Prequel for Sweet Home, but so far, it's not as captivating as its predecessor. I'm not warning up to the main character, and I preferred the other artist's style over this one's. Not that it's bad, but this person likes to use a very limited color palette. The pacing is also much less intense. We'll see if it gets better.

One of the Big Three, it has great side characters but never manages to do anything with them. It's more character-driven than story-driven, but somehow still fails in the character development aspect. The story itself becomes quite boring, because it's obvious Naruto will win in the end. Still, it's an enjoyable read.

Bleach

One of the Big Three, it was good until after the Rescue Rukia arc, in which it just became a generic shounen chosen one fest. Still worth a read. None of the characters become developed past their introduction, which is a miss.

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations

Ironically, this was more of a gripping read than Naruto, but the characters are even worse in this sequel with nearly zero development, aside from the two male protagonists. However, it was pretty interesting and kept me on the edge of my seat to see what would come next. The art is awful though and the main characters from Naruto are severely nerfed to the point of being useless.

Boruto: Two Blue Vortex

Continuation of Boruto, with an obligatory time-skip which makes everything worse. Don't have high hopes for it, but we'll see.

I loved the first 50ish chapters but it gets very slow in the recent ones, and I'm honestly bored by Anya and her stupidity. Hopefully there will be some progress in the plot soon...
