Masashi Kishimoto
1,202 books3,973 followersMasashi Kishimoto (岸本斉史 Kishimoto Masashi) is a Japanese manga artist, well known for creating the manga series Naruto. His younger twin brother, Seishi Kishimoto, is also a manga artist and creator of the manga series O-Parts Hunter (666 Satan) and Blazer Drive. Two of his former assistants, Osamu Kajisa (Tattoo Hearts) and Yuuichi Itakura (Hand's), have also gone on to moderate success following their work on Naruto.
Kishimoto's first work as a manga artist was Karakuri (カラクリ?), which he submitted to Shueisha in 1995. This earned him the Weekly Shōnen Jump's monthly "Hop Step Award" in 1996, granted to promising new manga artists. This was followed in 1997 by a pilot version of Naruto (NARUTO－ナルト－), published in Akamaru Jump Summer. In 1998, Kishimoto premiered as a Weekly Shōnen Jump artist with a serialized version of Karakuri in Weekly Shōnen Jump, but it proved unpopular and was canceled soon after. In 1999, a serialized version of Naruto began publication in Weekly Shōnen Jump and quickly became a hit.

I couldn't read it to the end because the story was so confusing, why not just jump into the battle with Kawaki and end this torture?????

Le naufrage continue malheureusement. On sent tellement mais tellement les improvisations dans ce scénario que cela en devient même gênant même si ensuite la lecture n’est pas totalement désagréable.
Je commence sérieusement – il est plus que temps diront certains – à me demander pourquoi je continue cette série où l’auteur ne semble plus du tout inspiré. J’en viens à me demander s’il avait son histoire en tête quand il a commencé Boruto avec ce foreshadowing (prédiction) de fou mettant en scène ses deux nouveaux héros, car chaque étape pour nous y conduire et d’une maladresse narrative crasse.
Dans ce tome, j’ai tout trouvé extrêmement plat, sans vie, à part LA grosse impro de l’histoire. Les méchants sont sans saveur. Les combats sans peps. Les héros du précédent arc, notamment Kawaki, décevant et je ne parle pas des anciens qui font de la mauvaise figuration. L’espoir vient donc de la carte que l’auteur choisit de sortir de son chapeau de manière impromptue : Himawari, la soeur de Boruto, qui serait le nouveau réceptacle d’un Kyubi, qui aurait le pouvoir de se réincarner après la mort. Vous sentez combien c’est tiré par les cheveux et venu de nulle part ?
Pour autant, grâce à cela, nous avons une nouvelle héroïne qu’on a envie de suite, qui certes découvre ses capacités sur le tas et les apprivoise un peu trop facilement, mais on n’est plus à une invraisemblance près avec l’auteur dans cette saga… Si on oublie tout cela, ça reste plaisant de voir un nouveau membre de la famille avec Kyubi, surtout un mini-Kyubi bien conçu pour le merchandising (non, je ne suis pas mauvaise langue, juste honnête) et qui, selon lui, est celle qui est la plus en phase avec lui. On ne peut être que curieux de voir le résultat. De la même façon, quand Boruto revient et propose un nouvel orbe à découvrir, les marketteux, disent merci à Kishimoto car ils savent que ça plaira à la fanbase amatrice de ce genre de passe passe.
Mais que dire de l’histoire ? Elle est plate, sans saveur, sans originalité et surtout sans ligne directive, à cause des improvisations constantes du scénario qui se sentent énormément et ne le font toujours pas décoller T.T Les idées sortent de nulle part, ne sont pas crédibles, désolée Hima, désolée mini-Kyubi. Si on ferme les yeux, on est devant un shonen de baston lambda qui se laisse lire, avec une esthétique sympa, mais où il ne faut pas trop avoir d’ambition…

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Volume 3 is less concerned with what happens than with what refuses to end. Its dominant theme is recurrence: power, trauma, and responsibility returning in altered but recognizable forms. Warning: SPOILERS AHEAD!

Kurama’s presence within Himawari is not framed as revival or miracle, but as an impersonal and cruel force that selects its vessels without regard for readiness or desire. Himawari embodies a new kind of tragedy for the series: innocence burdened simply by being noticed by ancient powers that do not care about childhood. In this sense, she becomes Naruto’s mirror, reflecting not his triumph, but the cost of what he once carried.
Running parallel to this is the theme of identity under occupation. Boruto’s growing power is inseparable from his diminishing agency; Karma resonates, rebels, and exposes his body as a battleground rather than a self, which is a looming idea that will continue to haunt the character in succeeding volumes.
Underlying all of this is a bleak meditation on progress. The Shinju, the thorn soul bulb, even the possibility of restoring Sasuke are solutions not ideal. Preservation comes at the cost of selfhood, and hope is repeatedly rendered temporary and easily stolen. Boruto’s role in this volume is telling: he arrives not as a savior to the ones important to him, but as an intercessor, briefly holding disaster at bay without resolving it. Or at least, not yet. I remain hopeful.
BTBV Vol. 3 leaves the unsettling impression that the future is not being built, only recycled, and that the younger generation is inheriting not a world, but an unfinished tale written in ever more blood. I can't wait for the mangaka's philosophical spiel. I can see it coming as we continue to know more about Momoshiki's species.

