There’s going to be a creative change for future volumes of Boruto. The Naruto spinoff was originally created and supervised by Naruto mangaka Masashi Kishimoto, but had Ukyo Kodachi writing. Now Kishimoto himself will step out of his supervisor job and become the series’ writer.
This was announced on the Naruto Boruto Twitter account. According to Anime News Network, switching writers had been the plan all along. Kishimoto begins his task as writer in the December issue of V Jump, which will be released November 21.
漫画『BORUTO』について
Vジャンプ12月号（11/21発売）掲載の『BORUTO』52話をもって、当初からの予定に則り、制作体制が変更となります。
ここまで脚本を務められた小太刀先生、本当にお疲れさまでした。
今後、岸本斉史先生の原案をもとに連載して参ります。— NARUTO・BORUTO【原作公式】 (@NARUTO_kousiki) November 16, 2020
Kodachi, who has been writing the Boruto manga for four years, tweeted that he’s looking forward to continuing Boruto as a reader:
そのようなわけで、いよいよ『BORUTO』のバトンを岸本先生・池本先生のタッグにお戻しすることになりました！ どうかこれからもボルトたちの旅路を、暖かく応援してあげてください。僕も読者として楽しみにしています！ https://t.co/cOLbqzVT5G
