percent of that.

Still, it takes me about a week to produce the thumbnails, about 20 days to draw the final pages and then the rest of the time is spent on coloring and other task... So I end up using pretty much a whole month.

It's not something I asked for, and I have no idea whose decision it was, but I sure am glad Boruto is monthly..."

People don’t understand that monthly is better, seeing how boruto is going you are going to go somewhere quicker in the manga if it’s monthly instead of weekly.

Oda >>> Plebmoto don't ever compare the 2.
Don't start that shit here, please. Thank you.

. As far as art is concerned Kishimoto's style is more eye pleasing. Oda's early art sucked so much he had to redraw many of them later as he improved. He simply couldn't reuse old panels with different body proportions and all, from old drawings.

Many like his style but it still takes time to get used to it for many others. A lot of unnecessary detailing makes it a bit cluttered, and incorporating inspiration from the comics and characters from the rest of the world is a great feat but not worth starting an argument over art.

Ikemoto is incompetent not busy.
I am not fan of his art particularly but statements like this are petty. There are several monthly mangas which have even less pages. e.g.
Blue Exorcist is monthly but has like 35 pages.

Then a lot of weekly mangas do not have 19 chapters as implied above but you may get only 15-16 pages. e.g.



OP chapter with 15 pages. Sometime it may have more but not everytime. Don't forget it takes frequents breaks too.

So number of pages are very subjective thing and bashing someone for it is just uncalled for.

Don't bother he's just salty you didn't acknowledge his opinion. Look at him getting riled up like a kid. He's that triggered over his opinion of whose artwork's nice not being accepted as universal fact. What a guy he's.

Enough said. This can only be denied on purpose.

Check Hinabae post and please, don't be toxic, no one is riled up but a Mark Rothko can't be comparable to a Picasso. What really annoys me is ignorance, nothing else, i just can't stand when people are purposely ignorant.

You deliberately found a panel with minimum art for Boruto. There are some quite messy pages from OP but let's not get in to that. For there should be better examples than that you know. But I don't expect that kind of fairness from you. So whatever. Either way both art styles are different. Kishimoto's used minimum lines to express himself yet not leaving out any detail that mattered and I liked that.

Consistency is key. Higher number of pages with consistency is a bliss, when it goes the other way around, then we have a problem.
Oda's art being consistent for 11 years means you are not counting the first 10 years or so. Backgrounds are drawn by his assistants. Besides who reads OP for it's "action sequences"? I don't. Manga took 200 chapters to get interesting and then since 2011 it got draggy again.

Berserk- let me know when it's finished. It started in 1989. And is still only on 353 or 354. Consistency of frequency of churning out the series should also be taken in. If you count chapters per year Kishimoto had highest average while Naruto was running. It took least breaks and ended the story. Ikemoto- we will see but Boruto is not going to be that long anyway. Ikemoto is not that young either.
