The Boruto Manga, a.k.a Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, launched with plenty of hype. With Kishimoto present from the beginning, fans expected to see the same old Kishimagic in this Part 2 of the series. Unfortunately, expectations are not being met, with too many fans stating that this pace is “atrociously slow.” Why is that? This article will find what issues are still not making Boruto: Two Blue Vortex stand out.
Boruto Manga Review: Why Are Fans Still Dissatisfied With The Manga?
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex began with loads of potential, offering a story that’s sure to woo the minds of the fans.
Fans expected things to change with Kishimoto participating in the manga series and supervising the creation of this sequel from the start. However, it seems the pacing is getting slow. Till now, Boruto Manga has released three chapters with 139 pages in total, equaling at least seven chapters in a weekly manga, yet the events in these 139 pages have not progressed as they should have.
One may say, “its only been 3 chapters” but between those 3 chapters has been 136 pages. That’s an unreasonable amount of manga real estate to have so little happen.

One of the main reasons that has led the Boruto Manga to receive not a great deal of attention is likely because of the monthly release. Fans think it is time Boruto: Two Blue Vortex becomes a weekly or at least a bi-weekly manga series. Even if it remains a monthly shonen manga, others think that the authors could have compressed the whole drama, which is currently going on, within just 1-1.5 of the chapters. The main complaint about the manga series is the slow pacing, for which the fans are highly disappointed.
Boruto was literally just hyping himself up for an entire chapter before actually doing something to Code. Who in their right mind approves that kind of time wasting in a monthly manga series. Imagine if it were weekly, we would have gotten 3-4 weeks of Boruto and Code just shittalking each other.

The three chapters had Code attacking the Konoha village in search of Boruto, and Boruto jumps down from the sky out of nowhere. Boruto tried to negotiate with Code to tell him the location of the Ten-tails while the Konoha village Shinobis were busy fighting the army of Claw Grims. Fans have claimed this whole event could have been kept short instead of repetitive or expositional dialogues in the panels. Fans have said that Masashi Kishimoto has a habit of writing long pages of expositional conversations and that during the Naruto era, his first editor removed approximately 90% of the dialogues.
Kishimoto has an habit of long pages of expositional dialogue so it’s very possible that he chooses a chapter just to explain everything. This is also known as bad writing too, but hey, at least we get some answers.

Read the complete Reddit Thread:
Boruto Two Blue Vortex Chapter 3 reached a new record of a million readings across all languages on the Manga Plus app in three days, surpassing One Piece Chapter 1095, which had just 830,000 reads, indicating that fans are looking forward to the story developments and the characters. Given its slow pace and repeated sequences, it is unlikely that the Boruto manga will be able to maintain that place for long. However, we are sure Kishimoto and Ikemoto are trying to devise something out of the series and direct it in such a way that feels new to the fans, which was claimed before the launch of the series.
