Synopsis

Burdened with expectations since childhood, second-year high schooler Jo "Jay" Ja-Hyun feels obligated to aim for the top through his studies. Despite obtaining the title of student president at Taeyang High, he continues to study diligently, giving him little time to befriend others. However, possessing an exceptional talent for biking with a technique that astonishes other experienced bikers, there is more to him than meets the eye.

One afternoon, while Jay is skidding his bike at high speed, he catches the interest of his classmate, Yoon Minu. Amazed by his unparalleled biking skill, Minu is quick to recruit him to his biking crew, but Jay coldly rejects the offer. With a determination to show Jay the fun of riding with others, Minu proposes a simple deal—to race against a member of his team, promising to leave him alone if he wins.

Fucking Discontinued… 😭 But Wind Breaker is without a doubt my favorite sports manga/manhwa. Easy 10/10. I’m not gonna go super deep into the plot so people can experience it for themselves, but just know the story is fantastic. It has every emotion. There are heartbreaking moments, goofy and fun ones, and some seriously top-tier character development.

Jay Jo is an amazing main character. He starts off quiet and keeps to himself, but he’s insanely talented and adapts to everything that comes his way. His relationship with his uncle was honestly one of my favorite parts, it’s so nice compared to his family situation, and you ...

Personally, Windbreaker is dear to my heart. It was one of the first stories I read while I was in High School. I will say this.
The beginning and about midway point are near golden. Absolute action, a bit of funny romance, and overall a great plot. But today, I feel like it has lost it's meaning. I felt like they're just dragging it at this point. It's the same story with every race. MC clutches the race, or MC gets destroyed and has a life lesson taught to him. It's boring now, and it's unfortunate, because I used to rate this much higher.

This was absolutely painful to get through, and probably one of the worst written stories I've read in years. It's boring school drama with boring students acting out every cliche teen struggle that has ever existed. The beginning is a page-for-page copy of Initial D which tells me the author was out of ideas from the very start. MC is a complete jerk and unlikable beyond anything I could imagine. Dude has zero personality other than telling people to shut up and leave him alone. I understand this is his "shell" but it's so over-the-top and extreme I don't know how anyone could take it ...
