Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Release Time and Reading Guide

The second part of Boruto is back and has become a must-read in the manga community. This article will cover the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex release schedule and where to read the manga.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex serves as a direct sequel to 2016’s Boruto: Naruto the Next Generations. Like the original series, the manga’s Part 2 is overseen by Masashi Kishimoto, the creator of Naruto, and illustrated by Mikio Ikemoto. Unlike the first part, the second part is solely under Kishimoto’s direction without Ukyou Kodachi, allowing him greater control over the narrative.

Boruto Part 2 begins three years after the events of Part 1. Following Kawaki’s manipulation of everyone’s memories with Eida’s Omniscience, Konoha is led to believe that Boruto has killed Naruto and Hinata, while Kawaki is thought to be their true son. This forces Boruto into hiding as he works to protect the village from the shadows.

In contrast to the controversial first part, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is receiving praise from readers for its compelling storyline, substantial contributions to world-building, and character development. Let’s look into the manga’s release dates, where to read it, and the number of chapters available.

Where to Read Boruto: Two Blue Vortex

The second part of Boruto started serialization in V Jump #10 after the first part concluded in April 2023.

The story of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex follows Boruto’s return to Konoha after three years of hiding. However, the world he re-encounters is drastically different. Naruto and Hinata are declared dead, but in reality, they are kept unconscious in Isshiki Otsutsuki’s pocket dimension.

People’s memories of Boruto have been erased; he is viewed as the killer of the Uzumaki couple while Kawaki is seen as their true son, even by Himawari. Kawaki’s actions stem from his obsessive need to protect Naruto and his loved ones while fearing that Boruto could be influenced by Momoshiki.

As Boruto re-enters Konoha, significant changes begin to unfold. Formidable villains seek Naruto’s Bijuu chakra, and Sasuke has already been dealt with by them. Now, Boruto must reconnect with those he left behind to avert disaster.

Since the manga has only recently begun, it is still in its first story arc, titled Boruto’s Return Arc.
