For background the original ran from 2007-2010, and Breaker: New Waves (part 2) ran from 2010-2015. Both were in the classic black and white manga format. I honestly didn’t think it would ever come back, but it did - in 2022 in a webtoon format (link).
I had the time this weekend, so I re-read the last bunch of chapters from both part 1 and part 2 to jog my memory and binged the 50-odd chapters officially released in English. The webtoon format is obviously great for reading on mobile, and the colour artwork is fine (and sometimes great). But the artist sometimes throws in a black and white panel that makes me long for the old art style (e.g., Chapter 54).
At the moment, I wouldn’t say it’s reached the heights of the previous parts (my expectations are maybe too high), but the nostalgia is driving me along and I’ve still been enjoying it. Just curious if anyone has tried it, either fresh or someone who read the previous parts.
I tried reading the first few chapters when it came out but I didn’t really enjoy it so I stopped reading but I’ve recently started again and being able to read 70 chapters in one go solves a lot of pacing problems! I really had fun catching up to S3 and will continue reading it, I had several moments where I really felt the same as when I read S1 or S2 and I realized how much I missed The Breaker.
I hope it’ll stay as fun to read now that I’ll have to wait a week each time
