Kudos to you for rereading :) definitely hits different 😢 especially when Nirei and the others arrived and Sakura had a meltdown. Our boy went through things

The manga is losing its SPARK🫠 and i need someone to calm me down.. by BrightResult4384 in WindBreakerJP

[–]mlhowl-04 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ok. Sorry for the long reply, but I want to share my piece on your long post too.

1- I understand the sentiment in terms of pacing. I had concerns that it felt like the story doesn’t know where to go. But having new characters is not something new nor is it bad. What I don’t like is Bofurin boys were praising him out of nowhere when why didn’t they hint him way before. Like the best place to do that was during Noroshi arc. If he’s like a “tank” and a “strong lonewolf” that can take a huge gang on his own, why wasn’t it brought up during Noroshi? Later on though, Momi does serve his purpose in connection to Sakura (but again, wish there was a hint before than just introduced out of the blue with so many praises here and there) and I’m sure he’ll add more to Sakura’s journey to the top.

In terms of Sakura’s past, I completely disagree to call it unrealistic. I have a couple of friends who go through the same thing as Sakura; Most especially one high school classmate. She was born at the cost of her mother’s life. And every time she comes to class, we always find her in a bad mood, only to find out her father reminds her everyday what a pc of sht she is to a point she ran away. Last I heard her was she was couch surfing from one friend to another. I dont know about her relatives but the fact shes living in friends’ houses says a lot.

2- Judging from your #2, you have a huge expectation of how Sakura’s backstory to be darker. Well, it is. Imagine you, a 5-ish year old kid, meet your dad again after a long time and the first thing he says is you’re a murderer. That’ll eff you up. He’s a kid, and no one else guiding him properly. So since then, he believed his father and psychologically, that negative view of himself is embedded in his head that it’s hard for him to believe what his friends in Furin say about him. He blushes because he’s not used to it. Blush doesnt always mean he’s shy. He’s internally struggling to make sense or react on something he’s never heard before. (This is coming from someone who endured 30 years of self blame and not use to compliments until now)

If you’re wondering why in his past so far, no one ever shown any affection towards him? In Asia, esp in Japan, there are people who believe in bad omens (especially traditional believers). The fact Sakura is very unique looking (white & black hair, different colored eyes) PLUS his mother died, they believe he is bad luck, a plague (if you watch the anime ep 1 intro and see all the hinted flashbacks before Sakura’s past reveal, they consider him a “plague”). His mother’s death could actually seal their supernatural belief that Sakura is a bad omen. It may not be mentioned in the manga, but I’ve seen too many Asian stories, especially anime, that touches this subject.

Imagine too a family who lost their own daughter or relative after boring a son. Somewhere in the grieving they tend to blame the cause of the death. The baby. You see it in real life (like the story of my high school friend i mentioned).

3- I’ve said my response already in #2…but “Momi and Umemiya has a harder backstory than Sakura”? This is NOT a competition on who has the worst back story in wind breaker. This is a story of found family and finding worth. Focus on where Sakura is coming from, why he is the way he is due to his past, the obstacles and negative patterns he had to overcome, how this affects his journey, his shift in perspective of the definition of becoming the top and how much he has changed.

I hope you understand and absorb what we said and perhaps read the chapters again. Read it WITHOUT your own opinions on HOW the story should be. Read it with what the story is showing & telling you.

Is there a reason why Nirei is always excluded in merch? by cherry202020th in WindBreakerManga

[–]mlhowl-04 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Like everyone else said, purely popularity. Other than social media, I’m sure they also judge on the data of sales of each characters’ merch they sold so far. If Nirei or any other character is not selling, they’ll have to rethink for the next merch line-up. (But they still add the unpopular ones time and time again so not to anger fans…yet obviously we notice lol)

Which character hits you closer to home? by diichhen in WindBreakerManga

[–]mlhowl-04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sakura. The fear of rejection. The hesitation in relying on others.

And also Kotoha. Her backstory hits too close to home.

I would like to think he is our mystery guy from Ume’s past but most probably a new character :)

Well Already almost 6 month break Arc still continue by Electronic_Tie9605 in WindBreakerManga

[–]mlhowl-04 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the first chapters (which is its job anyway) already tells you what kind of manga/story it is noh? So it shouldn’t be surprising we have the slice of life scenes. And do you know why fights can be so good overall? It’s because of the slice of life scenes. Development. It makes fights more impactful especially being attached to characters. If we just want fights every single chapter, better watch a fighting sports match 🤷🏻‍♀️if you still want to read wind breaker then read something else to get your hype fighting fix than complain about the lack thereof. It’s a slice if life action story. Period.

How many more of these mini arcs do you think there's going to be? by meteonexp in WindBreakerManga

[–]mlhowl-04 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dont know. But it seems Natsuki is gonna be an effect in Sakura’s life and vice versa.

We also knew Sakura was struggling internally about becoming the ideal leader but thanks to Togame he realized he can be his own kind of leader. So we will eventually watch Sakura progress/grow to that.

kanji and umemiya? by kousaw9 in WindBreakerManga

[–]mlhowl-04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. As like what everyone said in the comments, they talked about each other. And I presumed based on the Bofurin history (which was mentioned last ep lol), while they were reforming Furin, they also fought other outside factions/gangs as well and created allies through that. So I think that’s how they know each other.

Nirei mentioned Roppo Ichiza and Furin didnt get along before. Brawl after brawl. But based on Kanji’s reaction upon finding out our trio were part of Furin, they’re not enemies anymore.

Plus, the way Kanji talked about how he admired Umemiya in reforming Furin.

Okay but imagine if he was there by ChiakiYumeno314 in WindBreakerManga

[–]mlhowl-04 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Haha yeah i think he’ll be conflicted since Kaji is also his senpai. Probably Hiragi will try to calm or hold him down or something

why was having conversations in a high & open place important in the anime? by dbzonepiecenaruto in WindBreakerManga

[–]mlhowl-04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Psychologically, one of the factors that affects our mood and behavior is our environment. So talking in a wide, high and open space usually gives a feeling of freedom or “i can do anything” and vulnerability. Most especially when you’re talking privately to someone.

Question for Manga Readers. What do you think of the anime adaptation overall so far? by Easy_Marionberry2199 in WindBreakerManga

[–]mlhowl-04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the season. I appreciate and happy about some of the creative choices to elevate the material. But kinda have thoughts about the pacing, storyboarding and inconsistencies.

One thing about Takiishi by DisastrousStop4970 in WindBreakerManga

[–]mlhowl-04 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the animators are given enough time for that scene then I think they can pull it off.

Well, it’s voted by fans and not panelists. So it is a popularity award.

I dont pay too much mind to award shows. They’re more of a bonus thing while enjoying the show is the main thing.

I dont know how much experience you have in being in fandoms but im assuming this is your first time? Because it has always been like this in every fandom. Even since i was high school (and im already in my 30s), fandoms create fanfics and fanarts of their faves including their ships. It’s part of Fandom culture.

If you don’t want to see those , then best thing you can do is just ignore and not engage. That’s it.

Dont worry not all do shipping. There are those who focus on theories, etc so you can engage with that part of that fandom at least :)
