ooh it is similar !!

Two Blue Vortex time skip when it eventually gets animated, expect the theme to be about LOVE

Hinata and Sumire Similarities and Differences.

Naruhina Similarities and Differences.

Borusumi Similarities and Differences.

My favourite thing about Borusumi has to be that I like seeing Sumire get down to business whenever there's anything she realises she can help Boruto with, she will not hesitate or pause. She also doesn't wait for Boruto to acknowledge it, she directly puts the ball in his court. If he wants to do something about the information its all left to him.

That freedom to choose what to do with her information is why I think he really considers Sumire's aid and words. Or at least is not hostile to her help, the way he is to Koji's "help"

Above, she checking on him, while he's a little on the edge, even if he knows she's on his side, its their meeting after a long time. Really appreciate Sumire for her calm demeanor here. She never lost her cool around Boruto, her crush, in the manga.

He reaches out to her to fix his sword, and after fixing and improving the sword, he listens to her explain the clauses and the limitations on the sword she fixed. In spite of having a crush on the guy, she's all business here. I love the professionalism! Its shown really well here that having romantic inclinations is alright but as a character you serve to further the plot.

I am sure that over their interactions in TBV, Boruto's trust and confidence in her grew after the way she explained Hidari's motives to him within minutes of seeing his behavior. This is a girl who is not privy to the information of the future like Koji is. She clocked it all by herself!

Which is why I think she is a foil to Koji. Koji has the blessing of seeing the future and how it might unravel, while Sumire forges ahead without any idea of what the future entails.

I see Sumire as an alternative to Koji. Someone who can estimate the future based on the currently available information she is privy to. Which is the reason she is the one to learn that Naruto is alive, that Amado recognises Kawaki as his own handiwork and the information Boruto shares with her.

I will break down what Konohamaru says lol.

The text Konohamaru says is:

よォーし お前ら！

イチャノのは そーいうもんや！

Here’s the full breakdown.

1. よォーし (yooooshi)

This is an exaggerated/casual version of よーし which means “Alright!”, “Okay!”, or “Good!”. The stretched オ makes it sound louder and more animated, like he’s hyping everyone up or reacting dramatically. His tone is sounding more Casual, Loud, Slightly comedic and Big-brother/older-brother energy. Konohamaru talks rougher and more casually than someone formal like Kakashi.

2. お前ら！ (omaera!)

The literal meaning is “You guys!” Or “All of you!”

Breakdown: お前 = “you” (rough/casual), ら = plural marker

His tone sounds very Informal, Masculine and Blunt but not necessarily hostile and this is the kind of speech a male shinobi uses with teammates/subordinates/friends.

Now this is where things get interesting lol.

3. イチャノのは (icha no wa)

The highlighted part is: > イチャノ

This is almost certainly shorthand/slang referencing イチャイチャ (Icha Icha) and it’s also the famous romance/flirty book series from Naruto written by Jiraiya which you guys it means “making out”, “necking”, “getting handsy”, “canoodling”, “being lovey-dovey”, “getting affectionate” (with each other), “romantic play”, and “fondling”😅 which is what jiraiya book is about and to clarify boruto and Sumire are kids here not that I’m trying to say that they’re like that but they’re just having that cute romantic flirty affectionate behavior like all kids their age do lol.

“イチャイチャ” literally carries the feeling of flirting, lovey-dovey behavior, romantic touching and acting affectionate. So, Konohamaru is basically talking about romance/flirting behavior here.

The structure のは = “as for…” / “the thing about…”

So overall イチャノのは roughly means “That lovey-dovey stuff…”, “Romance/flirting is…”

4. そーいうもんや！ (sō iu mon ya!)

Now the standard Japanese would be そういうものだ! But instead he says そーいうもんや！which This is much more casual/Kansai-style sounding.

Breakdown: そういう = “that kind of”, もん = casual version of もの (“thing”), や = Kansai-style/copula equivalent to “da and the Meaning of it is “That’s just how it is!”, “That’s how that stuff works!”, “That’s what romance is like!” And Konohamaru Tone is quite Casual, Experienced-sounding, Slightly teasing, Like he’s giving “wisdom”.

The overall mood of what Konohamaru says about Boruto and Sumire cute interactionis more of a playful, teasing, and casually romantic rather than serious or dramatic. He sounding like an older-brother figure watching two younger people have an awkward or emotionally charged interaction and humorously commenting on it like, “Yep, that’s just how this stuff goes.” The way he says “そーいうもんや!” gives off a relaxed “young love/flirting is naturally messy and awkward” feeling, as if he sees their behavior as obvious and normal rather than shocking. His rough, energetic speech style also adds a comedic warmth to the scene, making the interaction feel socially noticeable and lightly embarrassing in a fun way, rather than emotionally heavy or tense.

It’s like he’s saying “you two are acting awkwardly close again”.

Honestly that’s what makes their interaction cute☺️ is that It’s more like the Konohamaru is reacting to them being visibly close—standing too close, talking in a softer/awkward way, focusing on each other instead of the group and that’s why it feels like Konohamaru is the teasing supervisor / older mentor energy pointing out “you two are in your own little world😅” that’s why Sumire and Boruto interaction’s back then makes sense on a character-writing level because their interactions often sit in that space where it’s not openly romantic, but it’s also not purely casual either. It’s more like Sumire is careful and emotionally aware around Boruto and he tends to be oblivious but still shows concern in a restrained way and which is why they both can come off slightly awkward when the other is involved. This combination can easily get read as “cute tension,” even if in-story it’s still framed as friendship + emotional familiarity rather than explicit romance. For an example in chapter 27 Sumire drops that persona and started to be a bit confident and telling him to call her Sumire for now on and picks the cutesy act back up by telling him to look forward towards the sword and it will be cool and left him, it left him stunned because she never had a problem with being called “class rep” until now before and to him he always called her that in a sign of respect and closeness and it was such a habit and his look on his face looks confused, awkward, nervous and this is the example of the cute tension here. That’s what I love about Borusumi is how much they’re so subtle and quiet instead of being more direct and loud.

Enjoy!
