For a long time, Boruto has faced mixed reception among fans and critics, often being unfavorably compared to Naruto. One of the key metrics used to measure its success has been its inability to outsell its rivals, a feat consistently achieved by Naruto. However, in December 2023, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex became the most-read manga on Shueisha’s MANGA Plus website, surpassing popular titles like One Piece, Chainsaw Man, and Jujutsu Kaisen.

MANGA Plus is an online platform that publishes translated versions of manga from Shueisha’s line of Jump manga anthologies, including Shōnen Jump. The platform also ranks the manga titles based on their popularity. Currently, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex holds the top spot, with a significant lead over One Piece by over 200,000 views. It’s important to note that both One Piece and Jujutsu Kaisen were on hiatus during the week when Boruto surpassed them.
New Storyline and Character Development Propel Boruto: Two Blue Vortex
The success of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex can be attributed to the new storyline and the development of its characters. Boruto, the protagonist, has grown into a more interesting and determined character, surpassing his father Naruto at a similar age. This transformation has captivated fans and brought back the excitement that the series initially promised.

Additionally, the supporting characters, such as Sarada Uchiha, have also played a significant role in the story’s revival. Sarada, a fan-favorite character from the beginning, had been overshadowed by other characters and plots in previous arcs. However, in Two Blue Vortex, Sarada has a much bigger role, allowing her character to shine. This focus on character development has breathed new life into a story that many considered stagnant.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Tops MANGA Plus Rankings
While the popularity of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex on MANGA Plus alone may not be the sole metric of success, it is undeniable that the positive reaction from fans showcases the series’ newfound quality. It will be interesting to see how well the series performs in terms of volume sales in Japan, as this is a crucial measure of success. Regardless, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has proven to be the makeover that the series needed, surpassing industry juggernauts and capturing the attention of fans worldwide.
