You guys must have completely forgotten that the Boruto anime and the manga are in a Fullmetal Alchemist anime and manga situation: Studio Pierrot already knows that there's no way they'll be able to adapt the manga until many, many years down the line, so they basically got the go-ahead to write their own story while occasionally adapting the manga as it permits.
