WIND BREAKER, Vol. 2

ウィンドブレイカー [Wind Breaker] #2

by Satoru Nii

Shishitoren are devotees of power, and the gang is ready to rumble.

Sakura gradually accepts the comradery of his fellow Bofurin delinquents. A routine street patrol leads to a confrontation with rival gang Shishitoren who operate on brute strength. Bofurin wins the smackdown, and Sakura catches everyone’s eyes. However, Shishitoren won’t back down, and they challenge Bofurin to one-on-one fights between their members. In a showdown where fists do the talking, Sakura’s voice will surely be heard!

I love Umemiya so much! These kids are so unserious, lol, I love them.

This is weirdly a comfort read/watch for me. Sakura's changing dynamic with everyone is so cute, and seeing some hints to the backstories for the other members of Bofurin is interesting too.

a tournament arc in volume two is crazy. they call bro the god of war…mind you it’s high schoolers beefing. these kids are DEEPLY unserious. 4 stars 🤭

Oh, Suo's fight will always make me kick my feet. You're such a delicious gremlin. His little, by-the-way comments always rilling everyone up, especially Sakura.

Umemiya is really funny. I like that were are getting to see the other characters more and the fights are exciting.

Nach fast einem halben Jahr und zahlreichen Ausleihen ohne Lesen bei Libby habe ich endlich den zweiten Teil der Reihe gelesen. Zwar war ich anfangs von den vielen Charakteren noch ein wenig verwirrt, doch am Ende des Bandes war ich so gefesselt, dass ich mir direkt Band 3 ausgeliehen und gelesen habe.

Suo 🤤🤤🤤

[라우라 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Me ha hecho gracia que las peleas hayan sido en una tarima con tanto público, pensaba que iban a ser modo más secreto JAJAJAJJ y tmb lo de que Suo sea tan alegre en todo me hace gracia. Y Kotoha ha salido poco pero qué guapa por dios😭

Conocemos a Umemiya, el líder de Furin y me sorprende cómo puede ser tan amable pero a la vez mostrar su posición con solo unas palabras y entiendes el por qué lo respetan tanto.

Por otro lado vemos a los integrantes del de Cabeza de León, ellos en serio son gente que solo busca pelear sin importar si es por algo justo, pareciera que solo lo hacen por diversión.
Hasta el momento las peleas que se han dado me han sorprendido

I like the art. So smooth when the fight scene.


Also i like Umemiya... like yknowwww i'm so free E.V.E.R.Y.D.A.Y if Umemiya-san wants to come by 😔🙏🏼

everyday is a chance to love suo and ume more

4.5

Devastated I didn't actually get to see Suo fight. He just basically psyched his opponent out without needing to hurt him.

[Ilsa༄⸼۪❀ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Umemiya is such a cool and sweet leader.
"Lets take you into adulthood with me" is a dangerous phrase Suo san. The smiley guy is always the scary one. So as Suo said to become an adult we need empathy.. we cant have empathy if we can’t imagine ourseleves in someone else’s shoes.. damn so poetic but correct!! He just summed that up so beautifully in so little time especially in that kind of messed up environment and he's so little too. I am really looking forward to Suo's backstory. I do believe he is kind.

Reseña en IG @angela.lectoravoraz

El instituto Fûrin tiene de las peores reputaciones de la zona, por tener los alumnos más rebeldes y con la media más baja; sin embargo son ellos los encargados de proteger a la gente del barrio. Solo aquellos dispuestos a enfrentarse a cualquier pelea con tal de proteger a los que quieren serán dignos de pertenecer a la Wind Breaker. Y justo ese es el objetivo de Haruka Sakura, pertenecer a esta pandilla y liderarla, claro que para ello primero deberá ganarse el respeto a puñetazos.

Personajes: tenemos a Haruka Sakura como principal protagonista, un chico que se tiene en muy alta estima, de mecha corta y que cree que usar los puños es un lenguaje propio. Pronto se dara cuenta que convertirse en el más fuerte de la pandilla no es lo único que significa pertenecer a la Wind Breaker, también lo es encontrar tu lugar en el mundo y protegerse los unos a los otros. Me ha encantado este personaje, es un poco cómico, pero me ha ganado el corazón. Además preveo en él una gran evolución. Otra cosa que me ha encantado es el found family tan bonito que se está formando.

Trama: la acción está asegurada, y es que la trama principal son las bandas callejeras. Además en el segundo volumen tenemos a dos pandillas enfrentadas, lo que aumenta aún más la acción. El final de este segundo volumen te deja con unas ganas tremendas de leer cuanto antes el tercero, y es que menudo final.

