Boruto: Two Blue Vortex has been on a sensational run as of late, especially following the conclusion of the Mamushi arc, which has set more exciting things into motion by giving the spotlight to characters like Hidari Jura, Sarada Uchiha, Boruto Uzumaki, Kashin Koji, and Shikamaru Nara. Each chapter of the story has been sensational, and Boruto: Two Blue VortexChapter 36, which was officially released on July 20, 2026, was one of the most intriguing ones in the entire Part 2.
The excitement among the fans for Boruto: Two Blue Vortex's next releases is incredibly high, but much to the disappointment of everyone, the series is officially headed on a break. As announced officially in V-Jump Issue #9 by the editors of Mikio Ikemoto and Masashi Kishimoto, the Boruto manga is going on a long hiatus, and fans won't see their favorite characters for several weeks. That said, the series has officially confirmed a return date as well, which is a silver lining and relieves a lot of fans ahead of the eventual return of Sasuke Uchiha in the new arc.
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 36 Will Be Followed By A 2-Month Manga Break
After the release of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 36, it was officially confirmed to us that the series was going on a month-long hiatus. Usually, Boruto takes a break of one month between each chapter, given that it is a monthly manga published in the monthly magazine called V-Jump under Shueisha. Following the release of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 36, we now know for a fact that Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 37 will not be coming out in August. Normally, the chapter would have been released in V-Jump Issue #10 on August 20, 2026. Unfortunately, this hiatus means that there is going to be a delay in the publication of the next Boruto chapter. Instead of August 20, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter #37 is now being pushed back to V-Jump Issue #11, which is scheduled to be released on September 17, 2026.

In other words, the new arc of the Boruto series, which is quite easily its most exciting one to date, is not going to continue for two long months. Fans will have to be patient to see the fates of their favorite characters, such as Sarada Uchiha and Boruto Uzumaki. The reason behind Mikio Ikemoto and Masashi Kishimoto taking a break is not known just yet. Given that Boruto is a monthly manga, Mikio Ikemoto gets plenty of time to draw, think, and plan each chapter. It is possible that the author is suffering from some health-related issue or is facing severe exhaustion from drawing manga on a monthly basis.
Even if Boruto is a monthly manga, the stress of writing and illustrating the story consecutively for 10 long years would naturally pile up. To that end, it is possible that Mikio Ikemoto simply wants to relax a bit and take some time for himself. This time would also be utilized by the author to plan the next step in the story, now that a new arc is officially underway. While disappointment and sadness among the fans is only natural, they should also be understanding of the fact that the author has been delivering top-notch content for 10 long years and deserves this break.
New Boruto Arc Officially Set To Resume On September 17, 2026
Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is set to resume in V-Jump Issue #11 on September 17, 2026, and will be released at 11 AM EST. In this chapter, we will finally get to see this new arc of the story moving forward at a blistering pace once again. The setup chapters for this arc, which is tentatively being called the post-Mamushi arc, are already dealt with. Sarada Uchiha was officially kidnapped at the end of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex chapter 36 on July 20, 2026. Boruto Uzumaki has now realized that he cannot go to the hideout of the Shinju to save her. Similarly, Kashin Koji's Prescience ability has officially been upgraded by Amado, and at the same time, Shikamaru Nara is being relieved from his position as Hokage.
"Abetting a traitor is a serious crime. It'd be no different for the accomplices, but for now, as the leader, the Hokage must be held accountable right away. I've already submitted a report to Lord Daimyo, so it is only a matter of time before we receive his approval to relieve Shikamaru Nara as the Hokage." — Kobu confirms Shikamaru's dismissal, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter #36
All these exciting things will finally be tackled upon the return of the Boruto manga on September 17, 2026. Until then, fans will have to patiently hold on because this wait period is not going to be easy to deal with. In the meantime, there is a ton of time for all of us to theorize about the future of the Boruto series, as well as exciting plot points that Ikemoto has cleverly hidden in the newest manga chapter.
Boruto's New Arc Will Focus On Jura, Hidari, Sarada, Boruto And Sasuke Uchiha
Boruto's new arc, which officially began in Chapter 35 on June 18, 2026, is going to throw a lot of focus on Hidari and Sarada Uchiha. Hidari is the Shinju clone of Sasuke, which was officially unveiled to us in Boruto Chapter 4 on November 19, 2026. Since then, Hidari has been a prominent figure and is widely renowned as the second strongest in the Shinju group, only behind Jura himself. Hidari, being Sasuke's clone, automatically set up a confrontation between him and Sarada Uchiha. In Boruto: Two Blue Vortex Chapter 36, Sarada was officially kidnapped by Code and will now be taken to the Shinju hideout. There, a confrontation between her and Hidari is going to be set up, and we absolutely cannot wait to see how this battle unfolds.
Boruto: Sarada, I want you to let them capture you. He'll likely take you straight to their base. But don't worry, I'll fly right to you using those symbols I just gave you.
Sarada: I see, a reverse trap.

Code's role is also going to be important in the new arc, but he is highly unlikely to fall here. At the very same time, Boruto Uzumaki's role in all this cannot be understated. It was Boruto who put Sarada in danger by asking her to let herself be captured. With his plan officially failing, any harm that comes to Sarada will be pinned on Boruto. As such, it is up to him to head to her aid immediately and fight alongside her against the Shinju.
So far in the entirety of the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex series, this is the most intense situation that has arisen. All this will culminate in the return of Sasuke Uchiha, who will officially be freed from his Tree prison after Hidari is defeated and his Thorn Soul Bulb is obtained. Even though the hiatus comes at an inconvenient time for Sasuke Uchiha, we are still eagerly waiting and counting the days until his official return at the end of this arc.
