Die Furin-High gilt als ultimativer Sammelplatz für Rowdys und Schlägertypen. Und doch schafft es Haruka Sakura, der dort eines Tages als neuer Schüler aufkreuzt, das Vertrauen seiner Mitschüler zu gewinnen und wird zum Klassenchief ernannt. Doch noch während er sich in seiner neuen Rolle zurechtfindet, brechen weitere Unruhen aus. Harukas Mitschüler Anzai versucht verzweifelt, einen guten Freund aus den Fängen der bedrohlichen Gang »KEEL« zu befreien und so finden sich Haruka und seine Clique schon bald darauf mitten in deren Hauptquartier wieder! Aber die jungen Helden denken gar nicht daran klein beizugeben und stellen sich ihren mit schmutzigen Tricks kämpfenden Gegnern mutig und tapfer entgegen!
omg, kaji to the fucking rescue. i need to know more about him. i legit GASPED when i saw him appear
similarly, i NEED to know more about suo. we know he's a gentleman, and he's so cheerful usually, but it's so clear there's something cruel and dark inside of him. the way he keeps on saying he's on a diet, too - i fear for the backstory of his. and also the way he was ready to beat down an unconscious kid even more and needed to be stopped by sakura of all people. and sakura having progressed enough in his perspective of being at the top and being a leader/grade captain for his class enough to stop suo and remind him what they're there for, just like how sakura needed that reminder from kaji.
also, nirei, my sweet. the way you so bravely charged into the fight anyway, even though you knew you couldn't keep up with them.
Kaji!!!! ugh tbh I binge read this all in a weekend so idk exactly what happens in each volume but Kaji's back story that we get later makes me love him even more
Aquest volum prometia batussa i no es queda gens curt, sort que venen els de 2n al rescat ^^' M'encanta l'expressivitat de tots els personatges en ple combat i com veiem l'evolució que fan quan pensen en el bé de la banda i no en interessos personals. Ja en el combat de l'Umemiya fa uns quants volums ens va introduir en el vessant més filosòfic de la lluita a través del diàleg així que ja veig que serà una constant, molt a favor!!! Amb ganes de saber com es resol, tot i que caldrà esperar fins al març :')
Kaji truly MADE this volume. Out here showing he’s the real MVP as one of the upperclassmen. I adore my feral boy—everyone can go ahead and eat his shoe 💖😌💖
The thing that truly makes this volume spectacular is the conversations between Kaji and Sakura. To begin with, Sakura was overly confident about his skills and his ability to easily take on Keel. However, as the fight progresses, his focus is shot. He’s so busy focusing on how badly he wants to fight Keel’s top, that he’s not fully locking in with his fight against his current opponent nor is he making sure to have the back of the other Furin boys. Kaji comes in to get him to sort his shit out. He reads Sakura for filth. He highlights what should be his priority as the class leader and the importance of delegating when there’s many moving pieces in a situation.
It’s only once Kaji confronts him that Sakura is able to focus in again on what matters. He realizes his own shortcomings and immediately changes course. He’s able to acknowledge that he wasn’t actually living up to what he expects from a leader, and he had to make sure to get shit done and support the Furin boys. This is how he’s able to clock that Suo is actually on the cusp of losing it. While fighting with someone, Suo is so pissed off he’s ready to just keep hitting someone when they’re passed out. Sakura is then able to intervene and tell him that enough is enough. He indirectly tells Suo that his rage should be focused towards someone else because beating one guy to a pulp isn’t going to solve anything. This then further reinforces to Suo why it is that he’s willing to follow Sakura as a leader. It’s not that Sakura is infallible, but he’s constantly willing to course correct and steer others in the right direction too. It’s wonderful 🥰
Now, I can’t finish this review without talking about Kiryu. Of the Furin boys, he’s one of the more “feminine” ones, and his opponent absolutely looks down upon him for it. However, Kiryu is comfortable in his own skin and is purposeful about his self expression. He doesn’t consider it an insult to be compared to a girl and challenges his opponent on his misogynistic views. Ultimately, he easily dodges his opponents attacks and wins his fight against him without having to use brute force. It really is no wonder why girls like him 😌 He’s 10000x better than losers like the dude he was fighting.
All this to say…I continue absolutely loving this story! I can’t get enough of my boys 😩
P.S. I will be talking more in depth about Kaji in the review of the next volume. There’s so much to be said about his inner “beast,” but these thoughts might be better expressed in the next volume.
Es domingo y el cuerpo lo sabe (me he leído 2 volúmenes en un día, ayuda).
Me ha encantado. Nunca pensé que, siendo yo una amante de las historias de romance, iba a acabar viciada a un manga de peleas 😭.
