For the first time in the app’s existence, One Piece has been overthrown on the well-liked MANGA Plus network. Instead, Shueisha’s Manga Plus app ended strongly with Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, one of the biggest underdogs in the manga industry this year, surpassing One Piece.
With the release of its most recent chapter, Boruto has surpassed One Piece, which had fallen to fourth place. The manga for Boruto concluded its first installment earlier this year and took a lengthy break, probably to allow the author time to work on the thrilling portion of the story. The fans had to endure a difficult and taxing wait, but in the end, it paid off, as the series shot to the top of the rankings.
However, the response to the Two Blue Vortex saga has not created as much buzz as was expected from the Naruto’s sequel spin-off series. Still, it is a pretty big thing as the series rocketed to the top place leaving behind the likes of Chainsaw Man, Jujutsu Kaisen, and One Piece with ease.
Boruto Becomes The Most Viewed Manga
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is the name of the second part of the Boruto manga. This might be compared to the naming of Naruto Shippuden, the second installment of the Naruto anime. About four years have passed since the titanic battle between Kawaki and Boruto in Blue Vortex.
The franchise has experienced a decline in readership since its 2016 launch, but Kishimoto’s choice to depict a time jump appears to have reignited interest in it. Short-time skips are common in shonen manga, and they occur in practically every story; however, in Boruto, the time skip is rather large.
Even though Two Blue Vortex has only released five chapters so far, it has already included significant plot points for Boruto. Thus increasing the interest of fans in the series and making it the most viewed manga since last week after chapter 5 was published.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Surpasses One Piece
Given that the manga is released every month, meaning there is more steady anticipation with each chapter release, Boruto has succeeded in surpassing other series. Additionally, it demonstrates how One Piece dropped to fourth place—a very unusual position for this series.
Even though both of the current manga series have pretty interesting stories, Boruto has more viewers than One Piece, placing it at the top of the list. Boruto has maintained a consistent viewership despite the initial fan controversy because it strikes a healthy balance between humor and action.
On August 20, 2023, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex was released and the chapters are available for reading on the Shonen Jump app and Manga Plus for fans.
