Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Vol. 11

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Volume 11, continues the expansion of the Naruto universe into a new era of ninja technology and existential threats. First released in Japan in 2020 and subsequently published in English by Viz Media, this volume focuses on the intense confrontation between the protagonists and the Kara organization. The series was created to extend the legacy of Masashi Kishimoto's original Naruto saga, transitioning the focus to his son, Boruto Uzumaki, while exploring how a world brought to peace by the previous generation manages the pressures of technological advancement and hidden ancestral powers.

The narrative and character designs are spearheaded by Ukyo Kodachi, who wrote the series during this period, with illustrations provided by Mikio Ikemoto. Ikemoto, who served as Kishimoto's chief assistant for many years, aimed for a distinct aesthetic that bridges the gap between the grounded ninjutsu of the past and the sci-fi elements introduced in the sequel. The volume was received by fans as a critical pivot point in the series, marked by its darker tone and the deepening mysteries surrounding the Karma seal and the mysterious Isshiki Otsutsuki.