En cuanto a este volumen… Empezamos por Nirei. Lo amo.He sentido tanto el mensaje que tiene por aportar este personaje. Una persona que ha estado esperando a que los demás lo protejan, pero que cuando se da cuenta trata de aportar su granito de arena. Pese a que no se ha visto nada más sobre él a parte de cuando sale del recinto, creo que su historia es potencialmente inspiradora. No sé exactamente si comenzará a pelear. Pero incluso si no lo hace, creo que Nirei es un personaje muy importante para el grupo.
Pasamos a Kaji. Mira, ya dije que no iba a opinar mucho de él hasta que no viese mas desarrollo de su historia. Y efectivamente me cae genial (como todos los personajes help). Me ha gustado mucho el golpe de realidad que le ha dado a Sakura. Y que el tío se ponga a hacer backflips mientras pelea (???? Me meo, sinceramente.
Me ha faltado ver un poquito más a Suo peleando 😞 (una va a lo que va). Pero en fin, supongo que hay que guardar emoción para la siguiente pelea 💪.
Me encanta que este manga se siente como una especie de slice of life, pero version puñetazos. Es como que te mete los mensajes más inspiradores y bonitos q he leído mientras están con media cara sangrando JSHSJAHD.
Es una pena que mañana tenga clase y, con ello, menos tiempo para leer. Pero la adicción que tengo a este manga es tan severa que no creo que eso sea mucho problema para mí 😭.
NO NIRE MY BABY HOW DARE YOU TOUCH OUR SUNSHINE YOU BISH!!! AS SOON AS I SAW KAJI I SCREAMED GOSH MY HEART WAS BEATING SO FAST BUT YES THANK GOD FINALLY THE SENPAI'S ARE HERE!! Kaji is sooooo Damn cool. The man that HE'S... a good freaking upperclassmen on top of that also more gratuitous. The way he literally knocked some sense into Sakura's head he's teaching him how to be a good leader.
I love how they didn't feel devastated because of the amount of enemy numbers, but they just don't like to lose from their senpais. You know when our Mitsuki wear his jacket properly.. it means you've fked up so bad. Mitsuki is plenty handsome especially with his hair down. These boys are so eyecandies.
Suo chan is maaaad. He's not smiling at all he's pissed badly. When the smiley characters ain't smiling anymore...YOU BETTER RUN. I'm so late at noticing this, but THIS is what Nirei meant in the first chapters when he said he expected Suo to be cold. Suo was cold in this chapter BECAUSE Nirei was injured. This almost led him to go out of his fighting style. Suo usually fights with kicks, or moving the enemy away. But at the start of this chapter he was about to PUNCH his opponent. Because Nirei was hurt... That rare show of anger was because he thinks he failed to protect nirei. Meanwhile, sakura was also feeling the same. As the freshie captain and vice captain, they have more room to grow. Nirei also feels upset thinking he's holding everyone back and being pathetic. This trio will grow a lot from this experience.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I love them all. Really. Still no bad volume so far. And Kaji being the cover is fitting. I do love his character. I love how he gave the wake up call (tough love) to Sakura. He is a leader after all.
This volume will be the start of Season 2 (anime) and I can’t freaking wait. One of my favorite volume so far.
friendship, loyalty, and the importance of teamwork is what matters in this volume. i like this sm for the way the author decided to make Sakura "not that much of an OP" and making his character development shown in everytime he fights for someone. listen to me i'm a characters oriented reader and this manga is giving me that
The answer to my question about getting to see Suo fight fight is a resounding NO. Almost, but no go. He was big mad though and knocked his opponent out with one kick, so...
I really like the camaraderie that all the students at Furin have, and how many layers they all have.
el meu Kaji ha estat més hot que mai, si ja m’agradava imagineu-vos ara que l’he vist emprenyat de veritat, vull llegir el 7 ja de ja (nota addicional per dir-ne que la psicopatia d’en Suo i la maduressa progressiva d’en Sakura també em semblen molt hot). resum: 🥵
4. Wind breaker 6 Ufff quins nervis llegint el tom!! La classe d'en Sakura va a l'amagatall de la KEEL per rescatar l'amic de l'Anzai, però la banda els té preparada una trampa. Sent inferiors en número, en Sakura i els seus pateixen de valent fins que arriba en Kaji per ajudar. Gaudeixo moltíssim d'aquest shonen de pals tot i que els solc detestar. Però clar ha de ser amb gamberros perquè jo en tingui interès hahahaa.
The writing in this volume was a little lack luster and repetitive. This could be the translation as well, but I felt like I had read the same thing over and over again. The Sakura development was worth it tho.
I decided to pick it up where the anime left it cause after skimming through some previous chapters I saw that the anime did a pretty good job adapting those volumes, so maybe I'll read them properly after catching up. My love for Sakura is unmatched so far, I truly adore him. The fights are really well done, I'm excited to read the rest.
