Mixed Feelings
I deleted my previous Boruto manga review because I felt like it didn't really reflect my feelings on the manga any longer. A few years have passed and the Boruto fanboy in me has disappeared. I've learned to love what there's good about Boruto, but also I dislike that which is to blame. I won't elaborate much on this review, if you want to see a more in depth review of my thoughts on Boruto as a whole I suggest you read my Boruto anime review, that goes over everything, anime-only and not.

So, TL;DR, for me Boruto is a manga that has a very unappealing art direction, with bad panelling, bad art style and underwhelming battle coreography, it has a subpar story with a group of of very poorly written villains and some problems with power scaling. I do think, though, that Boruto does a good job at writing the main characters, namely Boruto and Kawaki. These two characters feel just right from a shonen perspective, and without getting into spoilers, I think their growth and character development throughout the manga is really interesting. There are also some hype moments here and there that make up most of what people like about this manga, namely Naruto using a new transformation, so there's plenty to like in this sequel to Boruto.

I do recommend Naruto fans to give this manga a read, but to keep their expectactions in check, because it is worse than Naruto in pretty much every single way.
