Boruto leak reveals new manga name

With the release of V Jump magazine in Japan, popular leaker on Twitter @Abdul_S17 leaked out the new manga announcement. As per the announcement, the upcoming manga is set to be named Boruto -Two Blue Vortex-.

The "'Two Blue Vortex" can be assumed to be similar to that of the "Shippuden" in Naruto Shippuden. Considering that Shippuden's direct translation means "strong wind legends," "Two Blue Vortex" could be named as such to refer to both Boruto and Kawaki.

The announcement also gave fans the first look at Sarada Uchiha's new character design. As evidently, she is set to have short hair, Uchiha clan earrings, and a choker.

In addition, she is also set to have a new attire. Previously, she used to wear a sleeveless buttoned red dress bound by a yellow tie and a white belt. However, in the new design, she can be seen wearing a black tube top, with a red lining on it.

On top of that, she can be seen wearing a cloak, the colors of which resemble that of an Akatsuki cloak. Thus, there is a possibility that Sarada might have been inspired by her father's old pictures and designed her new attire to look similar to his time with Team Taka

As per the announcement, the manga is set to resume serialization in August 2023, in the next issue of V Jump.
