arc provided by the publisher via netgalley in exchange for an honest review! 

I really enjoyed this manga from start to finish. Haruka Sakura is an outsider who's just enrolled in Furin High School, a last-chance-high deal known for delinquents who constantly fight. Haruka is determined to brawl his way to the top, but when he arrives, things turn out to be very different from the rumors! 

All around, Wind Breaker was a delight. I loved the art, the characters, the plot and twists, and I really can't wait to see where Haruka's journey through Furin takes him! This story also had a lot of dynamics I love that I can't talk about without giving too much away, but in short this story is all about not judging by appearances and the dangers of relying too much on your past and letting it determine how you accept your future. So if you're shying away because of the cover or the summary, give Wind Breaker a chance!
