Does the mangaka do the story too?
I think if kishi/sh want a good artist and good story teller, they could ask the author of sd naruto.
No. He only does the art. The other guy from Gaara Hiden and Boruto novel edition is doing the writing. It's odd because the combo usually have one good at one department, but the art said otherwise.

He wrote Leeten, Narusaku, Nejihina..and the stories were good. If he has dignity, he will decline.Does the mangaka do the story too?

WWWooooowwwww....
That was so amazingly awful! This is what they follow up Naruto with? Makes you appreciate Kishimoto's art even more.
So, I'm sure Kishimoto drew the color page, and he might have drawn the first for bw pages. But the rest of it is by the new guy...and it shows. There's a little more detail in the hair and ripple of the clothes, but there is minimal background and minimal detail lines/hash marks everywhere (kishimoto loved both), the poses were awkward, the faces were hastily drawn and flat, and there is just so much white space everywhere. But most imporantly it's the BIG DEAD EYES! Everyone has them. It's unsettling.
Hinata no longer looks like herself. And it's not just the deflated chest. She looks entirely different. In fact, I thought she was a baby sitter or some other Hyuuga clan auntie in the first scene with her. Took me a few more frames before I realized it was truly Hinata. They've just made her into a different character.
Would it be awful to say that I was hoping/expecting that Naruto was going to ask Sasuke if he was going to see Sakura while he was in the village? I was almost sure there would be some ribbing/chiding/prodding by Naruto to Sasuke to hang around for a while. Especially mentioning that Sakura looked like she was missing him. Would have been very Team 7-like. I actually surprised it didn't happen.
I like that the ending has already been laid out in the first pages. Kind of acknowledges the flaws of the Naruto manga with it's accordioning storyline, expanding to fit a multitude of pointless characters/story arcs over multiple years. Beginning Boruto this way kind of signals that they've already mapped out the whole story. (Which they didn't do in the second half of Naruto, after Pain.)
So on one hand, I'm pleased that the storyline has enough of a hook to be interesting: Spoiled child of 'Child of Prophecy' Kage goes against everything his father ever loved and worked for. I'll stick around to see how that plays out. The design look cool; older, scarred Boruto looks tough; and his tattoo design and Sasuke's cloak make him feel more powerful and less like a spoiled brat. And the colored page in the beginning was by far the most interesting thing in the manga.
However, as a Naruto fan, the whole characterization of Naruto and treatment of him did nothing but make me mad. Like, he deserved so much better than this. I was really ticked when the kid threw Naruto's old coat out the window! It was just so sad! I don't feel sympathy for Boruto. Instead I felt like i couldn't believe that Kishi and the other dude would trample on this symbol of a young Naruto who had to work so hard just to NOT BE HATED BY EVERYONE!!!! And here this punk kid throws it out the window in a temper tantrum.
It's one thing to show a kid rebelling against his dad. It's another to show the kid trying to tear down the things that were once so special to his dad.
I wonder if this is another Japanese cultural thing, like choosing doting housewife Hinata over self-assured Sakura. Maybe the cultural subtext here is that so many kids are choosing a different path than they're fathers.
Anway, Sakura still looked pretty. All the girls were doe-eyed, and their hair was wavy. Very un-Kishimoto-like. But at least they didn't mess up Sakura. She looks better than Hinata, that's for sure.
So when does the next one come out?
edit: Oh yeah, so is Boruto supposed to be the Sasuke/Itachi character — the nukenin who doesn't care about Konoha or its ninjas — while the other dude is supposed to be the heroic-Naruto type? It would make a better story if Konoha had radically changed except for some sky scrapers. As it is, it doesn't seem like Boruto has much to overcome expect his bad attitude. Which, come to think of it, is very Sasuke-like.

The prophecy should be about ninja world rather than the world peace as a whole. It easier to make new conflict.So frog...
About that prophecy...

Wait THAT ikemoto he's been assisting in Naruto for over 15 years!? Why is he so crap at copying kishi art style?!

It's true.
They must have looked at the chapter and went "...They are copying the movie for the rest of the year...Whelp. Back to filler everyone."
He wrote Leeten, Narusaku, Nejihina..and the stories were good. If he has dignity, he will decline.
Yeah i don't think he particularly likes this story since he has already been mocking it since the Last movie, and is continuing in mocking bolt.

Wow, a parody? Already?

That "This is my story" part killed me.
If this was the actually manga then I would read it in a instant.
Which I've told you - time and time again - is dangerous! There will never be consensus, son, among those you have helped to ascend. They will all differ in their views of what it means to be free. The peace you so desperately seek does not exist.
These men are united now by a common cause. But when this battle is finished they will fall to fighting amongst themselves about how best to ensure control. In time it will lead to war. You will see.

I like that part too "This is my story *image of the sales figure dropping like a stone* Wait! My dad is part of my story!"
Also it lampshades that Salad is more engaging a character then the main character.

For some reason that reminds me of Sonic for hire. I don't know why.

Now that Naruto dead while leaving everything almost 99% unchanged ... does he still considered to be the Child of Prophecy ?? or that torch now has been passed to Boruto and he is the Child of Prophecy now??
According to Sage Toad prophecy the Child of Prophecy /COP will either End the war and restore Peace or bring Chaos/Destruction to Shinobi world, Naruto is dead [or MIA for now], Konoha is in ruin, War broke out everywhere and many death, that makes him the latter.

An out of control man needs a strong woman to control him.
And even a violent woman will become soft and tender to the man she love.

in other words naruto failed he failed his master and he failed his cousin nagato uzumaki it doesn't matter if the torch is passed down he was the child and he failed meaning everything after pein was worth nothing

That parody was hilarious. 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but did Naruto just call Hinata a 'handful of nothing'? If so, I love this artist more.

well, he's not supposed to copy kishi style exactly, i think. this is ikemoto's chance at showing his own style.
kishi had 4 people helping him with shadings, backgrounds (think ikemoto did that), character outline, etc etc, and i doubt ikemoto a no-name artist can afford that much assistants to help him.
