Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is currently in the midst of a hiatus for both its anime and manga releases, but thankfully the Naruto manga is still finding ways to take fans by surprise such as with the first look at the cover art for the next major Boruto manga release! Boruto: Naruto Next Generations has finally taken the first major steps towards the time skip that fans were teased with back at the very beginning of the series overall, but that also unfortunately means it’s going to be a while before fans get to actually see this time skip in action.ย

When Is Boruto Coming Back?ย 

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations ended its anime run earlier this year, and has announced that the anime will return with Part 2 in the future. A release window or date has yet to be announced for Boruto Part 2 of the anime as of this writing, however. As for the manga, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is gearing up for the highly anticipated post-time skip phase that the final chapters have been setting up. While the exact date for the Boruto manga return has yet to be announced, it has been confirmed to return some time this September.ย 

It’s been a wild turn of events for Boruto Uzumaki himself as due to Eida’s power, he’s now being hunted by the Hidden Leaf Village as the number one criminal who killed the Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki. All the while, Kawaki has taken the spot of Boruto as Naruto’s son in the village’s eyes. Not only that, Code’s still preparing his grand army and now there are many things to keep track of when the Boruto anime and manga finally return.ย
