About the author

Masashi Kishimoto (岸本斉史 Kishimoto Masashi) is a Japanese manga artist, well known for creating the manga series Naruto. His younger twin brother, Seishi Kishimoto, is also a manga artist and creator of the manga series O-Parts Hunter (666 Satan) and Blazer Drive. Two of his former assistants, Osamu Kajisa (Tattoo Hearts) and Yuuichi Itakura (Hand's), have also gone on to moderate success following their work on Naruto.

Kishimoto's first work as a manga artist was Karakuri (カラクリ?), which he submitted to Shueisha in 1995. This earned him the Weekly Shōnen Jump's monthly "Hop Step Award" in 1996, granted to promising new manga artists. This was followed in 1997 by a pilot version of Naruto (NARUTO－ナルト－), published in Akamaru Jump Summer. In 1998, Kishimoto premiered as a Weekly Shōnen Jump artist with a serialized version of Karakuri in Weekly Shōnen Jump, but it proved unpopular and was canceled soon after. In 1999, a serialized version of Naruto began publication in Weekly Shōnen Jump and quickly became a hit.

Questo secondo volume mi ha stupito!
Dopo il primo ero molto scettica e invece mi sono dovuta ricredere... Dialoghi non eccezionali ma mi è piaciuto molto

[Cohen Muters]

Could Boruto have the most chopped villains? Also Kishimoto can’t stop writing peak romance between his male main characters

[Chris Lemmerman]

Fine, so far. Not much in the way of movement, but the battle between Mitsuki and Boruto was neat, and the fact that the memory magic's already beginning to get noticed gives me hope. I still just think that there's not enough actual content in these volumes given how long passes between their releases.

I MIEI PATATI BELLISSIMI❤️
Avere finalmente l'abbraccio tra Boruto e Sarada è meraviglioso, li amo da impazzire.
Mi sono commossa tantissimo alla parte di combattimento tra Boruto e Mitsuki, e nel momento in cui Boruto dice "Io sono tuo sole [...] Ti aspetterò sempre" ma io piango😭❤️
È stato bellissimo finalmente vedere Shikamaru che capisce come stanno le cose, e che piano piano Boruto abbia sempre più alleati🙏🏻
La parte finale ci preannuncia qualcosa che già sappiamo, e ci lascia con un sacco di suspence 🔥

[Siona Adams]

Solid volume, great story progression

[Danika]

HOLY SHIT THEY TURNED EVERYONE INTO A BADDIE

[Tachan]

Une suite dans la droite ligne de ce qu’on pouvait attendre : des combats, de nouveaux ennemis qui se dévoilent, quelques explications à certains personnages. Classique mais ça fait le job.

J’ai été ravie de voir l’auteur confesser l’influence de Toriyama sur lui et sa manière de mettre en scène son récit car cela devenait clairement un secret de Polichinelle tellement c’était évident. C’est d’ailleurs à nouveau le cas dans ce tome quand les héros se mettent à se déplacer en volant 😉

Quant au récit, il se suit sans déplaisir mais sans beaucoup de relief non plus. Boruto revient à Konoha et c’est l’heure des retrouvailles avec Sanada mais aussi des révélations à Shikamaru et des tentations avec Ada. Une dynamique sympathique car j’ai l’impression d’une Sanada moins transparente, d’un Shikamaru qui va prendre sa place dans tout ça et agir et d’une Ada qui va peut-être glisser de camp et se réveiller. D’ailleurs, la jolie mise en avant de Mitsuki est un bon parallèle pour la faire se rendre compte de son manque de personnalité et de ce qu’il faut faire pour changer, voire du moteur de ce changement.

