The second part of Boruto is back and considered a must-read in the manga community. So, let’s discuss the Boruto Two Blue Vortex release schedule and where to read the manga.
Boruto Two Blue Vortex is 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, Naruto’s creator, and illustrated by Mikio Ikemoto. But unlike the first part, the second part doesn’t have Ukyou Kodachi in the writer’s chair, giving Kishimoto more control over the story.
Boruto Part 2 picks up three years after the events of Part 1. After Kawaki has Eida change everyone’s memories with her Omniscience, Konoha believes Boruto killed Naruto and Hinata, and Kawaki is their real son. Thanks to this, Boruto is led into hiding and is protecting the village from the shadows.

The second part of Boruto began serialization in V Jump #10 after the first part concluded in April 2023.
The storyline of Boruto Two Blue Vortex follows Boruto coming back to Konoha after spending three years hiding. However, the world he left behind and what he comes back to are wildly different. Naruto and Hinata are declared dead to the world while in truth, they are kept unconscious inside the Isshiki Otsutsuki’s pocket dimension.
Boruto has been erased from people’s memories who think of him as the Uzumaki couple’s killer and Kawaki as their true son. Even Himawari has also forgotten who her real brother is. Kawaki did all this in his obsessive need to protect Naruto and his loved ones and his paranoia of Boruto’s mind being taken by Momoshiki.
As Boruto returns to Konoha in Boruto Part 2, the stones finally begin to shift. There are formidable villains looking for Naruto to get to his Bijuu chakra, with Sasuke already taken care of by them. Now our hero must reunite with those he had to leave behind to save the world.
