This review may contain spoilers. I'm not going to lie to you. I didn't have high hopes for the manga impressing me. I heard a negative review of it and it was hard for me continue to watch Boruto past the pre-Momoshiki arc filler. The pacing of the story in the anime was slow, Boruto didn't have an established motivation for being a ninja, and there was a lot of focus on the tension in Boruto's relationship with his father and Hokage of the Leaf Village, Naruto Uzumaki. However, I've been having a pleasant experience with the manga. The art is great, the story surprises me with every new plot development, and I like the development in Boruto's character after the Momoshiki arc. He seems to take being a ninja seriously and tries to live up to the same ideals of being a ninja as his father while forging his own path. Boruto's generation doesn't really have as much of a focus in the manga as they do in the anime. But I'm not really bothered by that since (in my opinion) they don't really have the same charm as Naruto's generation. Some of them are copies of his generation in their personalities and techniques. If you're someone who dropped the anime but is curious about how the story proceeds during and after the Momoshiki arc, then I would give the manga a try.
