Boruto: Naruto Next Generations

was a monthly manga spin-off series within the Naruto franchise. The first 51 chapters of the series were written by Ukyō Kodachi, with the author of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto, acting as supervisor. Beginning with chapter 52 - released in November 2020 - Kodachi left the series while Kishimoto took over writing duties. Mikio Ikemoto illustrated the manga throughout its run. The series adapts the story-line of Boruto: Naruto the Movie and then continues the story afterward. The manga launched on May 9, 2016, in the 23rd issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump, and is simultaneously published in Weekly Shōnen Jump digital magazine in English. The serialisation of the manga was transferred to V Jump in July 2019.

Manga
Kodachi compares the story of Boruto to the Cold War, where a world at peace is threatened by a resumption of its prior chaos. Ikemoto's illustrations for the series are much more realistic than what was used in Naruto, and in fact he is regularly reminded by Kishimoto to make characters' mouths and eyes bigger in order to better align the two series. Ikemoto hopes to conclude the story of Boruto within 30 volumes. Until his institution as the sole writer of the series, Kishimoto, though he had no direct role in the manga's creation, nevertheless oversaw each chapter as it was being worked on. When asked if he was worried that new characters in Boruto would come off as clones of their parents, Kishimoto admitted it was a concern. He labelled Shikadai as essentially a clone of his father, while Chōchō is more a combination of her parents; he believes that both characters serve archetypal roles that are common to manga series. On June 1, 2023, it was announced the first part of the manga had concluded with Volume 20. In V Jump #8, Part II of the manga was announced, titled Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, to begin publishing in  V Jump #10.