2/5 Stars (%45/100)
In general this was okay mainly because of what they decided to do with Himawari. I know that she has been in the background compared to Boruto and others but there were soooo many ways they could have made Himawari relevant. The whole stuff Kurama makes 0 sense and even worse, it makes his sacrifice meaningless. We know that Himawari has always been special and even Daemon noticed something odd about her but come on man...Other than that, there were some good scenes but this really ruined the experience for me. I'm too invested and stubborn to quit so I'll see what happens but I really don't have any hopes for the future of the series (it's been this way for a long time).

es que me emocione demasiado. tipo que himawari tenga a kurama. es increíble. no lo esperaba pero la verdad me pareció espectacular. es como que no sabia que lo necesitaba hasta que me lo dieron.
boruto bld ese man cada vez está más Hot. repito tendría que ser ilegal. me hace acordar a sasuke que tenia esa chulería esa forma de ser. sin siquiera intentarlo. es lindo y no sabe que es lindo. y si lo sabe le chupa un huevo. El tipo mueve un dedo y yo grito. increíble también. amo a boruto. cada panel de el con su cara sería y su ojo tuerto y su forma de moverse. y su inexpresividad. ufff 🥵 obviamente es como si nada le importara pero obviamente todo le importa. aparte de que tuvo que madurar muy rápido después de lo que paso.

I'm geeking out.
I mean, seriously, after some spoilery stuff that I can't talk about that is still a little bit old news at this point, and then learning that Himiwari is front and center in this volume, and WHY... I'm totally geeking out.
It still isn't enough to help her get through this current shitstorm, but I love every single thing about it. I don't care if it's even slightly deus ex machina, it makes SENSE to me because of who K is and all the time he spent with Naruto and fam.
So... YESSSSSSSSS! :)
Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews is be interested in reading my SF (Very hard SF, mind you), I'm open to requests.
Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.

I read this, and the last two books, all in one night. This series was very bingeworthy, and it jumps right into the action. I really couldn't put it down. I love Himawari's development especially. She's so badass, and I'm excited to see how she uses and develops her powers. Sarada's plot was also really interesting, and it was super cool to see her use it against Hidari (Sasuke?? o.O)
It's also been a while since I've read any manga, and jumping right into this without even reading the manga, and only seeing the anime, is kind of scary. But it's so cool to see this series develop in such an interesting direction. It makes me want to read all of the original manga of Naruto and Boruto.
Overall, this is really super good, and I look forward to reading future and past volumes.

L’aspetto che sto apprezzando di questa seconda parte dell’opera è indubbiamente il coinvolgimento di personaggi per lungo tempo rimasti sempre un po’ in disparte.
(Coinvolgimento che mi auguro possa essere sempre maggiore, e pian piano esteso anche a qualcun altro).
Se proprio dovessi trovare una nota stridente, sottolineerei la facilità con cui alcuni personaggi si ritrovano ad avere “poteri” assurdi in un battito di ciglia. Ma questo è un problema (?), un difetto (?), insomma, un elemento che ci trasciniamo sin dai tempi di Naruto…

Carina l’idea di far rinascere l’ennacoda in Himawari e diciamo che lei sarebbe molto piu compatibile con l’ennacoda perchè ha sia il chacra d naruto che quello di hinata con il suo biakugan. Inilziamente mi ha scioccata perchè Kurama non è morto♥️ tuttavia per quanto sensata non è una scelta che non mi ha fatto impazzire su himawari magari perche non è mai stato un personaggio con grosso rilievo nella storia, sempre vista come la ragazzina tranquilla che viveva in una famiglia tranquilla ma forse mi ricrederò🥰
March 18, 2025
Ho apprezzato in generale la storia narrata nei capitoli, non riesco bene a comprendere del tutto il ritorno di Kurama... finalmente Himawari comincia ad avere una sua rilevanza e forse a uscire dall'ombra di Boruto.
Brevissimo scontro tra Boruto e Kawaki; Boruto appare essere più forte di Kawaki ma quando quest'ultimo utilizza il karma, Boruto fugge (sembra non sia in grado di controllare il karma).
Scorrevole e carino.

Sto trovando questa seconda parte di serie sempre uguale: molto statica e senza colpi di scena particolari speriamo che i prossimi migliorino.

Masashi Kishimoto coming back to the series and being like 'actually, that's dumb' and undoing something is so very comic book-coded, I'm amused.
Also, GET HIS ASS HIMA.
