The Breaker Manga: A Closer Look

For those of you that haven't heard about The Breaker, I highly recommend checking it out. The manga consists of magnificent art and the main storyline/plot can lure in many people of different interests. Particularly, it consists of Shōnen-like themes and fights.

Here is my attempt at the plot:

Shin Woon, a weak high school student, is constantly being beaten to a pulp by an arrogant bully named Chang Ho. One day, a strange new teacher by the name of Chun Woo (Sunsengnim) is appointed in his homeroom. Shin-Woo learns that Chun Woo (Sunsengnim) has incredible fighting techniques and uses a special power called Ki (Chi). He makes a vow that he will protect himself and his friend (girlfriend) Sae Hie (Saehee) from threats and begs Chun Woo (Sunsengnim) to train him, but his request is declined. Later, it is confirmed in the Manga that Chun Woo is a secret killer known as Gumunryong (Goomoonryong). "Gumunryong is a title given to a person who has mastered nine different techniques." As a highly advanced and experienced fighter, part of Gumunryong's mission is to get revenge in regards to his master's death. There are lots of other characters that get introduced in the story as it progresses.

The Breaker does not include of an Anime series, but it's likely that it will come out with one after some time. The Manga for The Breaker is currently on-going and fairly new, so don't expect an Anime any time soon.
