Boruto: Two Blue Vortex overtakes Jujutsu Kaisen and One Piece, emerging as the top manga series on Manga Plus Unparalleled readership numbers solidify its position as an unprecedented success
The sequel to Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, has reached a notable milestone. Recent readership data shows that Boruto has surpassed two other popular manga, Jujutsu Kaisen and One Piece, in terms of the number of readers on Manga Plus.
This unexpected achievement has caused a stir in the manga community, as Boruto has risen to the top of the charts while the long-running series have experienced a slight decline in readership. The manga world has always been fiercely competitive, with numerous titles vying for fans' attention and support.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex becomes the most-read manga series on the Manga Plus app and website
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is gaining more fans around the world with its captivating storyline and memorable characters. With Chapter 5 now released, it has become the most read title on Manga Plus, surpassing popular series like Jujutsu Kaisen and One Piece. The excitement for the upcoming adventures of Naruto's son and his friends continues to grow, with an average of 1 million views per chapter. Following closely behind is Chainsaw Man with 425,000 views, and then Jujutsu Kaisen and One Piece with 292,000 and 120,000 views per chapter, respectively.

The accomplishment of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, a relatively recent series, has left many curious. This may be attributed to the monthly release schedule for the manga. In contrast, Jujutsu Kaisen and One Piece release new chapters every week, with Chainsaw Man following a bi-weekly release schedule.
Boruto releases fewer chapters per month compared to other popular manga such as Jujutsu Kaisen, One Piece, and Chainsaw Man. On average, Jujutsu Kaisen and One Piece release four new chapters for every one Boruto chapter, while Chainsaw Man typically releases two. Despite this, Boruto still has a higher average number of reads per chapter compared to these other manga series.
What does data from other online readings and unofficial translations say?

When it comes to manga series readership, it's important to remember that online reader statistics only represent a portion of the total fanbase. Many people choose to use Shueisha's official Jump Plus app as the legal way to access the latest installments.
However, it's also important to recognize that a significant number of individuals rely on unofficial websites that distribute unauthorized translated versions of the manga. Both licensed and unlicensed platforms have their roles in the manga fandom. This makes Boruto's achievement even more impressive, as it has attracted a large following, even compared to established manga series like One Piece.

While readership numbers offer some insight, it's important to acknowledge that they do not solely determine the quality or impact of a manga. Each story has its own unique strengths that appeal to different fan bases. Both Jujutsu Kaisen and One Piece have dedicated followers and have significantly influenced the industry. The growth of Boruto is a testament to its own merits rather than its supremacy over others.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has achieved an impressive milestone by becoming the most-read manga on the Shueisha Manga Plus app, surpassing Jujutsu Kaisen and One Piece. This success is even more notable considering the differences in release schedules and the presence of unofficial translations. It demonstrates the growing popularity of the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex series and suggests its ability to carry on the legacy of the Naruto franchise. As the manga industry continues to evolve, it will be fascinating to see how Boruto: Two Blue Vortex solidifies its position and continues to attract readers in the future.
Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan, I am thrilled to see Boruto: Two Blue Vortex's remarkable achievement in surpassing Jujutsu Kaisen and One Piece in readership numbers on Manga Plus. This unexpected rise to the top showcases the captivating storyline and memorable characters that have resonated with readers worldwide. The monthly release schedule, while less frequent compared to other popular manga, seems to have generated anticipation and excitement, resulting in an impressive average of 1 million views per chapter. Boruto's success is a testament to its ability to engage and entertain a new generation of fans, while also honoring the legacy of the Naruto franchise.
However, I believe it's crucial to recognize that readership numbers alone do not determine the overall quality or impact of a manga series. Jujutsu Kaisen and One Piece have their own dedicated fan bases and have made significant contributions to the manga industry. Each story offers unique strengths and appeals to different audiences. The growth of Boruto should be celebrated for its own merits, rather than seen as a competition or a measure of superiority over other beloved manga series. As a Gen Z fan, I appreciate the diversity and creativity within the manga landscape and look forward to seeing how Boruto: Two Blue Vortex continues to evolve and captivate readers in the future.
