For those unfamiliar with the series, Satoru Nii’s original “WIND BREAKER” manga has been captivating readers on Kodansha’s Magazine Pocket website since January 2021, accumulating 23 tankobon volumes to date. Its popularity also led to a TV anime adaptation, which aired for two successful seasons in 2024 and 2025. Crunchyroll, which streams both seasons, describes the anime as: “Welcome to Furin High School, an institution infamous for its population of brawny brutes who solve every conflict with a show of strength. Some of the students even formed a group, Bofurin, which protects the town. Haruka Sakura, a first-year student who moved in from out of town, is only interested in one thing: fighting his way to the top.”
