Board Thread:Boruto Discussions/@comment-33953813-20171214162923

Just thought about it that if Boruto was to go as long as Naruto, being a monthly issue we guys will have probably completed half century of our lives before Boruto completes his story.Here is a quote from Ikemoto:

"Boruto is serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, but is a special case, appearing only once a month. A weekly series is usually 19 pages per chapter, so monthly would be four times that, or about 76 pages. However, Boruto is 45 to 47 pages, only 60 percent of that. Still, it takes me about a week to produce the thumbnails, about 20 days to draw the final pages and then the rest of the time is spent on coloring and other task... So I end up using pretty much a whole month. It's not something I asked for, and I have no idea whose decision it was, but I sure am glad Boruto is monthly..."

So Ikemoto is drawing only 60% of what a weekly series would require, and is still struggling to meet his deadline.

If all goes like this then the anime will eventually pass the manga and we will have HUGE FILLERS.

I hope Ikemoto gets fast through the years to make it a weekly manga. What do you guys think?
