Breaks Volume 1: Graphic Novel by Emma Vieceli, Malin Ryden (Paperback)

Breaks Volume 1 by Emma Vieceli and Malin Ryden introduces the story of Cortland Hunt and Ian Tanner, two young men navigating the pressures of school, personal struggles, and uncertain futures.

Cortland knows he has made serious mistakes. Now he waits quietly, expecting the consequences to eventually catch up with him. The weight of those choices follows him, shaping how he moves through his daily life and how he sees himself.

Ian appears far more relaxed. He drifts through life with an easygoing attitude, rarely showing the anger that simmers beneath the surface. While he tries to ignore the tension building around him, school politics and complicated relationships begin to push him into situations he can no longer avoid.

As their lives become increasingly difficult to manage, Cortland and Ian find themselves drawn toward each other. What starts as a connection formed through shared circumstances slowly grows into something deeper. In a world where pressure and expectations surround them, the bond they form becomes one of the few places where they feel understood.

Breaks explores the uncertainty of growing up and the struggle to understand who you are and who you might become. Through moments of tension, vulnerability, and quiet connection, the story follows two young men discovering that even imperfect relationships can offer comfort, understanding, and the possibility of something more.
