Are you a fan of Boruto but bummed out that the manga is on hiatus for three months? Fret not, here are five manga recommendations that you can read while waiting for Boruto Chapter 81.
1. Black Clover
Written by Yuki Tabata, Black Clover tells the story of Asta, an orphan boy who doesn’t possess any magical abilities in a world where almost everyone has some kind of magical power. Despite this, Asta dreams of becoming the next Wizard King. Although Black Clover and Naruto share some similarities, both having orphan protagonists with great dreams, Boruto finds himself in a similar situation because he has lost everything, including his identity, and must regain everything back.
2. Tail of the Moon
Tail of the Moon, created by Rinko Ueda, has a ninja theme set in the Tensho period. It follows Usagi, a young ninja whose skills are lacking. She is tasked with marrying Hanzo Hattori, the head of the main branch of the Segachi ninja family. However, Hanzo doesn’t seem interested in marrying her, and Usagi faces fierce competition from other potential brides.
3. Eden Zero
Hiro Mashima’s Eden Zero is a dark space fantasy that has gained many fans recently. The story follows Shiki Granbell, an orphan boy who was raised by robots and considers Demon King Ziggy as his grandfather. Shiki befriends Rebecca and her cat Happy, and together, they embark on an adventure to find more friends and ultimately find Shiki’s mother. The series has grown rapidly, displaying shocking deaths and thrilling time travels. Boruto fans may find Shiki and Grandpa Ziggy’s bitter relationship interesting, similar to the bond between Naruto and his son.
4. Black Torch
Tsuyoshi Takaki’s manga follows teenage ninja Jiro Azuma, who can communicate with animals. Unfortunately, his childhood was plagued by relentless bullying due to his ability. One day, he saves a cat named Ragou who turns out to be an eternal mononoke. After Jirou defends Ragou from other mononoke and dies in the process, Ragou gives him its own energy to revive him. Together, they exterminate mononoke and join the Spy Agency to prevent further mononoke invasions. Boruto readers may find this young ninja’s story interesting and may draw parallels between the sealed Kurama inside Naruto and Momoshiki trapped inside Boruto.
5. D.Gray-man
Katsura Hoshino’s D.Gray-man, set in the 19th-century fiction world, tells the story of Allen Walker, a boy who joins the Black Order, a devil-hunting organization dedicated to stopping Millennium Earl and his demon army, the Akuma, from destroying humanity. The Order employs an ancient substance, Innocence, as their weapon against Akuma. But when Earl gathers the superhuman Noah Family, who have the power to destroy Innocence, the stakes are raised.
In conclusion, these five manga recommendations can temporarily quell your thirst for Boruto while awaiting the release of Chapter 81.
