I don't have much to say, just that I'm a HUGE fan of Boruto...

There's something about the Naruto and Boruto universe that completely captivates me, so any new content they deliver, I'm going to love!

I can admit that it does have its issues, and technically speaking, it's not as fantastic as Naruto. But I can say for sure that out of all the manga I currently follow, Boruto is the ONLY one that gets me hyped up like crazy (counting the days until the next chapter).

I believe Boruto gets a lot of unnecessary hate, and a big part of the blame lies with Twitter (or ... the internet in general). There, a wave of hate started by people who never even read it gained momentum, and it sort of became a trend to bash Boruto. I think almost 70% of the hate comes from people who jumped on this hate bandwagon on Twitter without giving it a fair chance.

Of course, every work has its own taste, and people can hate or love it. I have my dislikes too (like the character designs for the female characters).

But I see all this hate as extremely unnecessary and unfair to the series.

I think people who try to read it go in with the idea that it's a "sequel to Naruto," when it's not entirely that. I see Boruto as a separate work from Naruto, and that has completely heightened my enjoyment of reading it.

So, I'm here to say, if you're one of those people who "hate" Boruto but haven't actually read it, give it a try without the "prejudice" that's been created on the internet. Read it as if it were a new and separate work from Naruto.

If you don't like it, that's okay; sometimes, peaks aren't for everyone, haha.

Give Boruto a chance; you'll find it at the very least enjoyable, and that's the main goal.

Tenho pouco a dizer, apenas que sou MUITO, MUITO fã de Boruto...

Algo me encanta totalmente no universo de Naruto e Boruto, então qualquer conteúdo novo que me entregue eu vou amar!

Posso dizer que de fato tem problemas e tecnicamente falando não é algo maravilhoso como Naruto, mas posso dizer com certeza que de todos os mangas que acompanho atualmente, Boruto é o ÚNICO que me deixa hypado de forma frenética (contando os dias para o próximo capítulo).

Eu acredito que Boruto leva um grande hate desnecessário, sendo grande parcela da culpa, o twitter (ou o X lol). Pois lá se começou uma onda de hate por pessoas que nunca chegaram a ler, e meio que se tornou uma grande "moda" falar mal de Boruto. Acredito que quase 70% do hate vem de pessoas que compraram esse hate no twitter e nunca deram uma chance de fato.

Lógico, toda obra tem seu gosto e pessoas podem odiar ou amar, eu odeio algumas coisas também (como o design das personagens femininas)

Mas entendo esse hate todo como sendo extremamente desnecessário e desleal com a série.

Acredito que as pessoas que tentam ler, entram com a ideia de ser uma "sequência à Naruto", sendo que não chega a ser completamente. Eu enxergo Boruto como uma obra separada de Naruto, e isso aumentou totalmente o meu prazer em ler.

Então estou aqui para dizer, se você é uma dessas pessoas que "odeiam" Boruto, mas nunca chegou a ler. Tente ler, sem esse "preconceito" que foi criado na internet. Leia como se fosse uma obra nova e separada de Naruto.

Se você não gostar, tudo bem, as vezes PEAK não são para todos haha

Dê uma chance ao Boruto, você vai achar no mínimo divertido, e esse é o grande propósito.

After a long time, I decided to give Boruto a chance. As many, I've been a long-time Naruto fan and had heard how awful the continuation was. I wanted to see for myself and I can now confirm that Boruto is neither good nor as bad as some people say.

Let's look at the different aspects of the manga.

Firstly, the storyline. From the first moment, we are warned that this story will not be about Naruto, but about his son. That's the most important thing that the reader ought to keep in mind. The story revolves around a new main character and the world ... he lives in, which is way different than before. I appreciate the inclusion of technology and how it is acknowledged that this new generation has been born in a peaceful world, unlike their parents. It was them who built this new world for them, so it is not a bad thing that they are able to enjoy their lives as children. Then we are presented with the whole Ohtsutsuki conflict, which takes up most of the story. The issue here is that everything seems to be moving too fast. Not only do the characters get sudden power-ups (I'll talk about that later), but we are suddenly presented with enormous threats, one after the other. This seems a bit too much after the firsts arcs, where Boruto simply befriends a spoiled child or tries to gain his father's approval. It makes the story quite suffocating.

