Before I can process any of this, I see the fiery explosions of multiple car crashes in the distance, and without thinking, I stomp on the accelerator and race toward the scene. I soon find that I’ve driven straight into hell at full speed with no brakes, just like everyone around me...! In the midst of this insanity, I discover the corpse of a girl, and suddenly I know—I am the brilliant detective. And I must solve the mystery of her death.(Souce: Yen Press)Background_Id:Invaded: #Brake-Broken_ was published in English by Yen Press from February 23, 2021 to November 23, 2021.The manga is a sequel to the Id:Invaded anime. MALxJapan -More than just anime- Characters Reviews Jul 25, 2023 tl;dr: A pretty solid continuation though one that ends on a likely never to be resolved cliffhanger.This manga is a continuation of the Id:Invaded anime that starts with the cast of the first season solving a new case through the use of id wells. The manga very much assumes that you’ve already seen the anime and are familiar with how everything works and who everyone is. It explains things somewhat but it serves more as a refresher than an actual explanation. Even as someone that has watched the anime, I found myself having to look things up because it’s been a while. Thus, you should... only read this manga after watching the anime. And while this manga does advance things, it isn’t all that different from the anime, so your feelings about this manga will very likely be the same as your feelings about the anime.There are a few new characters introduced, but none of them get developed all that well, similarly to how none of cast outside of Akahito got developed all that well in the original anime. I will note however, that while I don’t think the original anime used Koharu very well, this manga does a better job and fleshes her out better both in terms of outside and inside the wells in ways that feels consistent with her character and let her best parts shine through. The manga didn’t really do much with any of the cast other than her though, though it did set up a couple to take in interesting directions in the future.The manga has three volumes that are centered around a single real-world mystery, though it involves three id wells. The first id well was super interesting just as the ones in the anime were. It gets kind of crazy in applying sci-fi concepts, and though it definitely does screw up the science, it screws it up in a way that pretty much all similar sci-fi screws it up so I didn’t really find it an issue. The second and third id wells are incredibly simplistic but it barely spends any time on them so I thought they were fine. The real-world mystery I felt was better than any of the mysteries in the anime, mainly due to how it involved a lot more of the mystery happening in the real world and not just searching for things from the wells in databases. It was also pretty well paced and well written.The thing though, is that it feels like only half the mystery is solved. Similar to the first season with John Walker, there’s a new overarching antagonist set up here. It very much feels like this was going to be a much longer story with a bunch of smaller cases that build up to a larger final case where they finally take on the antagonist. However, this manga contains just the first of those smaller cases. Thus, the story very much feels incomplete and at this point I doubt there’s going to be a continuation that completes it. Thus, the ending of the manga is pretty unsatisfying.The art in the manga is solid but the id wells are a lot less crazy than they are in the anime so the art is never anywhere near as impressive. Character design wise it’s mostly all pretty plain as outside of the id wells as everyone is just wearing suits. Inside the id wells, the returning brilliant detectives still have pretty cool designs, and the new brilliant detectives are a solid addition. Reviewer’s Rating: 7 What did you think of this review?

So I found out that there's a manga version ( and after waiting for some time to be it fully translated I finally got to read it today yay)The manga is a sequel so you're supposed to watch the show first, so if you haven't watched it, stop reading, a give it a... chance (if you have time and want to read something fresh, because I feel like this genre is very rare nowadays)Ok, so for the people who have watched the series, Does this manga answer your questions and give a proper ending to this story? NahI really hope they do announce a sequel Was it good? Yep, the case was interesting. Though I feel like it raised more questions than it answered. The ID well was very thrilling, you could constantly feel the danger. Personally, I've always loved the investigations in Id well more than the ones in reality. There were some beautiful drawn panels with Kaeru chan that left an impression on me. Overall it was a nice short read (it included also a theme that I really like but I don't want to spoil it)It's not anything mindblowing or breathtaking, you can definitely skip it if you want. But if you really liked the show, like I did, give it a shot. Or maybe you can add it to your plan to read and after some time has passed, you can read it just to remind yourself of the series' atmosphere. That's all folks, stay safe :) Reviewer’s Rating: 7 What did you think of this review?

This is also the case with #Brake-broken. I can’t talk about this without spoilers, so if the tag was not enough be warned.This sequel explores characters in ways we didn’t get to in the first instalment. We get to see Hijiriido die for the first time in an id well and the effect it has on Hondomachi’s mental well-being. We also continue to explore Kaeru and Kiki Asuka as a character. This is all delightful, but I prefer it when it is more up to interpretation.My main problem is with Hakaido. Sure,... She gives insight into Inami as a person, but it is done while she is in a coma due to the anime's events. This might not be an issue to some people, but it is to me. Fukuda is also in a coma. Meaning by this logic Anaido can be used again. In my opinion, this undercuts his ending. Because of this, I prefer the more open ending of the anime. Anaido wasn’t brought back, so at least the writer seems to agree with me on that front, but it doesn’t change the fact that the door to Anaido reviving is now open. Despite the insight into Inami, I don’t think it was worth explicitly opening up that possibility.If you want character expansion, this is an ok read, but it might come at the cost of the closure provided by the anime.
