Chunin Exams and Momoshiki
The manga-adapted route begins building the Chunin Exams and Momoshiki conflict here.
Boruto Manga Canon Episodes
Direct Boruto manga episodes, other source adaptations, and the labels that guide sites often mix together
The official TV run ends at episode 293, but the broadcaster does not assign canon or filler labels. This page therefore separates direct Boruto manga material from other published adaptations and treats the classification as editorial guidance.

Fast answer
Use the direct manga ranges below for the tightest Boruto manga route. Add the published side-story ranges when you also want Naruto Gaiden, novel, and spinoff adaptations. For a first watch, the broader canon-heavy guide is usually smoother because the anime builds important relationships outside these strict ranges.
Direct Boruto manga episode ranges
These ranges stay closest to the main Boruto manga storyline.
Episodes 53-59
Momoshiki battle and aftermath
Completes the main manga-adapted version of the movie-era conflict.
Mujina Bandits
A short direct route back into the manga storyline before the Kara material expands.
Ao arc opening
Moves the anime into the Vessel and Kara conflict that drives the core second half.
Kawaki's past
Episode 192 adapts Kawaki material from the manga. Some third-party lists accidentally print this episode number as 182.
Kawaki and the Vessel
The central Kawaki material and one of the most important uninterrupted manga-adapted blocks.
Isshiki conflict and aftermath
Continues the main Otsutsuki conflict and its immediate consequences.
Code's Assault
The final TV block returns to the main manga storyline and ends Part 1 at episode 293.
Other published-source adaptations
These episodes adapt official printed side material, but they are not chapters from the central Boruto manga run.
Sarada Uchiha material
Adapted from Naruto Gaiden material rather than the main Boruto manga run.
Mitsuki origin
A source-adapted standalone episode that is useful context, but not part of a long manga arc.
Steam Ninja Scrolls
Adapted from published side-story material rather than the central Boruto manga plot.
Sasuke's Story
Adapted from Sasuke Retsuden source material, not from the main Boruto manga chapters.
How this list was classified
TV Tokyo confirms the 293-episode broadcast endpoint but does not publish canon labels. The adaptation ranges are an editorial classification cross-checked against source-material references, so another guide may group a transition episode differently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Boruto episodes are manga canon?
The strict direct-Boruto-manga route on this page contains 59 episodes across the Momoshiki, Mujina, Ao, Kawaki, Isshiki, and Code-era ranges. The complete list is shown below rather than hidden behind a single canon percentage.
Why do Boruto canon lists disagree?
The official broadcaster lists episodes but does not publish canon, anime-canon, or filler labels. Guide sites therefore make editorial classifications, and some combine direct Boruto manga chapters with Naruto Gaiden, novels, and other published side stories.
Are anime-canon episodes the same as manga canon?
No. Anime-canon usually means anime-original material that belongs to the anime continuity. Manga canon means the episode adapts published source material. A useful first-watch route may include both, but they are not the same label.
Should a first-time viewer watch only the manga canon episodes?
Usually not. The strict list is useful for a fast rewatch or manga-first catch-up, but a first watch feels smoother when you keep selected anime-original setup around the Kara and Kawaki material.
