 Thank you to Netgalley and the tagged publisher for my copy of Windbreaker Vol 1.

I loved reading this manga. It didn't take me long to read, but I already love the premise of this manga. I really liked Haruka Sakura's design and his attitude. It made me laugh at times because he's so determined. It centers around the life of young Haruka Sakura, a boy with heterochromia in both hair and eyes. He has always been ostracized because of his appearance and demeanor. The alienation he felt led him to enroll in Furin High School, an institution renowned for its delinquent-like students, to prove his strength by defeating the current leader of the school. Unbeknownst to him, two years prior to his arrival, the students of Furin pledged to defend their town from outside attacks and invasions, which seemingly obstructs his plan. He did not expect to start experiencing a sense of community thanks to the recent change in the school and the way townsfolk react to his presence. 

Although I did watch the anime first, so maybe I am taking that into consideration, but I can't wait to read more of this series.

Avabilve to watch on Chruncyroll
