This review will be short and sweet. Actually, instead of sweet, I would rather use harsh. Following are the points that explain my score for the manga-
1. It merely serves as a template for the anime. Way too fast-paced without any real character development but rather character highlights.
2. Even though it serves as a template for the anime there are some severe inconsistencies between the anime and manga. Case in point- Sarada in the anime is shown to have a 2 tomoe Sharingan in the fight against boro and had a 1 tomoe Sharingan till then. In the manga, however, she has a 3 tomoe ... Sharingan in that same fight. Furthermore, some central side characters in the anime don't even exist in the manga
3. While training arcs mostly have the same formulae in most shonen anime they can serve as a breather in the middle of all the action and the main storyline and can add a lot to the character development. This is merely glossed over in the Boruto manga.
4. Some characters are purely there for fanservice. Showing Metal Lee i.e son of rock lee for barely one chapter in this 60+ chapter ongoing manga is just sad.

Look, I understand it's a monthly manga and if it does not have hype in almost every single chapter it just won't sell well. But that is one point that should have been taken into consideration before creating this garbage. And I haven't listed out all the bad points in the manga in the above points. There are plenty more which you can find in this manga. To conclude, I will say if you are really into the naruto universe WATCH THE ANIME even tho it has a truckload of anime-original episodes and arcs out of which only a tiny amount are actually good(Sarada Uchiha Arc and Time Slip Arc). The rest feel like fillers and are bland and tasteless. If you can get through that there are some really well-animated scenes as well as way better world and character building. Only read the manga if you don't have the patience for waiting for the anime. ONCE AGAIN THE MANGA MERELY SERVES AS A TEMPLATE FOR THE ANIME.
