#Boruto filler series#
Initially, he gave the protagonist big eyes for interactions with Tento, but Boruto’s appearance became more rebellious when he spoke to Kawaki instead.Īlthough the series has a lighter tone than Naruto, it begins with an allusion to a dark future. When drawing the characters, Ikemoto felt that Boruto’s facial expressions should change as the story progressed. It usually takes a week to create the thumbnail sketches and 20 days to produce the pages, with the remaining time spent coloring the images and retouching the chapters. Boruto’s regular chapters are usually more than 40 pages. Ikemoto, who is honored to create the drawings for Boruto, stated that he is grateful that the series will be released monthly rather than weekly, as it would be very tiring to produce the required amount of nearly 20 pages per chapter however, he still feels that monthly serialization is a challenge. Although he noted that longtime fans might be disappointed that Kishimoto is not drawing Boruto, Ikemoto stated that he would do his best to create the manga. Ikemoto agreed and expressed optimism about his art style. Is Boruto Good, Worth Watching, and How Does It Compare to Naruto?Īlthough Kishimoto revised the manga’s scenario, he advised Ikemoto to develop his own drawing style rather than imitate it. To further combine the use of ninjutsu and technology, Kodachi drew inspiration from sci-fi role-playing games. Kodachi explained that the setting of the series, which features more science than Naruto, was influenced by his father, a doctor. Kishimoto also served as the anime’s supervisor for episodes 8 and 9. Kodachi not only writes the manga, but he is also the supervisor of the anime’s story. The author of Boruto, Ukyō Kodachi, had written a light novel called Gaara Hiden in 2015 and assisted Kishimoto in writing the screenplay for the film Boruto: Naruto the Movie. Kishimoto said he wanted Boruto to surpass his own work. In December 2015, the serialization of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations was announced. A countdown website titled “Next Generation” was used to promote the new manga. Kishimoto rejected the idea and instead suggested artist Mikio Ikemoto, who had worked as an assistant for Kishimoto since the first chapters of Naruto, to draw them. When the Naruto manga ended back in 2014, the Shueisha company asked Masashi Kishimoto to write a sequel.
