Summary: The ninja adventures continue with Naruto’s son, Boruto!
Naruto
was a young shinobi with an incorrigible knack for mischief. He
achieved his dream to become the greatest ninja in his village, and now
his face sits atop the Hokage monument. But this is not his story... A
new generation of ninja is ready to take the stage, led by Naruto's own
son, Boruto!
Years have passed since Naruto and Sasuke teamed up
to defeat Kaguya, the progenitor of chakra and the greatest threat the
ninja world has ever faced. Times are now peaceful and the new
generation of shinobi has not experienced the same hardships as its
parents. Perhaps that is why Boruto would rather play video games than
train. However, one passion does burn deep in this ninja boy’s heart,
and that is the desire to defeat his father!
Review: I
have mixed feeling over this series. When Kishimoto release the one shot
after Kaguya defeat, I was not happy with how he handle Naruto's
future. I hate how Naruto is miserable despite how everything is
peaceful. So I hesitate reading his son's side of his story.
Lord, give me strength.
We’re
following Boruto here, and he’s clearly a brat. He believes his father
is awful because he’s always working and never pays his kids any
attention. Boruto thinks a few hours of working on a high level jutsu is
too intense, so he goes and cheats with technology rather than innate
his ability.
Naruto deserves a fucking family. I didn’t want to
pick this up and see a middle-aged man who doesn’t go home every day to
see his family, a family that seems too forced together.I’ll just say
this: I dislike that Hinata’s character arcs stripped away, so she could
be the perfect "wife" for the main character. Same with Sakura. I know
from spoilers that Sakura and Sasuke’s relationship is a joke as well.
Why did these writers take away all the female empowerment just to have
kids with specific combination abilities?
Why Sasuke is training
Baruto and not his own child? I don’t get Sarada is so happy that her
dad is helping him. When one shot, she wants to have a relationship with
her own father.
The pacing of this story is too fast. We barely
get to know the characters, and we are off to the chunin exam. The
original took the time. We get to know the dynamic team seven. Here, we
barely know what dynamic Boruto has with his teammate Sarada Uchiha and
Mitsuki.
The art style looks so degrading. It looks nothing like
Kishimoto original art style. Which is such a shame because I did like
Kishimoto art style.
In the end, Bouro is a safe start of a
sequel to a series. I didn’t mind reading, but it wasn’t great. It’s not
really my series, though.
