It’s October 27 in Japan, which means it’s Ren Kaji’s birthday! Although he doesn’t exhibit a sweet exterior in the WIND BREAKER anime, his sweet tooth usually occupied by a lollipop is instead sated by cake in a brand-new illustration provided by Violet Evergarden character designer Akiko Takase.
The second season of WIND BREAKER is set to begin airing in April 2025.

Based on the manga by Satoru Nii, Toshifumi Akai (Fate/Grand Order Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia) directs the WIND BREAKER anime at studio CloverWorks, with series composition by Hiroshi Seko (Chainsaw Man), character designs by Taishi Kawakami and music by Ryo Takahashi (SK8 the Infinity).
Crunchyroll streams the first season in a range of subs and dubs, describing the story like so:
Welcome to Furin High School, an institution infamous for its population of brawny brutes who solve every conflict with a show of strength. Some of the students even formed a group, Bofurin, which protects the town. Haruka Sakura, a first-year student who moved in from out of town, is only interested in one thing: fighting his way to the top.
