Tokyo Revengers Editorial Reviews

A Thrilling Revenge Story Racing Through Past and Future

Tokyo Revengers is an exhilarating youth gang manga with an innovative twist: time travel. Takemichi Hanagaki, a struggling 26-year-old leading a dull and disappointing life, suddenly awakens the power to leap through time when he discovers his middle-school girlfriend has tragically died due to gang violence involving the notorious Tokyo Manji Gang. Determined to rewrite fate, he dives back into the past repeatedly, fighting to save his friends and loved ones from grim futures. The story maintains a rapid pace, packed with unpredictable twists and thrilling conflicts, consistently gripping readers' attention. Expertly portraying the complexities of shifting relationships and the delicate balance between past and present, Tokyo Revengers hooks readers with a strong narrative pull. However, from Manga Index's honest perspective, its soaring popularity—fueled by successful adaptations into anime and live-action movies—unfortunately led the manga past natural stopping points, resulting in repetitive scenarios where readers found themselves repeatedly exclaiming, "Oh no, here comes another undesirable timeline!"

Deep Bonds Among Unforgettable, Vivid Characters

One of the strongest appeals of Tokyo Revengers lies in its vibrant, unforgettable characters and the profound bonds they share. Initially timid and seemingly weak, protagonist Takemichi steadily evolves into a courageous figure driven by loyalty and love. His constant struggle and determination to protect those he cares about inspire deep empathy, compelling readers to root passionately for his success. Additionally, characters like Mikey, the charismatic leader of Tokyo Manji Gang, and his fiercely loyal right-hand man Draken, add depth to the story through their compelling, relatable struggles and friendships. Their experiences with loyalty, betrayal, and moral dilemmas enrich the manga's emotionally charged narrative.
