Honestly, I wouldn't have minded another Boruto movie, or an anime adaption of Gaiden, but the Boruto manga was such a wrong turn. 95% of it is repeating the film, and it is all-around so confusing.

It just leaves so much questions: Why were we first shown the middle of a battle between Boruto and some guy called Kawaki? Who is Kawaki and why is he supposedly so strong? When did this destruction of Konha begin? If Kawaki declares the age of ninja over, clearly implying he dislikes ninja cultural, then what powers does he use? How could Kawaki be so powerful that he could destroy Konaja? Does he have an army or something? Wouldn't have anything like the combined efforts of ninja's like Naruto, Sasuke (if he was there) Shikamaru, Sai, Hinata, Rock Lee, and even some of their kids included have defeat him? Why did the author decide to show us flashbacks of the Boruto movie with only some extra scenes? Why didn't he just show us the aftermath of the Boruto movie, then the lead-up to this Kawaki thing? Sure it would have taken long to have reached Kawaki, but wouldn't it be better than these useless flashbacks?

I don't have a good feeling about it all.
