Another month goes by, another Boruto chapter. This one isn't necessarily as stupid as the others. But it does have some noticeably terrible art.
The awfulness starts right on the first page with Eida spying on Boruto and Mitsuki's fight. Boruto says he's Mitsuki's sun. Eida's reaction is I shit you not:
"Stop it. That's like too cool....Oh my gosh".
I don't know if this is a quirk of the translation but several of Eida's lines come out like this and I don't remember her ever being like this.
Next, Kawaki flies away with Delta to go after Boruto and wait a minute...When the fuck can Kawaki can fly? He couldn't fly before. I don't think Jigen could fly. He kind of hovered but never did straight up Dragonball style flying. Did Ohnoki teach him? I thought flying was a special technique. Boruto can't fly. He sort of hovers in his fight with Mitsuki but at least we've long since sailed ship on anything Boruto does making sense. Plus Delta is an android and could always fly. But where the fuck did he learn that?
Anyway...Boruto is filling Shikamaru in on the plot but Kawaki tells Shikamaru telepathically (WITHOUT A SENSORY NINJA MIND YOU) that he's going after Boruto. Geez..Shikamaru is literally playing telephone with his mind. Boruto teleports away and Kawaki wonders why he suddenly vanished after he talked to Shikamaru. A funny thing here is Shikamaru tries to tell him to wait for backup because he's not strong enough to take on Boruto. Kek.
Back at Eida's house, Mitsuki arrives and says "Apologies, I didn't realize you were here...I hope I'm not intruding". Nigga it's THEIR house. Anyway, Mitsuki and Eida have actual character development for a few pages. He explains how being an artificial human, he didn't think he'd ever experience an emotion like love, but he does thanks to Eida's powers. He doesn't feel like a human so he thought he could just cling to his sun or person with the brightest personality and didn't need anything else. However, Kawaki is kind of a dick and he's been questioning his devotion to him for a long time and has just been in denial. He thinks Eida is the same way. To which Eida says "We're talking about love right now...talk about dramatic"....yeah I don't know whats going on with the translation either. Kind of a downer on an otherwise decent moment if this is the official translation. Eida says she wants to talk to Boruto.
Divine Trees invade Konoha, the Sasuke one and the one Jigen looking one. They're looking for Naruto and skewer a bunch of random s before getting attacked by Kawaki. For the 6th time out of 8 chapters, meaning every single one he's been in, Kawaki gets bitch slapped and looks absolutely fucking pathetic. We get a panel of everyone rushing to the Divine Tree's location. We also get what's probably my favorite bad artwork in the entire series, a full panel of Sumire and Sarada doing the Naruto-Run in their giant pump heels. I legit burst out laughing at this. The Naruto run is already ridiculous enough but watching these girls do it in hooker heels is next level of retarded. Either way, the new Team 10 shows up with Himawari and the Divine Trees arrive in front of her, confused. They were tracking Naruto through tailed beast chakra and somehow it lead them to...Himawari. Which sort of makes sense? Idk we'll see where it goes to end the chapter.
There was some noticeably bad art this time around. Here's a few instances I noticed:

There was some noticeably bad art this time around. Here's a few instances I noticed:
- Kawaki has a fucking BELT on his collar for no reason
- There's a panel of showing Eida from behind and for whatever reason I can't fathom, her ass is showing through her shorts.
- There's surprising emphasis on Boruto's fade for some reason. I don't like it. It makes him look like a zoomer.
- When the Divine Trees show up, the Jigen-looking one has a back stabilizing toe, but only on one foot. I thought this was on model until a spread shot a couple pages later, it just wasn't there for the past 3-4 pages.
- Sarada looks like a 40 year old man in one panel because her face looks flat.
- The running shot in pump heels.
- While Shikadai is running, I noticed his boots also have high heels. Why? Was it just a habit of drawing high heels?
- Delta flies with no jet flames coming out of her feet?
