Is Boruto becoming a more worthy follow-up to Naruto as the story progresses?

I think ever since the last arc of the first part, we only got banger after banger even when it comes to storytelling and battles.
With chapter 7 leaks being out and being even more of just that.

Also, I appreciate some of the attempts of making the later retcons of the original manga less bullshit than what they were (the little expansions on the chakra lore and the Outsutsuki clan as a whole really helped some of the content that disappointed me before be a bit more palatable in retrospect).

I'm still ?????? on how Orochimaru just got away with all his crimes and now is buddies with the good guys, but hey, at least it's so sidelined that I can kinda ignore for the most part...

But all in all, Boruto really went from a sad joke of an excuse to keep the franchise going, to something I actually am reading and enjoying quite a bit. Not sure if that's an unpopular opinion to be had about the series, since at least Part 2 has been overall well received, but my compliments do extend to the weaker parts of the first part building up to this, despite them being mostly just ok.

Tell me about your impressions too, as I'm curious if more people agree that this is going in the better direction it could have gone.

What would be the classic version of him, it was really bad, but as an adult he's being awesome!

boruto is bad as a sequel but if u look at it as only boruto without naruto it's a very decent manga . especially the core 1 ending and the latest chapters r very good .

I agree with you. But Naruto didn't even need a sequel, so I voted for no.

Unnecessary cash grab sequel no one asked for. Only the movie was good.
So that's a no from me. Naruto fell off the War arc onwards imo (Shippuden was inconsistently going between good to ass on/off throughout anyway)

Boruto’s first arcs were pretty bad and inconsistent, and I think everyone can agree with that, however from what I’ve read, in the beginning Boruto wasn’t meant to be a true and genuine sequel but just a moneymaking piece of content, but since the rise in popularity especially during Covid, Kishimoto noticed how “important” it was for many people and therefore he started writing the story himself again, and coincidentally that’s exactly when it became enjoyable. To conclude, I think that anyone who approaches this manga should just have an open mind, and almost forget who was the prequel’s MC, which is what made it more enjoyable for me, however if you’re a Naruto diehard fan, you’re definitely gonna have a rough time reading it all

If they keep cooking this way it might become even better than Naruto, Boruto is becoming a more compelling character, not a generic noisy and kind-hearted protagonist

I am surprised as well. So far it is much better than Boruto. The 7 chapters did really well. Something I could not say about many other sequels to old property. Like DBS is still a joke.

Boruto has always been hellish decent, the manga and the anime. Way better than other shonen cash grab sequels not made by the author such as DBS, FT100YQ etc

What would you expect ? Kishimoto himself (A.k.a The GOAT) is handling the writing now... and he knows what we want more than any.

Boruto has a good plot and power system. That's about it. The characters and overworld barely have any depth and the art isn't great. The most important things that need changing are the art and publishing schedule. This should be a bi-weekly manga and the art really needs to be better. Kishimoto is a much better artist than Ikemoto, and also much less creepy. The overworld and characters lacking depth is fine if JJK can get away with it lol.

Never understood the hate for Boruto, TBH. I always liked the show.
