One Piece manga overtakes Boruto Two Blue Vortex for the first time in 2024

Both the One Piece manga and Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga are highly popular series that are constantly competing for attention. For some time, Boruto held the top spot on MangaPlus, starting in January 2024. However, in a surprising turn of events, the One Piece manga recently surpassed Boruto in readership, even with a three-week hiatus. This was a significant moment for the community.

Despite receiving considerable attention, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, a sequel to Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, has not been able to match the popularity of its predecessor. On the other hand, Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece has achieved phenomenal success and gained a massive fan following over time.

The most recent readership statistics on MangaPlus further establish One Piece’s supremacy, casting doubt on Boruto’s potential to attain similar levels of success.
