The Boruto plot has advanced considerably, and it has entered its concluding stages. The stakes are higher than they ever were before, and fans are eager to see how the story will pan out. Given the gravity of the situation, it’s quite difficult for characters to explore romantic relationships in the animanga series. However, some characters seem to have expressed an interest in people and their willingness to get romantically involved. One such character is Sumire.
The question that most fans are asking is this: Does Sumire love Boruto? Yes, the interactions that took place in the manga suggest that she is romantically interested in the protagonist. The hints were present from the time she was introduced in the manga series. At first, her interactions with the protagonist seemed quite platonic. However, as the Two Blue Vortex manga progressed, it became quite clear that she had a romantic interest in Boruto.
There were plenty of theories floating around on the internet regarding Sumire’s love for the protagonist. This theory started to take shape when the Omnipotence was first revealed. Eida used this technique to help Kawaki, and this quite literally altered people’s memories. However, there were only two characters who were unaffected by this—Sumire Kakei and Sarada Uchiha.
This was the first clue that suggested Sumire’s strong affinity for the protagonist. Following this, the interaction between her and Sarada confirmed her feelings for Boruto. Sarada constantly referred to Sumire as the class rep. She was quite upset with Sarada for looking at her through his lens.

Furthermore, Sarada was aware of Sumire’s feelings for the protagonist. However, she ran to him and embraced him, which was another reason for Sumire’s frustration. This confirmed Sumire’s admiration for Boruto. Her love for the protagonist could have played a role in her immunity to Omnipotence. However, it is highly unlikely that this would lead to a canonical relationship in the Two Blue Vortex manga series.
Why a romantic relationship between Sumire and Boruto doesn’t make sense
Sumire and the protagonist have barely interacted in the animanga series. Furthermore, he always looked at her as the class rep, indicating a purely platonic relationship from his end. There haven’t been any incidents that indicate any potential romantic development between the two. Furthermore, the stakes are quite high, and the protagonist is in a tricky spot.
He is quite literally putting his life on the line. Currently, Jura is on the battlefield, and there isn’t a single person who can defeat him. Additionally, the protagonist’s most powerful technique didn’t work on Jura. Therefore, fans don’t even know if he will survive in the next few chapters. This is why fans don’t think Sumire and Naruto's son would get involved romantically.
Last but not least, the manga has hinted that Sarada and the protagonist might become romantic partners. While it hasn’t been evident, fans believe that the feeling is mutual between the two. However, only time will tell whether or not this is the case once Boruto saves the village from all the threats present at the moment.
In summation, Sumire is in love with Boruto. However, the feeling is not mutual, and fans have arrived at this conclusion by looking into some of their interactions in the past. Furthermore, the current situation in Konohagakure is quite bad, and we don’t know if the protagonist will even make it out alive.