A côté, nous avons des combats sans grande saveur, trop bref et sans enjeu pour être intéressants, avec des noms d’attaque frôlant le ridicule et bien loin de l’intensité de ceux de la série mère. Il en va de même pour cette mythologie autour des Ôtsutsuki à laquelle décidément je n’accroche pas. Je trouve cela bien trop capillotracté pour le peu de profondeur que ça a et de plus l’auteur ne semble pas trop quoi en faire, se prenant régulièrement les pieds dans le tapis quand il veut ajouter quelque chose. C’est le cas d’ailleurs avec les nouveaux Shinju que j’attends de voir à l’oeuvre mais que je trouve tellement nuls pour le moment, même dans leur look qui se veut marquant et qui montre combien l’auteur n’est pas un grand amateur de mode. C’est tellement peu inspiré.

J’ai l’impression de n’avoir pas dit grand-chose, c’est parce que le tome ne dit pas grand-chose non plus. Boruto revient, fait un petit coucou, tente d’en réveiller certains et repart, laissant la place aux nouveaux méchants. C’est lisible mais assez bateau aussi, avec des combats sans grande saveur et des idées assez prévisible. J’attends plus. J’aimerais retrouver l’épaisseur et la complexité dramatique de la première série et ça tarde…

From art style upgrade, to much outfit upgrades for every character, to much needed actual development of these actual characters.

I like how blue vortex instantly gives you the payoff of development that was slowly trickling in through og. Boruto becoming selfless, and independent (mainly), Kawaki pushing people further and further away and making himself alone, Mitski straight up being gay, Sarada being strong asl.

We see them grow up by 15 while still seeing some very clear struggles of the typical 15 year olds (love, crushes, misunderstandings of love, etc).

This volume was arguably cooler than the first, my big complaint is these villains from start of og all the way through volume 2 of vortex never really get reprimanded. I want to feel a true “onto the next moment” rather this series feels like an ever untangling web (sometimes doing much more tangling than untangling). However I think the new villain concept is cool, I just want to see someone get their ass beat and lose.

espero mucho de himawari. disculpen mi forma de pasarme. pero que Hot que esta boruto lpm. (y tiene 15 o 16🫠🤦‍♀️🥵 tendría que ser ilegal) es naruto mejorado con el estilo de sasuke. que más puedo pedir.

menos mal el cambio de shikamaru por que ya me estaba empezando a caer mal. aunque lo amo.

tarde ada boruto es de sarada. y en su defecto después de sarada sigue sumire. pero top sarada.
mitsuki pobre esta perdido sin su sol. y este nuevo ego de boruto. se cree el mejor y lo es o sea para, que me vas a matar.
yo no se que va a pasar con sasuke y todos lo que fueron comido por el jubii pero tengo miedo.

mi imperio romano desde que naruto fue sellado junto con hinata, es pensar que mierda van a decir cuando se despierten del sueño y vean que pasaron años. y que cambio tanto todo. es que me mata. amooo a naruto.

[The Book Dragon]

I... I really hate Sarada's outfit. She looks like a stripper, not a ninja.

But the growing threat is very interesting, because we're watching the evolution of a chakra beast in real time. What was once a kaiju sized physical manifestation of chakra with one goal: eat more. Then Code uses his powers to shave bits off to make an army of human sized chakra beasts and they... "eat" more chakra and turn into tiny versions of the divine tree. Then the divine tree can create chakra clones of the people who get "eaten".

Meanwhile, Boruto is struggling to fill the village in on what's going on without getting caught by any and everyone who wants him dead. But, thankfully, there are a few smart people (Shikamaru, thank god) who are starting to figure out that Boruto isn't a villain.

[Bethany]

This was really good. I really like how Shikamaru plays a huge role in this volume, and that he's realized the power of Omnipotence several different times but keeps forgetting. I also loved seeing Boruto and Sarada reuniting. It was really sweet to see that they still cared for each other. Mitsuki's journey to find his "sun" is really cool too. I loved how Boruto made him question who he really cares about.

Everyone was just trying to sort out their memories and tried to figure out if Boruto was an enemy or not, and it was really cool to follow along on everyone's journey. Overall, this storyline is really intriguing, and I'm always excited to read more of it.

