Shit just got serious in the last 10 or so chapters.
I don't understand why this Manga isn't more popular. It's more mature than other manga and has a better story. There are a lot less plot holes than the big hitters, to boot.
Anyway, it is a "fighting" manga, very similar to Veritas in that a street fighter is taken under the wing of a powerful fighter and shown how to fight with some uber techniques that transcend human capability. Well, it is also similar to Tenjou Tenge.
I recomend this to any manga fan as it's a good read. Up to 63 chapters, as of this post.
It's a decent comic, but the fact that it aims for a mature audience is more of a hindrance than anything else. Most adults don't read comics. It's more common to socialize with coworkers after work, or spend time with their wife and children when they get home than it is to read comics.
The estimated target audience is 16 - 20 years, in which case people are old enough to use the internet rather than spend three times the money you'd spend on a regular manga for a volume of Berserk. The fact that it's out of genre and is more like a comic than a "manga" doesn't help it either.
The art might be better than in Bleach and Naruto, but it takes Kentaro Miura over a month to release a chapter (the chapter prevous to the recent one was released over four months after the chapter preceding it). So you can't expect the same details put into the characters and background from manga being published weekly.
Well, those two, along with One Piece, are the most popular manga. I'm more or less trying to share my interests with the people here so they can have new adventures.
Yes, definitely. In some ways its better, in some ways, it's not. Overall, it has a similar feel.
I don't really agree with that. It's more or less my personal tastes, likeing a manga or manhwa that most people wouldn't. If that's what you were implying, then, yeah, we agree.
Yeah, I definitely meant "The Breaker."
And, I like the art in The Breaker more than I like that art in Berserk, actually. Well, sometimes. There is some really great art in Berserk and sometimes it's bland.
And for Berserk...I'd say that majority of the audience is over 20. Teens started reading it and it has been going on for so long that they are old, now. Such as me: I'm 27.
I also have a wife and kids...but i still have time to read manga and manhwa.
Yes, he has power-level of over 9000, now. I was also wondering when he'd get that cast off....seemed like he had it for far too long.
Yeah, this. Onemanga listed it as a manga, which is wrong.

The main character has to work for his power...even though it was basically handed to him. So it's not quite like a Naruto.
I think that this is one of the reasons I like the series so much: the main character has to bust his butt, for many moons. It's not like Naruto creating above S-Class techniques in 2 weeks and mastering Sage Jutsus in 2 weeks...this dude almost gets beat to death, many times, just to get better. (Similar to Naruto in that aspect...but it's still slow going.)
Spoiler! You can read it as it won't really ruin everything:
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: The other main character (the sensei) eventually gets so good that he can beat down anyone, even with a broken arm. The main character being awesome is established early on, so it shouldn't be a surprise that he's whoopin' butt towards the end there.
Yeah, I've been reading New Waves for a while now.
I enjoy the artwork in The Breaker and New Waves better than any other big Manga out there. Mostly because it is much higher quality than most of the other stuff.
The story is decent.
I wonder how our main character is going to get his Ki center repaired?
It's a bit weird how he can super rapidly heal himself. It tells me that despite the fact that his Ki center is shattered, there are after effects of that ki ball (I forget what they call it) he ate is still affecting him. I want to see him slowly repair his Ki center and shoke the Muriam (sp?) world.
Everyone should stop reading Naruto and start reading this manwha because it's better.
Completely forgot those plots you just mentioned, may have to read it from the start to reacquaint myself with whats going on. On the bad side it means reading all 70ish chapters again. On the good side.. it means reading all 70ish chapters again
Yeah, of all of the low-key 'mangas' this has to be one of the best. Best Ive seen at least. Even above several high-key ones.

It is pretty good, (other main character dude is ossum) but is there only one scanlation/translation out there for Breaker? Scans look shitty.

Try reading them on mangareader. That's where I read it.
There was legal battle out there that had them fighting over fan translation: the author/artist thought the manwha was being translated and sold (idiot) and did not understand that fans are doing this for free for other fans in the West.
Thanks. It's the same translation, but the scans look a little better on mangareader, than they do on mangafox.
Heh. It all turned out good anyway, since the translations did not stop.

On another note, some of the names are really hard to remember. But that's prolly coz some of the characters appear sparsely in chapters, while having some fairly long-ass similar looking names.
