About the Manga
Wind Breaker debuted in Kodansha's Magazine Pocket app in January 2021. Kodansha USA Publishing has been releasing the manga digitally in English since spring 2022 and will start monthly print releases in July.
Description: An adrenaline-filled manga set in a high school for delinquents who are now heroes protecting their town. A fierce, new student arrives at the school determined to fight his way to the top and become the strongest of them all. This edgy, action-packed manga is guaranteed to excite fans of Tokyo Revengers and other stories about high school delinquents.
Haruka Sakura wants nothing to do with weaklings—he's only interested in the strongest of the strong. He just started at Furin High School, a school of degenerates known for their brawling strength—strength they use to protect their town from anyone who wishes it ill. But Haruka's not interested in being a hero or being part of any sort of team—he just wants to fight his way to the top!
The manga has also inspired a stage play adaptation and a new game titled Wind Breaker: Heroic Tales of Delinquents, set to release on March 12 for smartphones and PC.
