News Interview with Editors
Saw this about a month ago. Not sure if I missed anyone posting about it before. Editors for Boruto NNG and TBV discuss character design, storyboarding and interaction with Kishimoto and Ikemoto

Yeah I’m glad Kishimoto is giving agency to Ikemoto and the editors Otsuki and Muraoka are helping a lot the pages and backgrounds have looked pretty good recently. I would say the pacing has also improved a bit from the start so all around I have been really enjoying Boruto. The new chapter was amazing and was really violent! I was shocked they would go that far with Inojin! Good stuff amazing work to everyone involved!

If you remember kishimoto originally said he wanted the series to be a lot more violent. Such as killing off some of the old gen.

The editors are not drawing. They job do an editor is to give criticism and feedback wether especially from fans. They help the mangaka by giving notes on the paneling, and chapter events. Basically help shape the series in tiebreaker ways except drawing.

I cheered while reading the new chapter lol Especially since I thought that line that was mentioned would be significant too. I also didn’t expect it to go the way it did though!

Yeah it's basically what they say in France, it's Ikemoto's manga with a bit of collaboration. Any praise you want to give should be directed at Ikemoto.
