Boruto is bested by the new gen manga

A decade ago, fans were saddened when one of the greatest shonen series of all time, Narutocame to a conclusion. But, when the sequel was announced, the community got hope again. Boruto Kishimoto got off to a good start with a film written by himself. But over the years, it has become rather clear that Boruto has not lived up to expectations, and if anything, has tarnished the legacy of some of the characters from the original series. Although Boruto is fun in its own way and certainly exciting, it fails miserably Naruto The sequel, and its sales just keep going down without Naruto and Sasuke playing a role.

at the same time, Jujutsu Kaisen It just got its own sequel, it's said Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo. While it's hard to fully judge how the series will do in the long run, fans have been loving it so far. Modulo has been able to introduce its own fresh and charming cast, along with great word-building to elevate it without relying on old characters.

Boruto didn't live up to Naruto's standards

Boruto is the official sequel to Naruto series. After Naruto ended in 2014, Boruto began serialization two years later in 2016. However, the main difference between the two series is that Boruto is not actually written by Kishimoto, the original creator. Instead, it is written by his former editor, Mikio Ikemoto. That said, Kishimoto supervises everything that happens in the story. While fans were certainly excited to see what the next generation of the world of Naruto had in store, the series has, for the most part, been a disappointment to many fans of the original series.

The Boruto manga relied on the popularity of older characters, mostly Naruto and Sasuke. Aside from characters like Kawaki and Boruto, there weren't enough new actors to capture the fans' attention. Worst of all, the legacy of the old characters was ruined in Boruto because the series kept using them as stepping stones for new characters. Naruto and Kurama's bond was shattered and Sasuke's Rinnegan was taken from him. Sakura never had a significant role in the sequel, while the other Kage also played roles once.

Speaking of sequels, a new one for the next big Shonen Jump series started not too long ago, and it's actually been a huge success. When Jujutsu Kaisen ended, fans were certain that the franchise didn't have much of a future, but out of nowhere, Gege Akutami revealed a sequel series called Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo. With only a few chapters, Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo has captivated fans, and some may even say that its writing is better than the original, as Gage has grown a lot in the field of manga writing.

While some old characters are mentioned, and some may return like Yuji, the heavy lifting of the majority of the cast is done by the new trio of Yuka, Tsurugi and Maru. They are lovable enough to carry the plot on their own, and the new lore introduced in the story is quite top-notch. Jujutsu Kaisen is a perfect sequel to Modulo Gege's dark and brutal first series.And it lives up to all the expectations the original series set.

Another interesting detail is both Boruto and Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo feature aliens, but Modulo has actually been shown to be able to introduce these extraterrestrials quite well. Their race, culture, habitat, lifestyle, and reasons for what they do are all put under the microscope in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, and the best part is that it still feels like part of the main story, which Boruto Otsutsuki couldn't achieve.

Boruto sales continue to decline, and fans worry about the future of the series

Boruto Still a popular series, however Low sales are becoming all the more apparent. With every new volume, sales decline. The series peaked with major battles featuring Sasuke and Naruto, and since then, it has crashed significantly.

Boruto Uzumaki and the rest of the new generation characters are very good Two blue vortexesBut they don't have enough fans invested. The series will only pick up speed when the two giants, Naruto and Sasuke, finally return.

As far as JJK Modulo As it turns out, it's hard to say how it will fare in sales since it has yet to drop a volume, but other than that, the writing for the series is flawless and every fan JJK So far so loving it.
