ABLAZE is happy to bring the title to English language readers worldwide. Praised not only for its thrilling artwork depicting amazing martial arts action, but also gripping storyline, The Breaker Omnibus Volume 1 is 400 pages of intense story and art!
The Breaker Omnibus Vol. 1 is my first time reading a Korean graphic novel and I really enjoyed it. The artwork is excellent, especially in the fight scenes, and the characters are fun and engaging. I finished this first volume interested to know what would happen to them next, so I would definitely be keen to read on to volume two in the future. As well as the martial arts side of the story, the piece also looks at issues like high school bullying and teen suicide, so it has some emotional depth alongside the action. I'd intended to read the book over several days, but I ended up finishing it in one as I just couldn't stop reading. This is a 4.5-star read for me.
I received this book as a free eBook ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
