Chapter 160 of Wind Breaker, titled “Melting Snow,”began with Tomiyama and Togame making their way to Sakura, commending her for her role in rescuing Bofurin from recent troubles. Not long after, Tomiyama encountered representatives from Ropponichiza and Gravel, eager to meet with the leader of Shishitoren.

The excitement among the three groups sparked curiosity, particularly for Nirei, who was astounded to see former rivals teaming up with Bofurin. Meanwhile, Kouta and Hiiragi found themselves in an awkward position at the party, each hoping the other would initiate conversation.

Kouta took the initiative by offering Hiiragi a drink while getting one for himself, to which Hiiragi was taken aback by his new formal demeanor, recalling past instances when Kouta had been overly reactive. Amused, Kouta chuckled at Hiiragi’s contemplative expression before revealing that he almost left Shishitoren after their defeat against Furin.

Following that setback, Shishitoren’s cohesion faltered as members squabbled over petty disagreements. However, thanks to the encouragement from some younger members, the gang managed to stay intact, allowing Kouta to find his place within Shishitoren. He went on to express that his previous grudges against Hiiragi were purely personal.

Although these underclassmen haven’t been at the forefront of battles, their contributions were vital for the team’s success. Thus, chapter 161 may delve into their experiences, showcasing the recognition they deserve.
