This volume is so precious!! I love seeing how their friendships are growing and that Sakura can't escape being their bestie. Mitsuki and Kaji are also super fun new characters

Das Ende von der ersten Staffel ist hier *hibbel*. Oh ich liebe einfach alle Chars aus der Schule so sehr. Ich kanns nicht erwarten, dass sie Keel im nächsten Band die Fresse polieren.

I usually am not a fan of shounen mangas and only started it 'cause we have it in my library but RAHHH the story is so good i love how the stakes are low just enough to not feel like a typical shounen and high enough to keep me on my toes. I LOVE all the characters i swear i just want to open the wind breaker wiki and spend my time reading about them but i don't wanna spoil myself (me not wanting to spoil myself? rare). Sakura is such a cool tsundere i'm rooting for him so much. There's just one more volume left in the library so i'll have to finish the series online :(

I'm so darn proud of Sakura here. Not only were his skills acknowledged, he was also chosen by his entire class. He came to Furin to be recognized. Only a few days/ weeks have passed since class started, and he's already achieving that goal.

lmao i knew it was a cat as soon as she said risa was missing😹
I really didn't expect Kaji to have this short-tempered personality. I thought he was a more calm and quiet type. It's surprising, but refreshing. Ren Kaji welcome to my wind Breaker bf list 😩🔥

Tbh to have someone like Nirei in your team is damn amazing. He will literally be the intel guy in the group where in gans and groups like this is mega needed. And of course Suo which is obvious he is good at forcing people to spit out the truth. This team will be amazing.

I honestly love how slow they are with sakura's character development!! it perfectly shows how hard it is for some people (like me) who just don't know how to open up to people and let them in.... He started to behave less shy but more confident and i'm sure he will get better and better. And i like that it didn't take 100+ chapters for this development and in the same time the few chapters that showed his growth didn't seems forced either. Also i love our mc so much he's just so cute😭

Suo knows how to manipulate Sugihita to force them to come with them XD. NOW LET'S GO AND BEAT THE HELL OUTTA THOSE FKRS (⁠⌐⁠■�-⁠■�)

So this is where the anime ended as well.
I love how the anime sticks with the manga as well.
Sakura now being the leader of the 1st year students but still in denial with how he enjoys the company of his fellow students.

I love that no matter how much he denies it, he will always help someone in need.

I spent this entire volume being proud of Sakura. He's such a shy guy and I'm glad the guys are bringing him out of his shell.

Hmm the themes in this seem to be a little repeatative, Sakura blushing when anyone says anything, people giving them food and a school that doesn't even pretend to have teachers...

Hostia m'ha encantat aquest cinquè volum. No només veiem més del dia a dia del Fûrin i com es divideix la banda sinó que hem conegut els quatre reis celestials i l'Umemiya ha tingut els seus moments estel·lars i a més hem conegut un dels delegats de segon any que tindrà un paper fonamental en el proper volum. Els propers capítols prometen molt.

Breve presentación de nuevos personajes (a cada cual más guay e interesante) con un buen desarrollo del protagonista y un panel final espectacular de cara al siguiente tomo.

J’enchaîne les tomes mais il ne m’en reste déjà plus qu’un seul à lire.. Alors pouvoir enchaîner comme ça les uns après les autres c’est bien mais en même temps après tu te retrouves sans rien et surtout, tu te retrouves à devoir attendre de te procurer la suite. Et ça c’est si cruel. À chaque fin de lecture je me dis vivement que je me plonge dans la suite, ça va tellement vite à dévorer en plus! On ne voit vraiment pas les tomes défiler. C’est toujours aussi passionnant, voir de plus en plus même, on découvre toujours plus de personnages etc. Bref, c’est un manga fascinant.

Dans ce cinquième tome, après le combat contre les Lion Head, une nouvelle vie commence pour Haruka Sakura au lycée Fûrin. Il va y faire la connaissance des élèves des classes supérieures et notamment des délégués, c’est-à-dire les chefs de classe. Des rencontres qui vont l’amener à voir les choses sous un nouvel angle. Mais un élève du lycée a un comportement pour le moins étrange et semble cacher quelque chose. Face à la menace des Keel, une bande à la très mauvaise réputation, Sakura et ses camarades décident d’agir !

Evidemment, sans aucune surprise, j’ai plus qu’aimé ma lecture. Ce tome était excellent du début jusqu’� la fin. J’ai encore beaucoup rigolé d’ailleurs. Sasuke me fait toujours beaucoup rire malgré lui. Déjà il a du mal à comprendre le fonctionnement de la bande mais en plus il a toujours cet air grognon qui me fait bien rire. Il a tellement de mal à nouer des relations avec autres en vérité.. J’ai adoré son comportement dans ce tome. Il a été élu délégué, pour son plus grand bonheur d’ailleurs, et mine de rien il va montrer ici qu’on peut vraiment compter sur lui. La façon qu’il a eu de garder un oeil sur Anzaï, c’était limite beau je trouve! Mais c’est surtout de voir l’unité qu’ils forment tous ensemble. Un des leurs a des problèmes ou ne va pas bien? Tu peux compter sur tout le monde pour te venir en aide. Quand je vois cette fin, j’ai tellement hâte de me jeter sur le prochain tome parce que là, ça va être explosif carrément! J’ai beaucoup aimé découvrir Kaji, c’est un personnage assez mystérieux et qui a un drôle de comportement mais j’adore! J’espère que l’on aura l’occasion d’en apprendre un peu plus sur lui, je le trouve si intéressant!

