The manga community was stunned by Boruto’s ascent to the number one spot, especially considering its rocky start and initial lukewarm reception. Naruto’s legacy loomed large over Boruto, setting high expectations that were initially unmet due to the anime’s deviation from the manga’s starting point.
On the other hand, One Piece, an anime powerhouse with a legacy spanning 25 years and over 1080 episodes, has held an iron grip on the top spots in rankings. Eiichiro Oda’s consistent dedication and the enduring appeal of One Piece have positioned it as a perennial favorite in manga lists.
However, the 2023 Year-end manga rankings by Shueisha’s Manga Plus delivered a significant upset. Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, crafted by Masashi Kishimoto and Mikio Ikemoto, defied expectations and claimed the coveted first place. This marked a notable shift in the rankings, dethroning One Piece, which had long been a staple at the top.
The manga’s recent developments, particularly in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, have been pivotal in its surge to the number one position. The narrative depth, especially in Boruto Uzumaki’s evolution as a rogue ninja facing formidable adversaries, has captivated audiences and propelled the manga’s popularity.
The collaboration between Mikio Ikemoto and Masashi Kishimoto has been instrumental in elevating Boruto’s trajectory. Kishimoto’s involvement injected a renewed vigor into the manga, elevating its storytelling and character arcs. This partnership resulted in Boruto’s ascent to the pinnacle of the 2023 manga rankings, surpassing even the mighty One Piece.
The rivalry between Masashi Kishimoto and Eiichiro Oda, akin to Naruto and Sasuke’s dynamic, has been reignited through this unexpected ranking twist. While both mangaka share a friendship, their competitive spirit continues to drive them towards excellence. The healthy competition between these iconic creators has added an exciting dimension to the manga landscape, culminating in Kishimoto’s current triumph over Oda’s One Piece in the 2023 manga rankings.