Ritmo de lectura: son súper adictivos. Todo el tiempo estás deseando saber qué va a pasar.

Conclusión: si te gustan los mangas y quieres unos que sean muy adictivos, repletos de acción y con found family: tienes que leerlo.

Well, i still dislike the setting, if i‘m honest. The overall situation with the gangs is still not something i can take seriously, since there is still no real explanation as to why they exist and why they feel the need to beat each other up. Bit apart from that, i simply love the humor and adore the characters, so i had fun with this volume.

One thing that stood out to me, was that in the scene where Suo mocks his opponent, his friends notice how that is not a „nice“ side of him. I found that quite unusual, since most of the times, i would say that very confident characters who lock down on their opponents are mostly viewed as overly strong and it‘s not something they get criticized for. The fact that Suo was not only viewed as dangerous but also as someone who has a fowl character trait despite him smiling a lot and being easy going, made me reflect a bit. I liked that detail very much. :)

The way these boys are so serious about the fights but at the same time they’re so unserious??? 😭💖 I can never have enough of them (and Sakura yelling and blushing at everything is just too cute dO IT MORE BABY BOI)

[Ester · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brutal. Las cosas van mejorando sin parar. Desde Solo Leveling que no me gustaba tanto un manga de peleas. Y, aunque de temáticas totalmente diversas, tienen en común buenos personajes con características bien definidas. Me encanta que no haya nada de fan service y, aunque hay escenas muy exageradas (como en todos los Shonen) sí que hay momentos más "realistas" en las peleas. Buah es que me gustan todos los personajes de la Wind breaker, enamorada del líder Umemiya (además de mi Crush Suô) y ya lo dije en mi opinión del primer tomo pero me encanta el protagonista. Sakura necesito más protagonistas como tú.

Der 2. Teil von 'Windbreaker' ist genau so spannend und mitreißend wie der Erste! Ich kann gar nicht auf den 3. Teil warten.
Suos Kampf hätte ich ehrlich nicht voraussagen können, der Typ geht von smiley und supportive zu mentaler Manipulation von seinem Gegner in weniger als einer Sekunde. Sakura und seine kurzzeitigen Wutanfälle lass ich mal unkommentiert.

CLOSE ENOUGH WELCOME BACK, GOJO SATORU!!

Loved the anime and loving this one as well.
Well technically this came first and I’m glad I bought this one. Glad that the anime sticked with the manga.

i am in love with suo. what an amazing character. what sly gentleman and also so cruel at the same time

[Jasmin S. · Rating 4 out of 5]

OH I KNEW HAJIME HAD THE FACE OF A MEGANE! (Delusion.) Never mind. Two volumes in, everyone is so UNSERIOUS and yet, I'm weirdly emotionally invested already.

In saving a junior high student, a fellow first year and Sakura have provoked a neighboring gang, the Shishitoren, whose general and several members challenge a select group of Bofurin to a one-on-one style tournament to settle the score. The matches include Sakura and Bofurin’s general, Umemiya. At first meeting, Umemiya doesn’t seem like the type of person to be leading the school, and Sakura is not at all impressed by his bubbly nature and proclivity for vegetable gardening. Within the Shishitoren turf is their headquarters and the site of their fights. It's an abandoned theater with plenty of good views of the fights happening on the the stage for everyone to see all of the action.

I found it a little bothersome that both of the generals for Bofurin and Shishitoren have the same childlike attitude until it’s time to get serious. They’re a little too similar. But Nii-san could be doing this to make them easier as foils for one another, so we'll have to wait and see if there's something more that comes of their similarities later. Some of the bad guys in Shishitoren are underdeveloped and more like caricatures of the typical Japanese "delinquent" stereotype, so I wish there was more done to develop them and make them less two-dimensional. This volume had some good pacing and didn’t try to cram all the fights in at once. I appreciate that the two big fights will be broken into another volume other than this one.

Sara's Rating: 8/10
Suitability Level: Grades 9-12

“Okay! Then it’s decided! In the name of our teams…let’s all have the time of our lives and duke it out!”

We’re barely two volumes into this series and we already got ourselves a tournament arc! …But can you really call taking turns fighting each other, with the winner getting less beat up(?) a tournament? Not really, but I don’t care because this is clearly an excuse to show off the personalities and fighting styles of each of the Furin boys. And it does not disappoint.

The Shishitoren team is also a great first antagonist. I’m all for crazy guys full of bloodlust going all out just because they want a good fight (and maybe something more…).

Entretenido, bueno para salir del bloqueo, corto y fácil de digerir.
Los mangas siempre son buenos para cuándo no sabes que más leer.

El tomo 2 es interesante y al mismo tiempo divertido
