5/5 Stars (%89/100)

Not going to lie this was a really good volume. The fight between Code and our heroes continues and finally comes to an end in this book. I'm not going to spoil, of course, but the plot thickens regarding Momoshiki and Boruto's relationship. I'm also really liking Kawaki and still can't believe how he is going to turn evil (supposedly). I also feel like Amado still has soooo many secrets. The ending of the volume was very climactic and made me curious. If they continue like this, they might be able to save this series.

Prosegue la storia, che dopo una parte che ho trovato in stallo, ricomincia ad essere più movimentata in quanto in questa parte inizia con una nuova avvincente trama.

Volume 17: Chapter 64-67
Arc 5: Code's Assault

- Boruto managed to channel Momoshiki's power without being taken over by Momoshiki. Boruto fights with Code. Suddenly, Boruto collapsed.

- Naruto and Shikamaru go to the fight place. Naruto come into Sage Mode.

- Boruto was possessed by Momoshiki. Momoshiki started to fight with Code. Naruto and Shikamaru arrived at the battlefield. Shikamaru being caught by Code. Momoshiki wants to help Code to kill Naruto. He then used Oodama Rasengan on Naruto.

- The attacks being absorbed by Kawaki. Kawaki awakened a new Karma that will act as a weapon. Kawaki vs Momoshiki. He can used Isshiki's abilities; Sukuna Hikona and Daikokuten.

- Boruto regained his consciousness. Boruto and Kawaki already planned something. Kawaki then stabbed Boruto. Boruto dies.

- Kawaki fights Code. Kawaki get the upperhand. Code collapsed and will be blast off by Kawaki. He then pull Daemon using the Claw Marks and reflected Kawaki's attack. Kawaki get blown away and defeated. Code fled off.

- Boruto is still alive. Momoshiki has resuscited Boruto using Karma. The Karma is 82% complete extracted. Another 18% was used to rebuild Boruto's cell and tissue. Momoshiki now cannot resurrect. Boruto now is pure genuine Ohtsutsuki and ready to be fed to Juubi.

Je vais malheureusement rejoindre les autres avis des chroniqueurs de Babelio avec encore une fois un tome qui est peu convaincant. Et pourtant vu la fin du volume seize de Boruto, j’attendais pas mal de ce tome-ci. Mais non, c’est un peu comme si les mangakas ne savaient pas trop quoi faire de tout le potentiel qu’ils avaient sous la main.

Je ne suis pas fan du délire Ôtsutsuki de base avec la possession, la destruction du monde (sans réelle raison ou très peu), et du fanatisme ambiant, mais je m’étais fait une raison. Avoir un ennemi qui est ultra dangereux, ça motive les troupes, n’est-ce pas ? Bah pas vraiment en définitif, parce qu’à part Boruto et Kawaki, on ne voit pas trop les autres se bouger, et là je parle de tous les villages concernés. Mais bon, passons, on veut mettre en avant nos deux héros, ça j’avais compris.

Le truc c’est que pour le coup, les héros emblématiques de Naruto passent clairement pour des andouilles et des incompétents. Et là, ça fait mal… Entre un Naruto qui agit dans l’urgence, qui perd ses moyens, une Hinata que l’on rambarde dans son rôle de femme au foyer, d’une Shikamaru qui se fait surprendre comme un bleu (on parle du bras droit de l’Hokage quand même…). Le côté nostalgie en prend un sacré coup, et ça commence à m’agacer.

Le combat contre Code aurait pu être sympathique, mais là encore, j’ai eu du mal. Graphiquement, on ne comprend rien. Alors oui, on ressent la puissance, la force des attaques mais de là à appréhender vraiment ce qu’il se passe… Et puis le fait qu’Ada nous commente tout (toujours avec son frère accroché à elle…). Oui, vous sentez que je lève les yeux. Et puis soudainement, on passe à un affrontement fratricide entre Boruto et Kawaki. Le côté dramatique est là, j’entends bien, mais c’est tellement mal amené que pour moi, ça casse. C’est comme Kawaki qui veut plus que tout protéger Naruto. Là aussi, c’est too much. Pour moi, la construction des liens entre la famille de Naruto et Kawaki n’a pas assez été exploité pour que l’on en arrive à ce niveau-là.

Là où par contre, j’ai plus apprécié le tome, c’est grâce à Momoshiki. Qui l’aurait cru ? Même si j’ai l’impression que l’on tourne un peu facilement comme une nouvelle relation Karuma / Naruto, sa présence a au moins eu de l’intérêt pour moi. Le fait que Kawaki aie retrouvé la forme est aussi sympathique, ses combats étant beaucoup plus attrayants. Donc il y a un peu de positif dans tout cela.

Ce ne fut pas une lecture sans plaisir, mais je persiste, on est loin, très loin du niveau de Naruto. Et on voit tellement de similitudes que l’on ne peut pas s’empêcher de les comparer. Boruto étant une pâle copie malheureusement. J’ai du mal à croire à la lutte fratricide entre les deux héros. Tout va trop vite et il n’y a clairement pas le basculement que l’on a pu connaître entre Naruto et Sasuke. Cela manque de crédibilité globalement.

Pourquoi est-ce que je continue donc ? Question légitime. Déjà parce que j’ai envie de comprendre. Ensuite, les mangakas nous ont appâtés bien comme il faut avec la scène d’ouverture du manga. Et pour finir, j’y crois encore. Ou du moins, je crois plutôt à la suite de cette saga, Two Blue Vortex. Du peu que j’en ai vu, c’est prometteur, et impossible de commencer la saga sans avoir lu celle-ci.

