The Breaker: New Waves review

So, the Breaker Part 2. I binged the first one and this one in a week. That alone should tell you it is good. But it annoyed me a lot as well. Let's get into things:

Story (8): The story is well written, suspenseful, intense, dramatic, and overall well done. But it only gets a 8, because I didn't enjoy the story it told. To elaborate, Breaker 1 was fun action and drama, and really intense. But New Waves forgot to include one of those: the fun.

The main character grows as a character, beats villains, and occasionally you get a good rush of fun from a villain getting punched... but it almost completely lacks the comedy and all the light hearted elements that made the first one so great. Instead, it wears down on you with constant tragedy, cliffhangers, and dark tones. I entered it expecting to have a fun time... but by the end, while I still wanted more, I left more tense than I entered the story. Their is no resolution, just constant buildup.

Overall, the story was 10/10 for writing, 10/10 for immersion, 10/10 for making me want to continue... but a mere 6/10 for actual enjoyment.

Art (10): Art is great, and unlike many action mangas, it manages to convey the motion fairly well, and you can picture how the scenes would look as an anime. Very good, perfect score from me.

Characters (8): The characters are more complex than in the Breaker 1, but they lose some interest when all humor is stripped from them. Everything is serious and dark, and that leads to a drop in how much I like the characters. It's hard to like people who have no fun in their lives.

Enjoyment (6): Pretty much as I said in Story. I didn't enjoy this, really. I put a 6, because it kept me reading, and I didn't leave it hating the author. But man, it is dreary.

Overall (8): Great story, great art, good characters, but completely dreary and draining.
