Wind Breaker is an impassioned take on cycling and connections between people that it can lead to. Of course a webtoon as good as this deserves more than such a simple description so lets get in to it I previously mentioned that this series is about cycling and relationships and it certainly is. The plot of Wind Breaker follows a highschooler and avid cyclist named Jay. Throughout the series Jay makes friends and encounters some crazy situations all thanks to his passion for cycling. I dont want to spoil anything that actually goes down in the story this is a general rundown of the starting premise for Wind Breaker however something that should also be mentioned is that the series features a lot of humor. In fact the hilarious humor of Wind Breaker allows the plot time to pace itself resulting in a series that feels relevant and fresh consistently. Ill talk more about the kind of humor featured in the series later. Art plays a surprisingly relevant role in Wind Breaker especially in keeping the feel of the series fresh and trendy. Id argue that this is in large thanks due to the character designs. Characters in Wind Breaker simply look different from each other serving to give them each a sense of individuality whether in the form of hair style or clothing it is certainly effective. With this said characters dont just look different for the sake of looking different their appearance gives an indication on who they are breathing life into characters in a way that isnt over the top nor unnoticeable. The fashion in Wind Breaker is also generally appealing quite a rare thing to see in this medium. The characters.. are awesome Seriously the characters just about make this series what it is. Perhaps my favorite aspect about the characters are that theyre so realistic yet theyre not a generic cutout. Too often in the medium do we get a character that is ONLY a personality trait I feel like this is especially true in sports series thankfully this isnt the case in Wind Breaker. Equally awesome as the characters individually are the characters together theyve got the kind of relationship going on that is the envy of all high schoolers. Wind Breaker has a lot of different characters to like for different reasons and I think thats one of its crowning achievements. Am I enjoying Wind Breaker? At the time of writing this review its ongoing heck yeah I am and im sure that you will to. This series is a bunch of fun thanks to the hilarious character and reference humor especially. It feels like to me that even when the series is at its most serious theres still a lot of enjoyment to be had. Thats not to say that the more serious or dark moments are washed over with humor but in my eyes it seems like Wind Breaker portrays these moments through a lense of hope positivity and potential. Anyway.. Im a big fan of this one. Go ahead and give it a try =D
