SynopsisThe new English teacher, Chun-Woo, is not your ordinary teacher. Shioon, a victim of constant bullying, unexpectedly witnesses Chun-Woo's fighting power, and begs him to make him his disciple. Chun-Woo claims he can teach Shioon only if he is truly determined, and Shioon must jump off a bridge into a deep river in order to prove it!
It turns out, however, that Chun-Woo and his powers are more than meets the eye. Shioon makes a grand entrance into the hidden world of martial arts, and he is about to be taught by the best there is!

This manhwa is one of my favorites. I started reading it and within a day i was finished and wishing there were more chapters out. so i read it again.
Story - 9
The story starts out like so many other fighting manga or manhwa with a kid whos a little different getting picked on by a bunch of bullies until some adult teaches him some moves. While not starting out very unique it becomes a story about much more than. You start seeing a whole new world that was hidden to normal people that Shi Woon is stepping into. One of the good/bad things about this particular story is that it starts off a little slow, so it may take a few chapters to get into. I say this can be a good thing because it feels a bit more realistic plus it really builds up your anticipation and when it does take off it doesnt dissapoint.
Art - 10
F*cking amazing.
Character - 10
this is where it really shines in my opinion. There are so many interesting characters and they are all so different. Plus they really really develop during the story and i can tell that at this point of the story theres still much more they can achieve and its really exciting for the reader. Characters who start out being there mostly for jokes have a much darker history and really get to show you how integral to the story they are. One of my favorite character relationships in this manhwa is the protagonist Shi Woon and his rival So Chun Hyuk. The first time they meet each other changes both of their lives by so much, and at the risk of giving anything away ill stop there. very cool.
Enjoyment - 10
There are quite a few spots in this manhwa where i stopped reading and reread the same few pages a few times over before continuing. The whole story was just a lot of fun to read, and i cant wait to read the rest of the chapters as they are released.
Overall - 10
This is the kind of story that makes your friends mad at you for introducing to them because they cant stop reading it. Its a perfect blend of comedy, romance, and most of all action. Highly recommended. read more

Although this is ongoing , at 45 chapters read I think it's fair that I write a review at this point in the story .
Story : Although not completely and utterly unheard of [lol ,and what is ,in our days ?! ] it certainly has it's unique points.It takes the story of martial arts to a new level ; one with many epic battles and small details.You will find the story easy to digest ,yet not boring ,mysterious and slowly being formed like a puzzle ,not too fast ,not too slow in development. It also has very good humor sometimes and some romance [my perfect combination] 9
Art: well, i can't say anything here except : flawless .A great,clean art ,perfect for martial arts manwa.Err..i don't really know what to say more since I think it's perfect...so 10.
Character: Well this is another nice trait in this manwa.I can guarantee you that these characters are not flat.Each character has something special ,but now i will only focus on the 3 main characters :Woo Han Chun ,Lee Shi Woon , Lee Shiho [ don't ask me why they seem to have the same names...i have no idea cause i don't know corean ]
Woo Han Chun: Well besides he is a total hottie....I think his personality is one of the most complex in this series.In him, a battle of many different feelings is taking place , and you can see that throughout the series,as he ,as an individual , changes with the advancement of the story .I personally love all the sides of his character: the dark, vengeaful ,merciless,but also the kind ,funny ,bit flirtatios part , and especially , the way his kindness and caring towards his disciple ,Lee Shi Woon and Shiho ,grows throughout this story.
Lee Shi Woon : Another character that you will love.This highschool kid grows so much in this series thanks to Woo Han .A cheerful guy ,yet with a sad background , and sad circumstances .He grew in this series so naturally from a character you pity and feel sympathy for to a strong character you just have to support and admire.His change was the most smooth done, i believe.
Lee SHiho: The 'dame' in this series.At first you see her as a femme fatale ,but I think there are also so many sides to her ,that....I will let you discover by reading this great manwa. 10
Enjoyment : Funny ,full of action , a story with a ferm grasp ....I don't see why someone could dislike this.
Overall:...well it's kinda obvious I give it a 10 read more

If you Like one then you will like the other, I promise you that.
both martil arts, action, school life Manhwas, both protagonists want to get stronger, both have to beg masters to teach them, both get unreal powers. i could keep on going for a while.
while they both have simlar settings the story are very different mainly because of the protagonists, one is a strength baka introduced into a world of genius and superhumans. while the other is weaking being pushed into a corner and make to get stronger to protect. the breaker is darker and in more real that veritas.
trust me, to love one is to love the other
Korean Manhwa very similar to the breaker, a young boy seeks to be strong and asks training from a stranger.
Both stories has a master and a disciple, The disciple wants the masters help to learn how to fight better, Both masters ended up teaching the disciple wether they wanted to or not...
Great stories
These manga are extremely similar in setting: they show us the world of martial arts, which exist secretely inside the usual present time world. Martial arts in both manga are based on the usage of Ki energy. Another close similarity is that both manga starts with main protagonist meeting incredibly strong martial art master and becoming his disciple.

More in-line with plagiarism than a show of respect, the beginnings of The Breaker cannot but help one think of GTO/Onizuka. A new badarse teacher starts teaching at a school, bumps into a bullied kid, has to save him from jumping off the school roof and - of course - tries to get it on with a hot female teacher. If not for the art being so fantastic and GTO being equally fantastic, I'm sure this issue would be touched upon more than it has been.
Awhile after its GTO-theft introduction period, it does go off in its own martial arts / The Karate Kid direction. However, it completely goes to shit once the martial arts elite nonsense takes over completely, late on; becoming a subpar shounen fighting manga with A++++ art.
Both deal with a bad ass teacher. They even save someone from jumping off the rooftop in a similar way.
In both series, an unpredictable teacher is assigned to a group of troublesome students. Both teachers are quite unusual, and both seem to stumble into fights in order to protect their students. Not to mention that both of them have a sort of favorite student which happens to be bullied in one way or another.
