Wind Breaker chapter 171 recap

Wind Breaker chapter 171, A Happy Gathering, commences with a focus on the male protagonist's room as he is getting frustrated over his friend's visit. While Suou and Nirei visited to check on Sakura's well-being, the other two were just passing the time. As expected, Sakura was living in a bad condition due to which he had to survive on cup noodles.
So, everyone decided to visit the mall to buy basic amenities for the male protagonist. While they were at it, they also brought new clothes for the male protagonist. Sakura also enjoyed his first Frappuccino during a break as the day was getting better with the passing moment.

Suddenly, Kiryu stood up and started acting restless after witnessing a girl. The girl was present with a boy. As the girl left for the washroom, the boy started berating her due to her gullible nature and Sakura's group heard everything. So, to protect the girl, they gave the boy a serious gaze which shook him to his soul. As the girl returned, she introduced herself as Kiryu's older sister.
The boy ran away as the Furin boys accompanied Kiryu's sister. Akari asked Kiryu to introduce her to his friends. As the conversation prolonged, Akari invited the Furin boys to her house as she wanted to learn about the people who befriended her brother.

However, Wind Breaker chapter 172 might start another story because the previous episode was expected to see a duel between Sakura and Kaji. Moreover, the next chapter might also kickstart a new arc.
