Boruto has a running manga and anime. But both series although having the same characters are telling the story of the next generation of the leaf differently. As such you might be surprised where the manga is if you haven’t followed it.
This will serve as a recap for the manga from Boruto helping bring down Momshiki to the recent chapter. This will be covering what I think are the major moments or information. So if you want to catch up completely then please check out the series as again it is different from the anime now that we have move past the movie plot. As such there will be spoilers so please if you don’t want to be spoiled stop now. AGIAN SPOILERS AHEAD.
First of is difference between Boruto abilities as the anime focuses on his eye while the manga focuses on Karma. Karma is something you get from defeating a god or a god can give to you. This how Kawaki got his as Jigen gave it to him which is a contrast from Boruto who got his upon Mommshiki death.
As mentioned above we met Kawaki who is a living weapon. No really he can’t use Ninnpo but he can change his body to make what every weapon he needs. The team meet him as an unknown ship crashed and they found the young man to be its cargo. After there agent fails to retrieve him we met an actual Kara member. Nothing to frighten as he put down as Kawaki and Boruto both used there Karma to do so which drained them. We also learned that there is a tie between Karma and the chakra symbol Tsunade and Sakura use.
We are then introduced to the Kara members or at least a few of them. Are version of the aktsuski these talented ninjas are not ninjutsu heavy as the cloak wearing counter parts. Instead they rely on cutting edge ninja tools. They do this to the point they fight using androids as we see with one who is defeated by Naruto over powering her.
Through them we learn more about Karma. Karma is this series version of the nine tails as it gives Kawaki and Boruto increased strength and chakara. But since it isn’t a tail best made of chakara they can get burned out. But there also seem to be little difference as even though they can absorb chakra we see Boruto can use that to heal himself where Kawaki couldn’t. We also learn that the Karma can open portals which leads us to current events.
Jigen the leader of Kara came for Kawaki only to face Naruto and Saskue. While the 2 put up a descent fight they were eventually powered by Jigen as we learn he not only has Karma he also is a host. Basically the karma for all of tis power serves as a way to bring the Otsutsuki back which explains why Momshiki was talking about Boruto fate. But the fight between Jigen, Naruto and Sasuke ends with Naruto being sealed. Sasuke beaten in Sakura care and team 7 with Kawaki go to the other dimension to get him back only to see another member of Kara waiting for them.
There you have it. The basics as it stands. Now if you were expecting more Shuesha has been treating this like weekly series but it only appears monthly. Something that they just finally addressed by moving it to a monthly magazine instead of Shonen Jump. Now there are more details but as I said again this a quick recap. If you have any thoughts on this please let me know. This also goes for comments as well.