I'm really excited to read more in Volume 3.

[Bradley]

Finally catching up with Two Blue Vortex. It's taking a while to come out, but I think, at least, it's worth the wait.

The time-skip after the switcheroo has taken SO much toll on everyone, it's almost like a brand new comic. Solid, too. It's fascinating.

Tragic, too, but it makes for interesting worldbuilding and drama that I just can't get out of my head.



Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews is be interested in reading my SF (Very hard SF, mind you), I'm open to requests.

Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.

I really like that slowly people (Amado and Shikamaru mainly, but I feel like Mitsuki might become aware soon) are picking up on the situation of Kawaki and Boruto not being right. There is much evidence to suggest that things are reversed, so I’m happy that they aren’t stuck to the rewritten memories for always (at least I hope so, because they only just started being skeptical of their memories), because that would be really frustrating to read through haha. I’m sad that both Naruto and Sasuke are both doing nothing as they’re both powerless rn, so I hoooooooppee that they will be saved someday!!!

[Mert]

4/5 Stars (%71/100)

It was good but I liked it a bit less than the previous one. Boruto was complicated enough and now we have 10 Tails doppelganger monster things walking around. Shikamaru has been doing great as the new Hokage since Naruto disappeared 3 years ago (thanks Kawaki). It is nice to see Boruto grown up and acting more and more like Sasuke (calm and strong). I'm curious to see what happens next but I should not get my hopes up because Boruto (the series) tends to screw up things.

[Verity Moon]

My ratings for Boruto: TBV keep climbing, and for good reason—it just continues to get bigger and better.

Volume 2 delivers exactly what I hoped for in this arc: Himawari stepping into the spotlight, the high-stakes consequences of Eida’s omnipotence, the intense teenage angst from a dynamic cast of characters, and the ongoing growth of our protagonist.

At this rate, Boruto might just surpass Naruto.

[Afsana]

It’s making me feel a lot better that the main cast are starting to realise the truth so early on, especially Shikamaru.

Boruto reuniting with team 7 and Sumire was very bittersweet and I can’t wait to see how the divine trees are going to be utilised.
This series is already a million times better than OG Boruto.

just me crying about naruto in 2024 like i have the past 20 years

[Lyle]

the confrontation between mitsuki and Boruto was great, Shikimaru figuring everything out was great, the escalation is fun yet I can't believe there is yet another multi-member evil super powered group using the divine tree, except this time they are the divine tree wooooo

[Alessandra]

Questo è il mio preferito per il momento, sarada sei praticamente la mia vita♥️ con quel mille falchi sei super cazzuta e cosi che ti vogliamo😂
Trovo questi ragazzi molto piu intelligenti e abili rispetto ai loro genitori alla loro età.
Ovviamente Code è stupido e alla fine non ce la fa a capire che verrà sempre manipolato da tutti ma chissà un giorno lo capirà😂

[Les Lectures de Loow (Laura)]

(4,5/5)

(risque de spoilers)

Au moins, on attend pas longtemps avant de connaître le sort de Sasuke. On le découvre rapidement. Tout comme on apprend qui sont les Shinjus. Et j'aime beaucoup leur apparence. Je suis très curieuse de leur évolution et de ce qu'ils vont faire par la suite.

[Adrián]

Definitivamente doy mucho más por esto que su primera mitad. Vemos cosas interesantes (MENOS MAL).

[and of green gables]

Si Himawari e Inojin quedan juntos, acuérdense de mí, yo lo predije desde el capítulo 33 del anime.
Si no quedan juntos 🤡 pero no me importa.

[**Sognatrice di libri**]

3 stelle e 1/2

Sto leggendo questa parte della serie solo per scoprire come andrà a finire non perchè mi sta prendendo come ha fatto invece la serie principale.

[Nehemiah]

This is really fun holy shit
