Boruto Manga Takes 1-Month Break

The official X (formerly Twitter) account for the Naruto and Boruto manga franchises announced on Friday that the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga will not appear in the October issue of Shueisha's V Jump magazine that will ship on August 21. The manga will return in the next issue, which is the November issue that will ship on September 18.

Manga storywriter Ukyō Kodachi and Mikio Ikemoto launched the Boruto sequel manga in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in May 2016, and the manga ran monthly in the magazine. The manga transferred to V Jump in July 2019. Original Naruto manga creator Masashi Kishimoto replaced Kodachi as the manga's storywriter in November 2020, starting with the manga's 52nd chapter.

The manga went on hiatus in April 2023 and returned with the Two Blue Vortex arc in August 2023. Shueisha published the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga's eighth compiled book volume on June 4.

Shueisha's MANGA Plus service and Viz Media are both publishing the manga digitally, and Viz Media is publishing the manga in print.

The Boruto: Naruto Next Generations television anime premiered in Japan on TV Tokyo in April 2017. The anime's "Part I" ended with its 293rd episode in March 2023, and "Part II" of the anime has been green-lit.

Viz Media licensed the anime and streamed it on Hulu as it aired in Japan, and Crunchyroll also streamed the anime. The anime began airing on Adult Swim's Toonami block in September 2018. Viz Media is releasing the anime on home video.

Kishimoto launched the original Naruto manga in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1999, and ended the series in November 2014. The series has spawned multiple anime, anime films, OVAs, and game adaptations. The Naruto Shippūden anime series ended in March 2017. The manga is inspiring a live-action Hollywood film at Lionsgate.
