Code:Breaker

Code:Breaker (stylized as CØDE:BREAKER) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Akimine Kamijyo. It was serialized in Kodansha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Magazine from June 2008 to July 2013, with its chapters collected in 26 tankōbon volumes. It tells the story of a high school girl named Sakura Sakurakōji who is trained in martial arts and a male transfer student with mysterious powers named Rei Ōgami. The manga was licensed in North America by Del Rey Manga; only the first two volumes were released.

A 13-episode anime television series adaptation produced by Kinema Citrus was broadcast from October to December 2012. The series was licensed by Funimation, which produced an English dub in 2014. The series has since been licensed by Crunchyroll, following its merge with Funimation in 2021.

Plot

Riding the bus one day, Sakura Sakurakōji looks out the window to see people being burned alive with a blue fire as a boy her age remains unharmed and stands over the people. When she goes back to the site the next day, there are no corpses or evidence of any kind of murder, just a small fire. When Sakura goes to class, she discovers the new transfer student is the same boy she saw the day before. Sakura soon learns that he is Rei Ōgami, the sixth "Code: Breaker," a special type of assassin with a strange ability and a member of a secret organization that serves the government.
