The anime has wildly outpaced the manga, with only 70 manga chapters written to over 250 episodes being produced for the anime. Alongside Boruto himself, it also features the children of numerous other characters from the original series, and allows fans to see how these characters have aged over time.īoruto: Naruto Next Generations is paradoxically rife with filler but also entirely canonical. The series takes place roughly 15 years after the end of Naruto Shippuden. Boruto: Naruto Next Generations lives up to its title by starring Boruto, Naruto’s son.