Following this, we have some other problems with the characters themselves. I'm not specifically referring to Boruto, who experiences a nice development over the first arcs of the story. The issue here seems to be that the author is not able to create memorable characters. For the sake of the argument, I will here mention Akatsuki - although it is not my intention to compare both series. What I'm trying to say is that those were characters that left an impression on the readers' mind, whereas no character in Boruto succeeds to do that. Yes, Boruto and Kawaki are good MCs, but the other secondary characters are poorly written. There's no depth to any of them, except those two. Moreover, the older generation seems to have become utterly useless. Naruto and Sasuke are easily overpowered by any villain - all of whom posses crazy, god-like abilities - and Hinata has apparently ceased to be a ninja. This whole "god-like power" is true for the young shinobi as well. All of them seem to have already figured out how to use some truly powerful techniques without even trying. Oh, and there's some poorly written romance as well, which feels very out of place.

I also want to briefly mention how uncomfortable the character design is. I don't want to get controversial here, but I cannot fathom why anyone would draw twelve-year-old girls like that. On the other hand, some characters are well designed, cleverly mixing the traditional "ninja style" with more futuristic looks.

The art is not remarkable. Some scenes do look bad, but not to the point that it makes the manga unreadable.

There's not much more to say about this manga. Some readers might enjoy the new, fresh approach involving technology and some others might not. I, for one, think that it was not a bad approach in the beggining, but to have all villains be super powerful thanks to scientific tools is something that makes the manga less enjoyable. However, it is not as bad as some try to make it look. I would advise giving it a chance and most importantly trying to come to terms with the idea that this is a new Konoha with new issues.

Hey everyone, Just a short review on 'the great(sarcasm) Boruto'.

When I read it first time, in starting it was good(I felt that it might be successful) but when I read further the manga, it started to feel like plain and boring and was not fun(which a shonen manga should be). I just felt like: "Yeah!! Just finish the chapter and get on to other manga". This is the first manga that made me feel like that.

1. Why it's not fun? -

As you know, that the new generation kids gets powerups out of nowhere and get some more powerups, from gods know where. Some boruto ... fans also say that he is the son of the strongest Shinobi and the hyuga princess that's why he gets powerups and becomes strong, which is bullsh*t bcz he has poweful genes, I accept but he had to work super hard to be powerful like any normal MC would do(in most shonen, which is fun to follow while reading) but no our unlikeable MC gets powerful out of nowhere.

The villians in boruto are the sh*ttest and makes no sense, they are superpowerful and they also suddenly appear then die and they don't even have a logical or reasonable reason for their actions. They are like we are doing all this for fun.

The writer was so focused on making the new gen surpass the old gen that he forgot the main fun essence of a shonen manga.. I still don't know how people are reading this sh*t, guess that's the standard of new shonen readers.

2. How is it still on going? -

The sole answer is the old generation, people wants to see their favourite characters from the OG Naruto and Shippuden. So, Boruto fans WAKE UP TO REALITY and stop thinking they are there for the so-called NEW GENERATION.

3. What is the hype about the first episode scene? -

In that scene, the total hype is about our favourite and goof ball character NARUTO UZUMAKI. Everyone wants to know what happened to him. So, once again WAKE UP TO REALITY Boruto fans, the scene has its hype bcz of NARUTO UZUMAKI and not bcz of rip off Naruto and wallmart Sasuke.

4. Why it is hated? -

i) NO INTERESTING STORY and CHARACTER to follow.
ii) Disrespect to old generation(most lovable generation) and nerfs of powerful character from OG Naruto.
iii) The MC is not lovable even after 81 chapters and didn't even work hard to get powerful.

Well, that's it for the review I could write for a whole day about it flaws and uninteresting character and story but I don't wanna waste my time on this trash. I wrote enough for a reader who wants to know how Boruto manga is....and
I AM READING MANGA SINCE 1999. SO, DON'T EVEN TRY TO TEACH ME WHAT A GOOD MANGA IS...

JAA NEE
