The Boruto manga has made its return after a three-month hiatus, with the latest chapter released, exciting fans immensely. New information regarding the storyline and character designs of the main characters post-timeskip has been revealed, making readers eagerly anticipate the official release, which did not disappoint.
Manga Plus, the online manga reading platform launched by Shueisha in January 2019, published Chapter 81 of Boruto on August 20. Many fans faced challenges accessing the platform and the Manga Plus website to read Boruto.
Servers had to handle a surge in traffic as all readers flocked to access the new chapter simultaneously. Many users reported that the Manga Plus app experienced errors, making it difficult to access the latest chapter for a period. Fortunately, the services of the online manga platform returned to normal after a brief downtime.
This is not the first time the Boruto manga has caused Manga Plus to experience issues. A similar situation occurred with Boruto Chapter 51, when Naruto unveiled the Baryon mode.
Clearly, the timeskip has rekindled the enthusiasm of Boruto fans. With Naruto playing a significant role in the story moving forward, the responsibilities of the Hokage seem to have expanded into another dimension, drawing many fans back to the Naruto saga.
Notably, the second part of the Boruto manga is now titled “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex,” which is being released as a separate manga series instead of a continuation of the Boruto series. This is in contrast to Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. The next chapter will be referred to as Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 2 instead of Boruto Chapter 82.
According to the latest developments in the story, Shikamaru has taken over the Hokage position following the disappearance of Naruto. The Leaf Village is rumored to believe that Naruto has been killed by Boruto, leading to a tense atmosphere.
The upcoming chapter will focus on the battle between Boruto, Mitsuki, and Sarada, set five years later. This confrontation is highly anticipated after Chapter 81 concludes, with Boruto needing to rescue Sarada from Code, setting the stage for an epic showdown.
The popularity of the Boruto manga is evident through its ranking on Manga Plus. Within just 24 hours of its release, this chapter garnered 200,000 readers. Boruto is currently ranked 12th on Manga Plus and is expected to quickly climb into the top 10.
