Preliminary (32/? chp)
Thanks to the growing success of Tokyo Revengers, furyo has been refreshed and finds again in the spotlight in spite of the kind of niche it is, no matter what we say. It is in this continuity that a new furyo manga more modern than what we have known until now is in our hands. Published in Pocket Magazine, Wind Breaker by Nii Satoru is one of these works.

We can consider this manga as a condensed version of the style which includes all the codes of the furyo style. We can feel the inspiration of several key titles of the genre in this work. As far as the chara-design is concerned, we are close to something very modern and very dynamic like Tokyo Revengers. The drawing style is almost the same but the author added a little more dynamism. The main story is greatly inspired by the manga Sugarless by Masami Hosokawa either in the whole or in the writing of the characters. As for the interactions between the characters, the author doesn't spare us the great speeches about friendship but like mangas like Rokudenashi Blues or Crows, we are on something more down to earth and simpler. It is on this point that I would have restraints since it gives dialogues much too flat and sometimes quite unnecessary. But it is a component of the furyo genre that is not unpleasant.

To summarize this manga it's a condensed version of everything that has been done in furyo these last years. There is not much original in its development but it remains very pleasant to read. The evolution of the manga is positive and so much to go towards something good. However I have a lot of reservations about the writing of the characters because we are clearly in the cliché.
