Naruto spoilers btw

A lot of people have very negative views on Boruto, this can be attributed to the Anime and its shaky start. Unlike the anime there is obviously little filler and begins later on, just before the chuunin exams. in that sense, imagine the first ~50 episodes of Boruto's anime almost fully filler, like the ending ~100 of Naruto. Characters like Denki, the rock dude, and many of the students haven't been introduced in the manga. this is of course, to let the manga progress but since the manga is monthly it is likely that the Boruto anime will be full with filler.

Hence, you should read the manga.

Story:
Borutos story is solid, however and has a lot of inspiration for Naruto, there is an organisation that wishes to acomplish a goal and is usually done by taking some people, in Naruto its the Akatsuki taking Jinchuriki and in Boruto its spoilers. The story has a main theme of modern vs tradition, tools vs technique.

I don't think Boruto beating Momoshiki is a bad thing, people dont understand or ignore that Naruto gave basically all the rasengans chakra and Momoshiki just fought 5 Kages + Sasuke, him absorbing Chakra gives him more chakra to work with, it wouldn't cure exhaustion. I understand why naruto gave Boruto the rasengan is a bit weird but the main argument people use to dislike Boruto "He already beat a god" is giving a very out of context argument saying he is already god tier


Art;
The art is the worst part of boruto, its a bit bland and has no impact however it is consistent and there are no immediate problems from rushing the art, this, in my opinion doesnt take away from the series as a whole. Boruto isnt a story to be read for its art.

Characters:
There are very few new characters in the Manga, only consisting of Borutos squad, Kawaki and the Akatsuki equivalents of the series. Boruto heavily uses its adult cast from Naruto to carry the series, mainly Naruto and Sasuke , this is used as a slope to transition to the new cast as the old ones are (presumably) killed in the timeskip. Naruto and Sasuke are well established characters, Boruto is a lot more bearable but acts like your average shonen mc, I wont talk about Kashin but he is a decent characters, Borutos teammates are honestly cast aside in traditional naruto style pther then a few moments and the main villains, at least the ones established are good characters with varied motivations.

Enjoyment:
Its a fun read, you could do it all in one night if you tried, its only ~50 chapters as of now, i found it a lot more enjoyable than the anime (of which ive watched 50 episodes)

Overall:
Its good, if I somehow convinced you to read it, read it from the start, idk how far the anime is but i think Kawaki is yet to be introduced so there isnt much to read before you get to new chapters. a solid 8/10 id say a worthy sequel to Naruto.
