Along with this awesome announcement of the manga being released, Viz Media also announced that Boruto:Naruto the Movie will be coming to the U.S. at the end of March as well.

The spin off the legendary series created by the Masashi Kishimoto, will focus on the rebellious son of Naruto, who seeks to be the strongest ninja of all. The Boruto story is written by Ukyo Kodachi, and artwork is by Mikio Ikemoto. Preoreders for the print edition of the first volume of the manga published under VIZ Media’s Shonen Jump, are available now.

The summary for Baruto: Naruto Next Generations, Volume 1 is below:

“Years have passed since Naruto and Sasuke teamed up to defeat Kaguya, the progenitor of chakra and the greatest threat the ninja world has ever faced. Times are now peaceful and the new generation of shinobi has not experienced the same hardships as its parents. Perhaps that is why Boruto would rather play video games than train. However, one passion does burn deep in this ninja boy’s heart, and that is the desire to defeat his father!”

Both the manga and film are available for preorder on Viz.com now. The movie will be released on March 28th, and the first volume will be available on April 4th.
