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 am, and I also agree that there is a huge nostalgia factor in me continuing to read the story. The issue is that just the latest couple of chapters, the story started to feel like the Part 1 and 2. But imho its still hast a weak story. Hopefully the story develops further. But I think it loosing traction. I am in the latest chapter, and the last "fight" felt so weak. Even in New Waves, the last small fight felt more chaotic and impactful. This fight was so weak, it took place in the middle of nowhere, with no stakes other than Shinwo wanting to fight him and take revenge, and thats it.