Ce manga ne cesse de se hisser un peu plus à chaque tome dans le top de mes mangas préférés. Dès les premières pages du premier tome j’étais déjà à fond mais plus j’avance dans la découverte des tomes et plus je deviens vraiment dingue de ce manga! Il est absolument génial! que ce soit l’intrigue, les personnages, l’ambiance, l’humour et j’en passe, tout est absolument parfait dans ce manga!

ch 33
who are all these gang ppl beefing with 16 year olds and never learning their lesson that furin WILL beat you up like it's nothing.
suo "i am chill". he has such a smooth fighting skill i love it.
i'm surprised sakura even HAS a phone bc where's he getting that money from.

ch 34
apparently in the japanese sakura only types in hiragana bc no one ever taught him kanji. add that to the fact he's never even texted anyone before and types like at a rate of 1 word per minute? the kid is depressing.
kaji ur hilarious

ch 35
1. i've watched enough anime to know that risa is def a cat and not a child
2. sakura blush count like #100 and i eat it up every time

ch 36
i hate harping on and on about how cool a shounen mc is but not sakura hoping up a wall to catch a cat
i might just go back and keep a sakura blush counter bc he rly do be doing it all the time at any sign of warmth or kindness

ch 37
i come from an endochika future and so kotoha saying that calling someone by their name means ur seeing them for who they are hits different.
kotoha saying he's scared to get close to anyone and then silently cheering him on she's the best <3 i'd rly love it if we had one female character who could fight she'd go crazy
nirei finally coming in handy by memorizing the entire school that's wild

ch 38
finally the four kings!
not sugishita working as umemiya's personal gardener. again, he's grown on me and now i find his grumpy demeanor endearing.
sakura, to KEEL: can i help you?? like... do we got a problem?? (i'm always trying to find a way to bring tiktok audios into my life)

ch 39
sakura: everyone has secrets they don't wanna talk about
every reader: give me ur secrets child
we all want to know his backstory

ch 40
here i am grasping at straws of every girl in this manga. like i get it's a boy gang thing but still. it'd be nice to see women more often.
sakura trying to comfort her by saying he's just gonna drag nakato back is so funny.

ch 41
nagato slapping anzai's hand out of the way... gagged.
i won't stop talking about how funny sugishita is.

and that wraps up season 1 and volume 5. suprisingly the whole teacher school thing hasn't bothered me at all now that i'm past ch 10. my brain has accepted this as a power of friendship story and a how much can we beat each other up to heal each other story.

Tengo varias cosas a comentar. Estoy adorando la historia, los personajes cada vez me enamoran más, y me encanta aprender cosas sobre ellos.
A veces tengo un poco de problema para acordarme de tantos nombres, pero espero que con el tiempo se me vayan quedando mejor 😅.

Este volumen comienza con una pelea entre los delincuentes que se metieron con la chica rescatada por Kiryu. Al principio no sabía muy bien de qué palo iba Kiryu, pero he podido ver que se ha unido al grupo a la perfección (y me cae genial). Me encanta su estilo (y que tenga el pelo rosa>>>>).

Me ha hecho muchísima ilusión cuando se han pasado números de teléfono y han creado un grupito entre ellos. Ver cómo chatean, los stickers que usan y las respuestas entre ellos me parece una faceta monísima. Soy super fan de las respuestas de Tsugeira😭😭.

Más adelante, al escoger a un capitán de clase era bastante de lógica que iba a salir Sakura como elegido. Y me ha encantado el detalle de que haya sido Suo quien lo haya propuesto, pero que además todos los compañeros de clase hayan sido tan entusiastas con la idea. Parece una clase malísima dios mío, quien pudiera tener una así (y mira que en teoría son delincuentes😭).
También me gusta mucho lo overthinker y tímido que es Sakura con todo. Se nota que se preocupa por ser un buen líder, porque está todo el rato pensando en qué es lo que debería hacer y trata de ayudar al resto siempre que puede. Además, tiene en cuenta lo que le aconsejan sus amigos. Me parece un personaje que, aunque por fuera se hace el duro, en verdad es una masita.

En cuanto a Kaji, el líder de la clase de 2do, me ha costado entender sus motivos (como a Sakura, básicamente). Y creo que todavía hay bastante por ver de este personaje, por eso de momento no sé exactamente qué opinar de él.
Pero me ha hecho mucha gracia que lo que se le hubiese perdido a la anciana fuera un gato, y ver a todo el instituto persiguiendo a UN GATO EN PLAN JAJAJDJSHDJ.

En cuanto a la trama relacionada con Nagato y Anzai, tengo ganas de ver cómo continúa la historia (y de ver a Suo peleando sisoypidoperdon 😞).

