Why Boruto Is Better Than Fans Think
Over its ten years of publication, Boruto has proven incredibly divisive for Naruto 's fanbase, but it's much stronger than many fans think. 2026 is proving to be a promising year for the original series, with details finally materialising around Naruto's long-awaited return in 2027. Naturally, after a few difficult years, the wait is excruciating to see more of the iconic shōnen that defined countless childhoods and that lives in the hearts of untold anime fans.
When it comes to bridging the gap until then, Naruto fans have plenty of manga to choose from to scratch the itch. However, the irony is that the best way to fill the gap is by going directly to its sequel.
The fact is that Boruto is incredibly good on its own terms. While many Naruto fans have misgivings about it, many of those misgivings are simply misguided or misinformed. From the franchise's tightest storytelling in many years to a cast comprising some of its most compelling characters yet, Boruto is already a fantastic series with nowhere to go but up.
