Some fans also mentioned that Minami and Boruto look alike, not just because of their ensembles but also because of the overall design. For instance, the Hokkaido girl has blue eyes like the Uzumaki son and flaunts blonde hair. Additionally, she has a necklace and a skin complexion similar to the Ninja's.

This has also led some fans to comment on how Minami's design in Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable! was a total "copy" of Boruto but changed slightly to look different. Others made fun of Uzumaki's son, mentioning how he is "acting" in other anime while waiting for his own anime to end its hiatus.

A few fans felt that the anime stole Boruto's S*xy Jujutsu form to design Minami Fuyuki's character design. Others joined the party and explained that if one added whiskers and lightened up her eyes, they would get the Uzumaki son in Minami.

However, not everyone was convinced about the similar designs. While the two characters shared the same outfit and saw a few facial similarities, some fans felt they didn't look alike.
