I guess it didn't get green light.

Well.......it comes out when it comes out right? I mean why do we care when? Who's actually gonna read it? Even as a joke is it actually worth your time? IDK  listening to actual comedians is an indefinitely better investment no?

The thing is we said that we wouldn't read Gaiden days after the first series ended and yet we still ended up reading it months later. At least some of us.

That will probably happen again in regards to the Boruto manga. Makes sense since we have invested too much time in the characters and story to not be curious what comes next

I think we shall read iut to make fun of it and see how much BS they will try to pull and hoiw the NH and SS fans will be or dumb about saying its good when we know that its not.

What will be interesting to me is whether Boruto the manga will be able to stand on its own, or if it will start to falter and have to bring back old characters to support it. Not just cameos here and there, but bringing back the some old character/storylines on a permanent basis.

[totherpage95]

He still has fans that willing to read his work.
Naruto is pretty much a popular manga.

but why the narusaku fans

[Namikaze Clan]

but why the narusaku fans

Dunno. 

 

Maybe out of curiosity as I pointed out earlier or just to make fun of it as others stated.  Either way I`m confident that there will be some members from this site who will read it

[TouKen4Life3g]

They better start with a good impression.

You know they won't.

Should be interesting to see. Legend of Korra managed to carry 52 epiosdes without resorting to borrowing plotlines from the first series and had a mostly solid new cast without older characters dominating the sequel. Not sure if Boruto can manage as well

Hell if what I'm predicting will happen in the Mitsuki oneshot comes true, then the Boruto manga may already rip off a certain arc of part 1

I can't imagine Boruto will be able to survive without heavily involving the original generation.

 

What I'm curious about is whether or not the manga will be willing to confront the implication that, by virtue of having new arcs and new villains and new ninjas, Naruto failed in his dream of establishing peace.

What I'm more curious about is were they will get new villains from if all the villages are on peaceful terms

[TouKen4Life3g]

I'm just curious on the art.

Well that is true although I personally don't share the sentiment. Honestly if I've invested in something I want it to be worth my time. Which going by Gaiden, isn't worth anything to me. I just find it pointless. not even worth reading just to make fun of. But don't mind me, despite my negativity I'm not criticizing anyone for wanting to read it though, I'm just speaking for myself and I only ask becasue I want to hear other's opinions

Have you seen the new characters? It can't stand on it own! It has to relies on nostalgia.

Just a certain part? Why not all? The bolt movie was a chunin exam, and the chibi thing was the genin test.

[TouKen4Life3g]

I'm willing to bet that it's going for "first series" trend. The movie was pure fan service and you can't escape the term nostalgia.

If the Boruto movie was any indication, from what I've read, I doubt it will last long completely on its own. At the very least, there will more than likely be very obvious parallels (or, as Kishi and pairing/pro-ending extremists call them now, "red herrings") to where Boruto and co. may as well just be the original cast again in some AU rather than their own "unique" characters with their own thoughts and feelings on things.

As it was brought up here (somewhere on the forum) before, the only ways they could get away with not addressing that huge contradiction will be if the antagonists are either forever more nothing but Ootsutsuki ninja from the Moon or (other ninjas from) some other dimension, or, as I imagined as a possibility, learning that the world that we know of in Naruto is actually nothing more than one tiny plot of land in a much, much bigger world. That way, they keep stretching out (repetitive) villains while still saying Naruto technically still succeeded in bringing peace in their own world.

Yes, Legen of Korra was a great example of a spin-off done right. I'm not sure that the level of quality work put into Korra will go into Boruto though. :(

So true! Yes, in the end of his own series, Naruto failed at all his goals, including bringing on an age of peace. They've got prosperity...but the big elephant in the room is who is the bad guy/force now? If it's so peaceful, then why do they still have a ninja academy that indoctrinates children into a lifetime of secret assignments and killing?

You're right - the whole design concept is a knock off. Already not a good sign.

I did mention an idea in my head to Bryon about this sort of thing where you could have a group of kids who were orphaned from the Fourth Shinobi War - essentially a new generation of Yahiko/Nagato/Konan pretty much - who also had hope that Naruto would bring about real peace and change so that others wouldn't have to suffer like they did, but as those few years went by, they would quickly realize that it was not and never was going to happen with Naruto due to shinobi still being around and used and such, so like Yahiko/Nagato/Konan, they would start a group that would vow to bring about the change Naruto failed to bring/lied about bringing and would be the protagonists of the story while Naruto and the Alliance would be the antagonists; maybe not "evil" antagonists, but their hypocrisy/contradictions would end up being brought to light as the story went on, perhaps even causing the breakup of the alliance (or even relationships) due to Naruto saying/doing something stupid like, "The protection of Konoha is the most important priority" or something, which would end up irking the other Kages due to Naruto prioritizing Konoha specifically and not the world, and could also lead to people finally calling him out on the hypocrisy of certain actions by bringing up how, by the logic he was using, then Sasuke should be dead right now, and just be a huge downward spiral that would show just how fragile or even false the peace was, perhaps even leading to a Fifth Shinobi War that the protagonists would have to stop themselves somehow.

Just a rough idea I thought of on the fly at the time so no real details behind anything, lol.
