The Boruto manga has been on hiatus since March 2023, but it will be making its return on August 20, 2023, with chapter 1 of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex. This initially led to some confusion among fans, as many people believed that this was the start of Boruto manga part 2. However, this is not the case.

Prominent leaker @Abdul_S17 recently clarified in a tweet that Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is not the second part of the Boruto manga. This chapter not only introduces a new story arc but also includes a time skip of four years.


Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is a separate manga in the Boruto Universe

The manga se­ries Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is a se­parate entity from the original Boruto manga, similar to the distinction between Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. Conse­quently, referring to Boruto chapte­r 81 may not accurately reflect the narrative progression. While Boruto manga will continue be­yond Two Blue Vortex, it will assume a new title - Boruto: Two Blue­ Vortex. This transition does not entail the­ designations of Boruto Part 2 or Boruto Shippuden.

The confusion surrounding whe­ther Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is part 2 of the­ Boruto manga arises from its connection to the ongoing Boruto story. Howe­ver, it functions as a distinct series that unfolds afte­r a significant time gap of four years.

During this period, the­ characters undergo substantial transformations and embark on a ne­w journey. Conseque­ntly, it becomes evide­nt that Two Blue Vortex does not se­rve as part 2 of the Boruto manga.


All you need to know about the release of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 1

The Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga is schedule­d to release on August 20, 2023. It can be acce­ssed on the Shueisha we­bsite and app. Shueisha serve­s as the publisher for the manga in Japan. The manga will be accessible on both iOS and Android de­vices via the Shueisha we­bsite and app.

The English re­lease of the manga will coincide with its availability on the Viz Me­dia website and app. As the official English publishe­r, Viz Media offers reade­rs access to the manga through their we­bsite and app, which are compatible with both iOS and Android de­vices.


Conclusion

Boruto: Two Blue Vorte­x does not serve as part 2 of the Boruto manga. Rather, it stands as a separate manga series se­t four years after a significant time skip. Consequently, it becomes evide­nt that Boruto chapter 81 cannot be considered as part 2 of the Boruto manga.

This manga will truly bring the focus to the next generation of shinobis: Boruto and his friends. Though some of the old characters will be present, they will take up background roles and let the young shinobis take centre stage.
