I've read the manga of _Boruto: Naruto Next Generation_ , and the story line
is completely different, except for the first scene.

So did they create a new story line for the anime, or the current episodes are
simply fillers and we will catch up with the manga eventually?

question
naruto boruto
Does the Boruto anime have a different story line from the manga?


The anime version features an original story, starting with Boruto entering
the ninja school (or "Academy").

As for now, there's no hint if the anime will adapt (retell) the manga/movie's
storyline even though recent manga chapters sometimes refer to the anime's
plot.

The manga itself starts as an adaptation from the movie (see [What is the
difference between Boruto: Naruto Next Generation and Boruto: Naruto the
Movie](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/38821/what-is-the-difference-
between-boruto-naruto-next-generation-and-boruto-naruto?rq=1)).

**Manga:** Boruto starts off doing his Chuunin exams (same beginning as Boruto
the Movie).

**Anime:** Boruto starts off studying in the Academy (many years before the
manga).

The anime will definitely adapt the manga storyline.

The so-called anime original characters, the e.g class president has been
shown in the manga, also Boruto mentions the school trip in the manga while
that's an anime arc. Finally, those Otsusuki guys have been shown to be on
their way with Toneri sounding a warning.

Anime is like a prequel that will gradually come into the manga storyline.
