So, how popular is boruto in general? I feel like it has done significantly worse than naruto but I could be completely wrong.

"Significantly worse" is way overstatement to describe Boruto sales in general, but it still a major Shueisha seller even after transfering to way inferior Jump V to close down.

I hope the hiatus isn't too long. The story has actually gotten really good.

Thank god. 3 months free of this horrible series. I hope that by some miracle it never comes back.

Naruto is the 6th best-selling manga of all time, so you can do significantly worse than it and still be a big success. That's basically Boruto's situation. |

My deepest sympathies. I don't know your situation but it must be awful being forced to read Boruto every month. I imagine you are in a Clock Work Orange situation? Strapped to a chair, eyes pried open, as Boruto the manga slowly flickers past... 
You just have no choice. No other option. No agency. You are a prisoner and definitely cannot just decide to... just...NOT read it regardless of its hiatus status. Poor thing. |

Wow. I don't recall Naruto ever going on extended hiatuses so this is a first.

I'm sure it took breaks but Boruto is a monthly series to begin with so it's breaks feel longer.

Fortunately I do not have to read or watch this garbage. and I do not. sadly though am I exposed to bits of information and manga panels every now and then because I'm in some manga/anime forums/communities that talk about it every now and then, so I can't fully avoid this joke of a series.
I'm simply here to hate on this garbage

Well, I hope the hiatus is to the benefit of the creators and the story.

I remember Masashi Kishimoto saying he wouldn't want the entirety of the series not to exceed 100 volumes. I can't help but wonder whether he's changed his mind about it or not.
Regardless, I think Boruto is going to reach its endgame. The anime ended strongly and though they said it'll be back, I don't think they'll do another 200+ episodes. I haven't read the manga but I think I will read from the point the anime stopped. @Mushrinku Then that's a problem you're still able to avoid, but choose not to just to 'hate' on Boruto. It's a bit silly. |

kishimoto tried to do his own new original but it failed hard and got axed, so he came back to the only thing that was going on for him, his naruto franchise, that he completely ruined by doing this boruto crap.
dude sold out any self respect and integrity he had for more $$$$ |

Wasn't it being written by someone else originally?

Its manga sales have been on a steady decline with each new volume, and Kishimoto joining as writer did nothing to change that (like they presumably hoped it would). The extended hiatuses for both the manga and anime say it all about how they're trying to figure out ways to right the sinking ship; expect a pivot to pure nostalgia with a Naruto Kai within the next couple years. |

Ukyō Kodachi was the original author and let me tell you his style of writing and story was quite a bit more inventive and innovative and added some really unique elements to the Naruto verse that was not previously there. Given the fact that he previously worked on stuff that is heavy in polictics and mecha like Code geass, that does not suprise me but after Kishimoto took the mantle again. He basically just kind of wrote the most nonsensical generic shonen typical crap again like resorting to hype killing and making his villians spout utter nonsence "OH no you can never beat me because and then they end up defeated of course" also kishi trying his hardest to tie things into Ukyō Kodachi's prologue but failing misserbly. I guess you can say kishimoto is more intuned with the typical caveats of shonen and generic tropes, he tries to appease the power scalers and shonen fanboys that want fan-service where as Ukyō Kodachi' is a bit more clever in the idea's that he executes in the story. I would deffinitly take Ukyō Kodachi' over kishimoto anyday just to see how the Boruto would change but of course your shonen core audience might not like it as much and ultimatly they win in the end. |
