The Breaker: New Waves (Manhwa)

(if you didn't read the prequel don't read this contains major spoilers for prequel)
Decided to re-edit this since i couldn't express why I rated this so highly.
I was trying to hard not to spoil anything i ended up writing nothing so here's my second attempt

First off one thing i loved about this is that he doesn't need to relearn to fight he knows how to fight however he can't because of his ki center being broken. I'm sure as soon as he gets his ki center fixed he'll be back to his old self

Story -
The story revolves around the kid this time around instead of his master.
It starts off exactly at the ending of the breaker with the Sunwoo.
Where he is asked to be the Sunwoo Leader because of the Talisman he received from before, while adamant in his decision not to involve himself with Murims he is warned that he is still infamous and targeted by those who seek revenge for what his master has done even though he was deemed normal from the Association.
The Association has their hands full with Goomoonryong so they are unable to help.

Goomoonryong has also attracting many followers who are causing more problems by rampaging the streets brawling with normal people and committing heinous crimes.

after the first few chapters it picks up much quicker than the prequel
perhaps a bit less comedy though it is still there with a touch more romance.

With so few chapters out it is hard to give it an accurate score at this moment however i feel this story has more potential than the prequel (this was when i was at chapter 31) now i can safely say this is probably one of the best things i'm currently reading and look forward for every new chapter that comes out

Art -
Loved the artwork it is so detailed, you are never left thinking... Huh? what happened while starring at the artwork trying to decipher it. it is just as good if not better than original.

Characters -
while you may miss some of the old characters like i do
it introduces new likeable characters quiet well. Certain things that happen in main story trigger memories for the new characters and i found this to be very nice while not interrupting the pacing of the main story it gives more info on the new characters.

Enjoyment -
After i got past the rocky few chapters that felt a bit surreal i absolutely loved it I cannot wait for the next few chapters was left at a cliffhanger... woe is me

So I decided to write a review for this one. Better read The Breaker first before reading this.

I really really loved The Breaker which is why I was really happy when I learned that it has a sequel. But when I read a review saying that this one was kinda disappointing, I was like "NO WAY!" and decided to read it ASAP to prove him wrong.

But after reading the first few chapters before, I kinda understand why. Because I felt KINDA disappointed, too.

Story: 7/10

The Breaker was really really awesome.. but somehow in this manhwa, I think the story kinda drifted off from what I was expecting and the pace of the story is really slow. Seriously.

The thrilling sensation is still there of course but this manhwa is nothing like The Breaker.

I didn't mean it in a bad way though, after all this is still the continuation.

The only good thing about the story is... the story is more focus to Shioon. Unlike in The Breaker which focused more to his master, Goomoonryong.

Art: 9/10

I could say that the art really improved. In The Breaker, the artstyle is more manly though in the last few volumes of it, the art "softened" abit.

But here, I think the artstyle really "softened" to boot. Though I prefer it that way. What I mean is, compared to the first few chapters of The Breaker, Shioon looks so manly.. here he looks harmless and weak.

Character: 6/10

Well the characters are okay.. but of course the characters in The Breaker are much better. Though there are lots of new characters here and seemed okay, too. Though most of them are females.

It's just that.. I only like Shioon here. And I'm starting to dislike Goomoonryong. It's like he's the main villain here now or something though he's rarely seen in this manhwa now.

Enjoyment: 7/10

I did say that I was kinda disappointed, but I still enjoyed it. After all, I'm still curious to what will happen to Shioon and his master.

The only thing that I didn't enjoy is.. lots of fanservices!! I don't like it at all. Lots of panties were showing and all. I hate it. I'm a girl so I don't enjoy seeing those things.

Yes in The Breaker there were fanservices, too but not that extreme. I mean I was able to endure reading it. But here.. ugh. I just don't like it.

Overall: 7/10

I guess I'll give it a 7. Like I said the thrilling sensation is still there and if you're really an avid fan of The Breaker, then read it.

But beware of the slow development of the story. read more
