<P> Despite having a lighter tone than Naruto, the series begins by hinting at a dark future . While Kishimoto is not writing the series, he created multiple characters for the staff to use, thinking Boruto will become more interesting thanks to them . While not specifying whether Naruto or another important character will die, Kishimoto commented he finds this type of situation interesting due to the impact it could probably happen in the scenario and most notably Boruto, clarifying it would give the authors more freedom . </P> <P> Written by Ukyō Kodachi and illustrated by Mikio Ikemoto, Boruto: Naruto Next Generations launched in the twenty - third issue of Shueisha's manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump on May 9, 2016 . Original series creator Masashi Kishimoto is supervising the series illustrated by his former chief assistant and written by his co-writer of the Boruto: Naruto the Movie screenplay . A spin - off manga titled Boruto: Saikyo Dash Generations (BORUTO - ボルト - SAIKYO DASH GENERATIONS) has been written by Kenji Taira and serialized in Saikyō Jump since the May 2017 issue . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> No . </Th> <Th> Title </Th> <Th> Japanese release </Th> <Th> English release </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> Boruto Uzumaki!!