I so desperately want to give this a lower rating because the end of this volume made it so obviously clear Naruto has been completely rewritten as a character and is no longer a symbol of the character we all grew up loving and now much more so a vessel/vehicle (for lack of a better word) for this new series. There is no version of Naruto that would’ve matured into a man that angers at shikamaru’s concern all for the sake of defending a child he’s known for a week that just murdered his son.

The fighting in this volume was 10/10, Boruto somehow reflecting his father as a jinchuruki (but for the gods) is absolutely sick and crazy and sick. The story thickening is incredible, Kawaki is clearly becoming looser and looser of a cannon (and stronger), Boruto is maturing insanely quick and becoming the most likable character by a long shot (dare I say, as likable as Naruto growing up). Amado is appearing more and more as the most psychologically manipulative character in the entire Naruto verse. GOATED

I really wish they didn’t give shikamaru the goatee, I assume they did it in fear that not giving him facial hair would make him look the same age, but the Nara genes are crazy id believe that he still looked youthful yet had matured, the goatee is awful.

Volume 17 features probably the most hype and intense moment among all of Boruto thus far with Boruto and his Bro Kawaki enacting a plan they'd described off-panel so long ago. It was so cool to see it happen and watch Naruto and Shikamaru, none the wiser see what happens. Even Shikamaru's reactions after it happened and towards Naruto were interesting. Shikamaru himself has been interesting the entire Boruto saga as in Naruto/Shippuden he was more chill and occasionally gave into anger emotions, but now, he tethers on the most dislikeable and hatable character, even now I felt he was a bit too harsh towards Naruto and Kawaki for what happened. Naruto remains himself even through it all. Still it was a powerful and incredible moment.

I look forward to what happens next. Kishimoto is a genius storyteller.

[Subham]

You know this manga just gets better with every volume as next we have pure action scenes as Momoshiki has arrived once again and its him vs Code and its glorious, the arrival of naruto and how things change, Kawaki having the typical anime power up moment in order to protect what he has to and I love that. Its one of the things that was fore-shadowed earlier but comes to pass nd it pays off so well and kicks the story into 2nd gear and just the fight.. I can actually imagine its anime scene of fight choreography and I love it, amazing stuff and what a middle and an end with revelations that will change the whole series going forward! Like I say every time it gets better!!

[In_Mart]

Un tome entièrement consacré à la baston. Le climax est impressionnant mais tout se résout avec une pirouette qui arrange bien nos héros, si je comprends bien. Reste que l'antagoniste risque de réapparaître bien assez vite, avec toujours des présages funestes... on approche la fin de la première partie du manga, et j'ai toujours du mal à deviner comment on va arriver à la scène du flash-forward du premier chapitre.

[Bradley]

This is some pretty hardcore revelation.

"You know what to do, bro."

It was pretty damn shocking. I admit it, I was sucked right in and started tearing up.

Wicked stuff. I really feel the time-skip closing in.

[Julie]

This series has been quite good right from the start. I am liking the new generation of characters, the older characters, the new baddies, the back-and-forth as some characters' motivations remain questionable... but also and especially Naruto forever being Naruto.

[Icarus]

Ngl I'm starting to dislike Kawaki alot. He's like the rip-off version of Sasuke and not in a good way at all.
Also a very inconsistent character, and don't even get me started on Naruto... fucking ass loser grow some backbone MY GOD YOU'RE FRUSTRATING ME!

[Nehemiah]

Thouraly enjoyable fight, the whole resurrection happened way to quick for it to mean anything that he died, i think boruto as a story is compensating pace as a format of evolution from Naruto but it doesn't help itself

[Cohen Muters]

If Momoshiki can never be resurrected again, then why did he save Boruto? Does he really just want to spectate? Also if this were genin Naruto he would’ve made like fifty shadow clones and hid them before going after Code, and then when Code let his guard down he’d jump him and win.

3.5

[Charly Rojas]

El mejor volumen del año

[Suhail Mohammed]

I’ve read this few weeks ago, so I don’t remember what exactly happened in this volume. Giving it 4 stars anyways

[Abi Gael]

Me estás perdiendo, Boruto.

[Verity Moon]

Dayum! This volume is exhilarating at best! Stakes are getting higher and higher!

[Khalid Mahamoud]

Cannot lie this volume was extremely boring and uneventful

[Maria]

Bellissimo.

[Gretchen]

Boruto and Kawaki face off against Code. Naruto and Shikamaru race to assist. #Edelweiss+

[Matthew Manchester]

It's been 18 months since I've read Boruto and I returned smoothly. I really enjoy this series.

[Abril C]

Puntuación: 8.00 / 10.00

[Lynnette]

Code, Boruto, and Kawaki continue their fight! Who will win? How far will Kawaki go to protect Naruto?

[Milly]

awesomely done

Amazing art, action packed definitely just as good, if not better than the anime.
Can’t wait for next issue to be release !

[Josh Baca]

4/5 a little confusing in what boruto can and can’t control so the power scaling is awkward. But kawaki trying to kill Boruto on his own accord was great tbh. I legit though boruto was dead dead LOL

[Cullen Dillow]

Such an action packed and entertaining volume. The cliffhanger… 😳 Looking forward to the next one.
