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

Following our protagonist, we are taken through the vast world of a secret martial arts society, the Murim; where the top of the food chain are the strongest practitioners of martial arts. The general plot of this manwha seems to be linear, hero vs villain, hero pulls through in the end; yet there are many surprises. The art and character development are lacking in finesse, but are made up with strong emotion and iron-clad wills. Overall I would rate 10/10 for this based on how easily you get sucked into the story, wanting to see more of our heroes war on evil.

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 ...

I have this tendency to read the first chapter of a manga / Manwha i find interesting from the synopsis and cover art and if I'm not intrigued by the first chapter i move on, but do not fear The Breaker was not something that i "moved on" after the first chapter. This Manwha had me up from 11:30pm all the way to 6:00am!. I'm sure you have all had some sort of anime or manga that has kept you up through the night, making your eyes betray you forcing your eye lids to close as if your eyes were pulling the curtains down,

So for those that don't know I like to learn something every time I read a manga or watch an anime. Case in point 'The Breaker' is a Manwha which is a Korean manga and a Manhua is a Chinese manga, just so you know what those mean, now TO THE REVIEW.
The Breaker, at first, looks like it's going to be one of those bully revenge stories, but thank Christ it wasn't, it's about (correct me if I'm wrong) the world of underground martial arts and what happens when people who have apparent monstrous amount of Ki fight. I only thought Ki was the fundamental ...

Special Note -
This is a Korean "Manhwa," meaning it is created in the style of a Manga, but it is not a Japanese series. The names are Korean in large part, but the main character's master is actually named after a famous school of Muay Thay martial arts, which is a style popular in Thailand. Story - 10/10 The Breaker was a total breath of fresh air for me. It starts out like a typical shonen, with a young high-school boy being thrown into a dangerous world of super-human warriors, but the story takes many unexpected turns. The point-of-view shifts between the master and his apprentice, ...

This is a phenomenal manwha!! Just read it!! Just trust me. If you want to read a martial arts manwha that Has realist elements as well as crazy inhuman elements, READ THIS!! It starts as the normal Kenichi-type manwha with a kid being bullied, but don't worry, it stops that crap really quick and throws you into a world of crazy martial artists everywhere.
The art is absolutely perfect for this genre. Although there are elements from this main character shared from Kenichi, the art and darkness this author dishes out rises it to a completely different level! If you read History's Strongest Disciple: ...

The first time I read this I was skeptic about its popularity and overall praise. I wanted to read a new and interesting manga and I found this. I was instantly hooked. The brutal violence brought the story further than any shonen manga I have ever read. I soon began to love the characters, the amazing art and everything about it. This manga entails a boy who is bullied so much that he wants to choose death over life. However, he is saved by his Teacher and this teacher changes his life. This "normal teacher" is nothing more then one of the greatest martial artists

overall the story plot is great and i recommend it to anyone that like martial arts manga. The only the problem that I have with this manga is that I feel is that every update is always so short. It takes weeks just to get through one scene. The only good thing is that you are left almost on a cliff hanger every week, waiting for the next update.

Just finished The Breaker part I, I gotta say I really enjoyed it. At first I didn't really how Shioon was getting bullied and doing not shit about it, really irritated me. With the help of his master Chun-Woo, Shioon finally was able stand of for himself and in the process become part of something bigger than himself. All in all he went through an amazing character development, through amazing builds that left me in awe.
The art is amazing it completely left me in shock of its greatness as each chapter progressed. The character are also splendid, they each bring something to series from bad asses ...

As an avid hater of re-reading things, having read this four times fills me with an impossibly powerful sense of self-hatred.
The perfectly encapsulated, most excellently written underdog story I've ever read. But, it begins as cliché'd as humanly possible. Bullied kid trope, reaching the height of a world he's unfamiliar with. They've got incredible, hidden talent, built from their mental circumstances, and an iron, unbreakable will. Sounds awfully similar to “Hajime no Ippo”, “The Climber”, “Holyland”, but the difference is an unparalleled sense of pacing. A kid without a footing, Shioon, tries to attain peace in his school life, while being able to protect those ...

Now it has been a while since I’ve read The Breaker, so I’m sorry if I won’t stay strict to details. Absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt this manhwa series is one of the best in martial arts genre. I’m sure I’ll have a 100% support by saying that. Indeed it’s a very high level manga, that may interest not only fans of seinen and action genres but all the manga lovers as well.
Starting with the storyline, I can say that it is pretty simple, but interesting and unique at the same time. Nothing special, still not boring, and the ...

First of all, I really enjoyed reading this manwha (Korean manga), Its a bit like reading Bleach (only without the supernatural/ super power element to it) and I think its good enough to be animated like Bleach has been (although its a Korean manga so maybe it'll jump from animation to live action instead? There have been many korean live action dramas recently Like City Hunter and Playful Kiss that were originally manga/anime and have been turned into Live Action dramas in Korean so one can only hope that this could be the case with The Breaker) :P
*ahem* The story: Brilliant. The pace was good ...

The Breaker ... When i first started reading this manhwa i didn't know what really to expect. Lets start with a brief description.
The Breaker is a manhwa that follows mostly 2 people, Yi Shi-Woon, a highschool boy who is very week, frail, cowardly and is under constant bullying and Han Chun Woo a recently transfered professor who is a "ladies man". In truth, Han Chun Woo is actually at the school on a mission, he is apart of the murim, a secret world of martial arts and when Yi Shi-Woon sees who Han Chun Woo really is, he asks him to be trained so that ...

ALERT: The following review may contain SPOILERS.
Also, english is not my native language, so I'm really sorry if you'll find any error. Story 8/10 The story is great. There's no other word to define that. It deals with a bullied boy, who after seeing his new english teacher beating up a couple of gangsters, decided to make him his new martial arts master, no matter if the teacher doesnt want to. He will get rapidly involved with the "Murim", the martial arts world, that's not so kind, specially with Chun-Woo, the teacher, who's actually the "Nine arts dragon", one of the stronger, if not the strongest of them ...

There's no need me writing this as is evident to the continuous list of reviews with rated 10 but with free time comes great.. no, not great but a responsibility to write a review from a not so imaginative, opinionated person who dreams to be a writer.
The Breaker is a series that broke from the overrated fighting solo hero, school life routine that is rampant on many comic I've observed. I've read the first 3 chapters or so and I knew I would waste my time for a couple of hours to finish the volumes available, in which, with luck was already completed. You know ...

I don't know, but korean manhaw's are pretty heavy in portraying the dark themes especially the bullying in the beginning. Compared to Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi the Breaker is much heavier. If you liked this manga you'll probably like Feng Shen Ji.
Anyways, i think the story line is fanstastic i give it a 9/10 (but only for the first part up until The Breaker: New Waves). Though the death of Shiho was saddening it was understandable and very well done, her death also allows the reader to sympathise for Han as he turns to evil in New Waves. The art is good i give ...

the breaker wasa the first manhwa i read,
and boy was it a enjoyable ride. the series starts with this emo character who is always getting bullied, who is even thinking of suicide. but his life is about to change by meeting a martial arts master who comes to his school to teach. but this master has a secret to hide Story - 8/10 the story starts slow and to many it might feel a bit predictable, but by the mid you get hooked by the actions and the amazing world that gets revealed to us. and finally an unique ending which leaves questions in your mind......(kinda forcing you ... |
