And here's the official release:

Also Viz seems to be counting this as a separate series so update your bookmarks

Yeah, still not a fan of Sarada’s new design but otherwise this is a pretty good way to start the timeskip (curious how the anime handles it since it stopped prior to the whole Boruto/Kawaki switcheroo).

I also wonder how much longer the series is going to last at this point and how the village gets wrecked as we see in the prologue.

Speaking of, there’s still no word on when the anime’s coming back is there? I know we’ve got a few Naruto specials coming soon at least

Agreed, I like her new look as well (hopefully she’ll be more important this time around as it seems the spell couldn’t fully change her memories)

He's trying his best with only one eye in a world which refuses to ever let him win!

For the overall chapter...

I like how Shikamaru looks in the Hokage cloak. And it's nice to see Konohamaru with a promotion since he'd be otherwise pretty idle. I wonder if Sarada got demoted back to genin (I think being openly pro-Boruto for three years could do it) or if this is just the manga differing from the anime.

Time skip Himawari seems well adjusted all thing considered. It's interesting that she wants to help Boruto...and not because of some sibling connection. It seems that Kawaki made a deeper impression on her than probably anyone realized.

Honestly, the chapter covered a lot of ground but I'm still annoyed we didn't see 1. how Sakura is doing and 2. if Amado's daughter was revived.

What bothers me way more than Sarada's outfit is that the artist always draws her pigeon-toed

Not sure how I feel about this timeskip. The pacing is very weird.

With Naruto's timeskip the Sasuke rescue plot continued but it also soft rebooted in a way with the new Team 7, the Akatsuki, and the Hidden Sand mission. This is basically a direct continuation of the plot that could've happened the next day and not 3 years later. In this case the timeskip feels like more a rebrand to generate interest again. We don't really understand the extent of Boruto leaving for 3 years before he already comes back.

Why do Shikadai/Chocho/Inojin have baby faces still while Boruto/Sarada/Mitsuki look old

I was just coming to comment on some of the art. The last page of boruto and sarada next to each other looks off. Like young boruto head on a really tall body, it looks like the torso has an extra inch in it or so.

I did love the panel with boruto's appearance though, really dynamic entry.

Yeah, the character modeling is one of the weakest aspects of this manga. Thankfully the anime has always done a solid job of taking a lot of the character models and costumes and making them look good and less ick.

I check this manga quarterly and don't really know the plot but Boruto's first appearance here is one of the best reintroductions I've ever seen.

Using science to explore the physics of sand, like being able to harden it with milk, or sodium silicate and carbon dioxide, or turn it into a liquid by pumping air into it, and stopping the flow cases it to thicken (Although thankfully they haven't quite figured out how to increase the pressure to recreate the Sand Coffin)

The second one (which is neater IMO) actually makes a lot of sense. It's just doing something to make the sand more permeable, and then turning that effect off once someone's in it. I feel like I'd get insane claustrophobia from having most of my body immersed in the sand and unable to move.

Probably something you could make actual dangerous traps with IRL; just have a pool of sand with the air pumped into it, drop people into the sand, and turn off the air pumping. Or having a bed of sand, people walk on it, and then turn on the air, causing them to sink, and then turn it back on.

Huh, Boruto is cool now (though on the other hand his personality seems to have become a bit more Sasuke-esque but that’s understandable). Still not a fan of Sarada’s design but post timeskip Cho Cho looks pretty good at least

Cool developments for Boruto, though Sarada's lovely design stands out even more when more characters show up. Is it so difficult to just give her a reasonably cool ninja/warrior looking outfit? Why's it gotta look like a reject PS2 era Final Fantasy design of impracticality.

Yeah, really not sure what happened there as Cho Cho and Himawari look great (in fact of the ones that visibly changed Sarada’s pretty much the only post timeskip design I have an issue with)