Still enjoying this over-the-top fighting manga🤗 The fights are nice and efficient, without the drawn out battles and endless flashbacks you get from some series. I really like that the guys are mostly all good hearted and supportive of each other. It’s a very united school…bough I’m not sure I’ve seen any teachers or classes going on yet 🤣 it’s also nice that Sakura is learning that other people aren’t necessarily perfect leaders, they do what they can with the help of those lifting them up.

Sakura is elected class 1 leader without his agreement, and he is feeling his way into leadership and what it means to him. He has the support of a great group of classmates, and is slowly integrating into the class. Chasing cats and all out brawls make you closer, of course! I’m not always a fan of shonen series but I love the few that have this type of camaraderie.

At some point we’ll have to find out what makes Sakura so wary of forming connections. I’m guessing acceptance of his differences (his dual colored hair and eyes for example) wasn’t in his experience.

I was hopeful, but to be honest I didn't expect to like this series as much as I do.

In this volume Sakura gets to experience some time at school with his new classmates, and he learns that his class will need to nominate a class captain. He also gets to meet the Four Kings, and learns that one of his classmates is getting beat up by a rival gang, even though he's lying about it to the guys at school. Sakura's classmates look up to him, for the first time in his life, and he finds himself in a situation where he wants to help his classmate who is too afraid to ask anyone to back him up.

Episode 2 of the anime is available today, and I can't wait to watch it tonight. I really enjoyed the first one.

“I don’t know what could’ve happened� � I just…want to pull him out…of that hell hole!�

This volume was a nice break from the last arc before we hop back into the next one. It was nice to learn more about Sakura’s classmates and how Furin High is structured.

As always, the best moments are seeing how Sakura interacts with his friends. (My baby’s first group chat! He’s growing up so fast!) You can also see how his view of what a leader should do, and what sort of person becomes the top of the school, is already starting to change. Who would’ve thought a delinquent manga would show you the value of community so eloquently?

so delightful to see sakura's rapid emotional development, more accepting, getting softer around the edges. i'm usually not a fan of shonen mc, but sakura? he hits my tender spot. i like to know about him more or reading all his panels. he was drawn and written with love, i can see he'd slowly pick up his friends' little habits, gather and collect them and turn it all into sakura's own mannerism. this is pretty much a fast-paced one and it suits he manga so well.
another character's detail i noticed is, suo is very attentive and perceptive. he OBSERVED, and precisely put two and two together. what a splendid personality, his character compelled me.

Sakura meets two more of his classmates and gets to know them in the best way: fighting side-by-side in a street brawl. Then they exchange numbers and we find out Sakura can't keep up with text chat.

But next it's time for the class representative class leader election and a crash course in exactly how that works when it comes to Bofurin. And to be 100% honest, it's actually good advise for anyone who wants or needs to be a leader. Plus there's hardcore parkour.

Cada dia m'agrada més aquesta sèrie � Tot l'elenc de personatges que se'ns va presentant és entranyable i anem descobrint la seva personalitat i la motivació per estar a la banda a mesura que s'enfronten als diferents reptes. Menció especial a les carones tímides del Sakura, que contrasten amb la seva faceta més batussera :3 Cliffhanger com ja ens tenen habituats i previsiblement baralla de les fortes al següent volum! No em cansaré de repetir que el senyor traductor Victor Gomà em sembla un GENI, les seves traduccions són formidables �

beginning was a little slow...I did like the little bit of character exploration we did with the second year class lead, but personally I felt like it could've been done in half the time. this series does best when it really leans into the over-the-top, dramatic, action-packed sequences, and the last half gets us started again on a new arc! can't wait to see sakura leading his class in their first mission to protect/help one of their own

If you don't feel like reading from the beginning, I suggest starting with this volume if you watched the anime adaptation first.

In this volume, Sakura is elected as class captain and chooses to help out a classmate after this classmate's girl childhood friend tells Sakura her history with two of her friends. Aside from that, Sakura gets to know Kaji and meets the Four Kings of Bofurin.

Overall, this volume did well with concluding one story arc and preparing us for the next story arc.

"Everyone has a secret or two they don't wanna talk about."

"He's probably scared to get close to anyone."

I desperately want to know more about Sakura and his backstory. He only has the weather as his contact...no mention of his parents? Where are they? Did they abandon him?

Kotoha seems to understand Sakura on a deeper level also.

Anyway, Kaji is an interesting new character. And Sakura blushing and getting flustered over texting people is so adorable.

Part of me thinks this series is so ridiculous, but then some aspect of it sucks me in, and keeps me reading. It's kind of stupid with all the fighting, and no one getting any form of proper education. No adults stepping in to make sure that these kids are learning anything. Then we get Sakura learning about feelings, and grappling with being a good guy and wanting to do what's right, and I'm in it again.

I hope we get to see the heavenly kings in action well the other 3 at least. It’s an interesting character development for Sakura and I like how he is starting to see that that town and people are different and treat him like a person and not a delinquent.

Madre mía. They just keep getting better and better. I wouldn't give it five stars, but only because it's not a genre I'm fully invested in. The plot, though, is soo immersive.
I can't wait to read the next one!
