 The interview unveiled  that the manga and anime series are on purpose being told in two different ways in order to keep the anime from passing up the manga like with its predecessor series. The two are being developed independently, with the anime version of the series having plot points parallel to the manga. There's a plan to have the two intersect at a certain point, but there was no clear answer as to when.

Anime adapting usually follow the plot of the manga with other many long-running series often run into the problem of catching up to where the manga is and potentially overtaking it which leads some productions to create brand new stories not seen in the original manga in order to avoid this. Fans have dubbed these episodes as "filler," and that was a major criticism fans had of the original Naruto series.

The three confirmed that the anime will not skip plot points found in the manga and although which is not stated outrig where imply that the anime series is indeed in the same canon as the manga run. With the manga's monthly release schedule, this is good news for fans of the series but it does not save Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.

Current Mitsuki Disappearance arc has drawn major ire of fans of the series. It's a story not seen in the manga, so fans have debated over whether or not it has been successful. Though now that it's been confirmed that the two versions of the stories are made with parallel stories in mind, fans can hope more of the manga's story elements will show up soon.
