Description
Sakurakouji Sakura is a girl who appears modest and graceful but in reality is skilled in martial arts. After witnessing a boy burning people with his blue flame, she is startled to see that the same boy is a transfer student, Oogami Rei. Oogami is a Code Breaker, one who "does not exist". He is a seemingly cold-blooded killer who follows the principle of "an eye for an eye", to "use evil against evil". Convinced that killing is not right, Sakurakouji sets out to stop him and penetrate his icy heart.

| Just like Samurai Deeper Kyo by jackblack901 on January 20th, 2010, 7:23pm |

This is a totally different manga but it has all the the good point and bad point of his previous manga SDK.
Awesome art and fighting scene. It has one of the most important point for a good shounen.
Fine plot w/ twist moments and good humor.
A board and nice settings of characters.
But the 2 main characters is so dense. The same things happened in SDK, most ppl end up prefer all those side characters. Besides, I don't know why, maybe it's the plot or the story telling, but this manga got some drama but it failed in building up emotion. I don't mean this manga is bad, it has an awesome art and fighting that's even a par of those top shounen. But the shallow in the main characters and emotional make it failed behind.

| Surprisingly interesting and funny by Celianna on November 24th, 2009, 2:21pm |

I didn't know much about Code: Breakers than what the description tells us, which is also very misleading. Sakura, the main girl, is definitely not good in martial arts, however she's not a person to mess with either.
Sakura is just a simple high-school girl, until she sees Ogami exterminating a bunch of people with blue fire. Later on we find out that he is a Code: Breaker (number 6), and works for an organization that makes him kill 'evil' people. Code: breakers are people with a special ability, Ogami's ability is a blue flame which burns everything to well .. nothing, but he likes to say 'burn to ashes'. Sakura doesn't want him to kill people, she believes that there are other ways to change evil people's minds (and she preaches this A LOT throughout the entire manga). Ogami was about to kill Sakura but finds out that he can't, Sakura is a 'rare-kind', one who can dispel any ability from any code: breaker.
The story had a nice set-up within the first few chapters, but it moves on from that story plot and introduces a lot more code: breakers, adds in a bunch of comedy, and it generally tries to figure out what KIND of story it wants to be. So the beginning is very serious, then it's pretty funny without much plot, and then it finally gains some ground and we get something that resembles a plot.
Code: Breaker is funny and while it seems to lose its way throughout the middle, the characters are interesting and funny. Some might say Sakura is annoying, but I find her much of an improvement compared to the ditzy and air-headed heroines that plague all kinds of manga. Sakura isn't ditzy, she knows what's going on, and she sticks with her ideals. Slowly, she changes Ogami's views - and there might even be a possibility of romance between them. She's not always the damsel in distress, she seems to handle herself just fine when she's pushed to use her rare-kind's ability. In fact, she saved 4 code: breakers all on her own!
Ogami is very much like Light from Death Note, because he really just kills people on a whim (much to Sakura's dismay). Although he does show signs of extreme embarrassment in later chapters, unlike the always cool and collected Light. With Sakura nagging him and hanging around him all day long, he slowly changes a bit. He doesn't realize it, but he's grown very much attached to Sakura and wants to protect her. Because of this, he wants to become stronger, so that he won't just watch and see Sakura get hurt by the person he hates most. Despite Sakura's nagging not to kill, he still goes and kills people on a whim - if he can that is.
All the other code: breakers are funny and interesting too. Despite the fact that they're supposed to be all emo and stuff because they kill people, they seem like regular young teenagers that are having fun with each other most of the time. Of course, that changes in the later parts of the manga because it's finally continuing its plot.
Anyways, Code: Breaker is funny and interesting, and while it doesn't seem to have much of a direction in the beginning, it'll get better. Just keep reading!

| No. 1 Manga for Me. by YamiKuro on November 23rd, 2009, 7:00am |

I find the story very nice! I even find its plot nicer than Naruto's. I have been chasing this manga since last year August. It's been a year now. It became my official No. 1 ever since its I read it. I even scream in class when I know the manga's out. I really LOVE the characters and I really hope that the ending will be romantic, in terms of Ogami and Sakura XD. So I agree to oraclegirl. Isn't it too fast that you all gave up reading this. I just read the newest chapter -67 on last thursday (on Chinese website XD) and it rocks, despite the cliffhanger. I find it touching also.
So an advise: Don't give up!

| I got bored.... by SHInoSHIkamaru on October 6th, 2009, 8:53pm |

I stopped at chapter 16, and after reading the comments I'm glad I did. I was already bored with it. And as people said repetitive, I thought so too, and that was by chapter 16.

Good premise, seemed very interesting at the start, but the way the story was executed wasn't the best it could be.
The main character is said to be a strong martial artist in the beginning, but she just turns out to be your typical damsel in distress with stupid ideals and obviously retarded repeated actions.
Throughout the story, she learns ever so slightly more about this mysterious guy, and then is continuously surrounded by new bishes.
I dropped it there.

I've read so far 55 chapters + 56 and I've got to tell you that the manga starts to get intressting from that point when the real enemies appear.. apart from that chapter 56 was really intressting and I think it's going to be better from now on. The beginning is a bit boring and fun but if you read further you will see character developement. looking forward to next chapter. training for oogami hee..

| Disappointing by Kevadu on August 21st, 2009, 11:25pm |

I wanted to like this series. I really did...
While the premise was a tad generic there was a lot going for it. It has great art and characters who seemed like they would be interesting. There was at least the potential for some interesting story developments. But after a reasonable start the story starts wandering off in weird directions and never really finds its footing again.
The plot jumps around without any direction. The manga switches between gag mode and serious story mode so rapidly and often it makes it hard to appreciate either. The timing is just off. The characters are never really developed beyond their initial archetypes. The villians are extremely cliche. And as the manga goes own and more and more characters are added to the cast it seems like the author just can't figure out what he wants to *do* with them...
In the end I have to conclude that this manga isn't very good.
