This volume was fairly entertaining. The villains are laughably bad but the rest is decent. I see more of naruto and sasuke right now than the new generation but I'm sure it's just for the introduction. Fans wouldn't have been too happy at the time to receive a whole new character without warming up to them alongside ones they are already used to.

probably the best volume of Boruto. We get hit with some old time nostalgia (chunin exams and the Naruto retrieval). Funny as always. Even tho they did Gaara dirty I still enjoyed the part where he was shown. Of course there were some potholes (like why didn't Sasuke take Sakura instead of Boruto? It makes more sense powerwise), and the things that are going to bug me the whole series (Boruto's character and the scientific ninja tools) but it't still a good volume.

4/5 Stars (%78/100)

I keep seeing comparisons between Boruto and Naruto (anime) about how Boruto is so peaceful and very slow-paced. In truth, Boruto's manga is super fast-paced. I mean in this volume planet-destroying aliens show up. I also get that this is supposed to be a continuation of Naruto. During the Chunin Exams, mysterious beings called Momoshiki and Kinshiki appear and threaten the village and the entire world. I really liked this volume in general.

The Chunin exam started and Naruto finds out that Boruto has been using the ninja tool, as this happens, Kaguya's clan attack the village and they kidnap Naruto.

Sasuke, Boruto and the Gokage will go rescue him.

We finally get to see Kurama in action once again.