C’était le dernier tome que j’avais en ma possession, quel malheur.. Il va vite falloir que je me procure la suite parce que j’ai besoin de savoir ce qu’il va se passer par la suite! Rien que de penser que je n’ai plus rien à lire de cette série ça me rend déjà nostalgique. J’ai enchaîné les six tomes les uns après les autres, j’étais tellement prise dans l’histoire que là pour le coup, passer à autre chose ça va être dur. Je pourrais même dire que ce manga est un coup de coeur en vérité. Attendre la suite va être longue pour le coup..
Dans ce sixième tome, fraîchement arrivé au lycée Fûrin, célèbre pour abriter les pires racailles du pays, Haruka Sakura a gagné la confiance de ses nouveaux camarades, au point d’être élu délégué de classe. Mais dès les premiers jours de sa nouvelle vie au lycée, les embrouilles commencent. Afin de venir en aide à un ami d’enfance d’un de leurs camarades de classe, Sakura et ses potes lancent l’assaut sur la planque des Keel, une bande de délinquants sans pitié ! Les jeunes voyous au grand coeur vont devoir affronter des adversaires qui n’hésitent pas à employer des méthodes ignobles !
Avec la fin du tome précédent, j’étais plus qu’impatiente de découvrir ce fameux combat entre Wind Breaker et Keel. Et c’était clairement à la hauteur de mes attentes! Un combat incroyable, hyper dynamique, qui nous tient en haleine tout le long. Ce gang des Keel c’est vraiment un gang redoutable. Ils n’ont aucune éthique, ils peuvent se mettre à dix sur une seule personne et en plus ils aiment se battre avec des coups de battes ou des bâtons. Personnellement, je trouve qu’ils ont un côté assez terrifiant, ça c’est dû au fait qu’ils portent leurs capuches quasiment en permanence et du coup on ne voit pas leurs visages.. En tout cas, ce combat était incroyable à voir et j’ai hâte de lire le prochain tome pour voir comment tout ça va se terminer. J’ai adoré le comportement de Sasuke dans ce tome, il semble prendre de plus en plus compte de ce qu’on lui dit et il se fie de plus en plus aux autres. C’est vraiment chouette. Nirei dans ce tome m’a vraiment scotché, il a fait preuve d’un sacré courage, quand on connaît le personnage, on sait que son action lui a beaucoup demandé. C’était encore une fois un tome vraiment excellent que j’ai adoré lire. Vivement la suite maintenant.
Un tome composé quasiment entièrement à un combat. On alterne les « points de vue », on voit les différents personnages pendant leur bagarre, on voit comment ils s’en sortent, le genre de bagarre qu’ils utilisent etc, j’ai vraiment adoré ça. Mais vu la fin, ce qui m’intéresse le plus c’est clairement ce qu’il va se passer dans le prochain tome!
"If you can't even save your own classmates, then you shouldn't call yourself their grade captain!"
Kaji just became my new favorite. He's second only to Sakura in my mind.
The sheer intensity of this volume was insane. Nire finally did something (he tried at least), Kaji got mad at Sakura (rightfully so), and Suo showed off his anger in a frightening way where even Sakura had to tell him to calm down.
ch 42 sugishita ripping the door open everything he does is inherently funny once again, i come from the future so i can stand a little of sakura's annoyingness and that's on character development these KEEL uniforms highkey remind me of the fairy godmother's little green workers in shrek 2 the way the hoods cover their faces
ch 43 another me problem i wish instead of saying he's "strong" that they'd use "talented" instead. cuz like sakura is flexible and can do crazy gymnastics but sugishita is strong. like is that just a translation issue or is it smtg like calling football talent ego instead of skill?
ch 44 ok kiryu feminist queen "damn i love me some one sided pummeling" ok same rando KEEL guy! loved seeing sakura get smashed with a wooden stick. omg usually i'd get pissed at the weak guy running into danger bc he feels useless and just makes the situation worse but here like idk maybe i just can't get mad at nirei?
ch 45 omg the gang's all here.
ch 46 okayyy kaji pop off sakura def needs that
ch 47 "smiling is my virtue" love that
ch 48 class 1's big 5 fights. do i sense the next ring of gov't? bc what happens when umemiya and co graduate? will they go to college? will they leave furin? i'm interested.
ch 49 "i promise i'll be there" oh look he's changed so quickly.
ch 50 it is literally this scene with suo protecting nirei and sakura stopping suo from killing the guy that was turned into edits from the anime and that sealed the deal for me starting this journey w windbreaker. so woohoo for that. noo sakura we all want to see suo go batshit crazy
