Even Without Naruto, Boruto Is Surprisingly Breaking Records

by

This article contains spoilers from the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga.

The *Boruto* manga has become quite controversial, with fans debating the direction of its story. One major point of contention is the sidelining of Naruto Uzumaki – he was sealed in another dimension, which upset many longtime fans of the character. While his return is expected, there’s a lot of discussion about what will happen to him next.

Many fans expected sales of the *Boruto* manga to drop significantly after Naruto Uzumaki’s character was removed from the story. Surprisingly, *Boruto* is actually breaking sales records! This shows that readers are connecting with Boruto Uzumaki’s journey and are captivated by new villains like Jura and the God Trees. The series is exceeding expectations, and it seems more and more people are starting to enjoy it.

Boruto Hits 10 Million Copies in Circulation in Japan

Boruto Jumps 36 Places in Rankings

  • Boruto hits 10 million copies in circulation with 26 volumes in Japan.
  • Boruto jumps from 99th to 63rd place in the rankings.

As a huge Naruto fan, I think a lot of us were really worried when Naruto ended up sealed away! He’s *the* main character, the one everyone loves, and his story is what keeps us all hooked. So, when Kawaki sealed him in the Daikokuten dimension, and then we lost Kurama on top of that, a lot of fans started wondering if *Boruto* could still succeed without him. It felt like a really big risk for the series, honestly!

Despite initial skepticism, the *Boruto* manga is exceeding expectations. Even with Naruto taking a less central role, the series has achieved a new milestone, reaching 10 million copies in circulation in Japan across its 26 volumes. This success has boosted its ranking in the Jump circulation charts, climbing from 99th to 63rd place—surpassing popular series like *Sakamoto Days* and *Mashle*. The series continues to attract readers and grow its popularity even without significant involvement from the Seventh Hokage.

Fans anticipate Boruto will climb the rankings as the story progresses in *Two Blue Vortex*, with a major focus on one of the God Trees. Following the battle between Jura and Boruto/Kawaki, Mamushi is now poised to act, targeting Eida in Konoha.

Boruto Could Rank Higher With Part 2 of the Anime

Boruto Is Showing Strong Momentum

It’s common for manga sales to rise when something exciting happens, like a big story event, a popular new storyline, or when an anime adaptation introduces the series to new audiences and reminds existing fans how much they enjoy it. This could happen with Boruto, particularly when the second part of the anime starts airing. Seeing key moments from the manga animated might encourage more people to read the original series.

It’s almost certain that *Boruto* will sell over 10 million copies, especially with the new anime adaptation generating excitement. Currently ranked 63rd, the manga could climb even higher – potentially into the top 50 – as the anime boosts sales and attracts more readers. Despite any feelings *Naruto* fans may have, *Boruto* is likely to break new records unless something unexpected happens.

This isn’t the story of someone striving to be Hokage. That was my father’s dream. This is my own story—the story of Boruto Uzumaki!

As a huge *Boruto* fan, I’m totally seeing everyone rally behind the manga! We all believe it’s going to silence the critics and prove how awesome Boruto and his generation are, even with Naruto and Sasuke stepping back. Honestly, if Naruto and Sasuke *do* come back – and I’m hoping they do – with some seriously powerful moves, it would just send the hype for *Boruto* through the roof! It’s an exciting time to be a fan.

The Boruto Manga Is Still Far From Over

Boruto Has a Total of 26 Volumes at the Moment

Currently spanning 26 volumes, the *Boruto* series follows Boruto Uzumaki’s journey as he develops from a headstrong, novice ninja into a powerful and skilled warrior with the Otsutsuki lineage. He battles formidable enemies to defend Konoha and the world, but his story continues as he strives to rebuild the Uzumaki family name.

Boruto has already fought through incredibly difficult challenges, but even bigger threats are coming, including Jura, the God Trees, and the powerful Momoshiki Otsutsuki. He’s also determined to save his adopted brother, Kawaki, from falling into darkness, all while protecting his sister Sarada and the rest of Konoha with Naruto and Sasuke away. The Boruto manga promises even more action-packed fights and surprising turns of events.
