“Flexing MANGA Plus is Always Hilarious” – One Piece Fans Dismiss Boruto Community’s MANGA Plus Efforts with One Swift Move

The One Piece and Boruto fandoms are notoriously vocal, often overshadowing even popular series like Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia when comparing their own manga. This spirited rivalry can sometimes yield intense discussions and disagreements.

Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece has established itself as the highest-selling ongoing manga, boasting over 500 million sales worldwide. In contrast, fans of Ikemoto’s Boruto often use MANGA Plus view counts to argue their series’ popularity, leading to frequent clashes between the two fanbases.

The latest controversy arose when Boruto fans chose to compare their MANGA Plus views with those of other series, prompting many to highlight that these view counts are not reliable indicators of a series’ success.

One Piece and Boruto Fanbase Dispute Over Manga Popularity

The rivalry between the fanbases of Eiichiro Oda’s and Ikemoto’s series is a recurring theme, often fueled by their vocal nature. Fans of One Piece argue success should be measured by worldbuilding, story quality, and various adaptations, while Boruto fans tend to rely on MANGA Plus view counts.

Recent attempts by Boruto fans to compare their MANGA Plus metrics with those from Jujutsu Kaisen and One Piece sparked outrage among the One Piece community.

Reactions to Boruto Fans Using MANGA Plus as a Measure

In response, many One Piece fans highlighted their series’ achievements compared to the accomplishments of the Naruto sequel, asserting that Boruto fans rely on MANGA Plus due to a lack of success in other areas.

Some pointed out the prominent character associated with MANGA Plus, reinforcing their series’ dominance, while others suggested that Boruto fans do not invest in physical manga copies.

“Out of context but who is the face of the app Manga+?”one fan remarked.

“Boruto fans are too broke to purchase offline.”another fan commented.

Critics argued that bragging about MANGA Plus views is the only recourse for Boruto‘s fandom, given its historically low sales figures. Additionally, some fans commented on how the fandom often attempts to link Boruto to its predecessor, despite it being perceived as the lesser series.

“Flexing MangaPlus views. 😭 that’s all they can do because they can’t achieve 100k sales,”one member noted.

“Naruto/Boruto fans are always in denial. Sadly, people stan franchises that are inferior,”another stated.

While MANGA Plus offers legal access to read manga freely, resulting in high traffic, it’s essential to point out that these views do not equate to the overall success of a manga series. The definitive measure of success remains total manga sales, a category in which One Piece consistently outshines its competitors.
