Tokyo revengers.
Tokyo revengers is one of the best anime series that I have watched in 2021 so far, along with a few other anime series.
Heres a short brief about Tokyo revengers, the story is based on Takemichi, a 26 year old young man that is currently living an unhappy life, with a low paying job, as he continues to live his life, he hears of the tragic news of his ex-girlfriend, Hinata, that has died of a gruesome death, Hinata’s death is orchestrated by the hands of the Tokyo Manji gang.
On the same day after hearing the tragic news, Takemichi gets pushed onto the train tracks, with the train nearly about to take his life.
Takemichi ends up time traveling 12 years back into the past, just watch the anime is all I’m gonna say! It’s amazing.
I’m going to be completely honest, I was kind of scared to watch Tokyo revengers after watching episode one, I feel like the anime has a kind of an eerie vibe to it and some of the content in Tokyo revengers is very mature, but at the same time its mild.
Maybe it’s because the author Ken Wakui was an ex-gang member of a biker gang in Japan, so I’m just wondering if he’s basing the characters, of the Tokyo revengers series from his experiences and memories of his past in the manga series (anime) and wishing he could’ve saved the people that were close to him, and also wishing to change the past, I do question if some of the characters are based on his friendships from his ex-biker gang days?
After a week of pep talking myself to watch Tokyo revengers, I watched it and it had me at WOW and also in tears.
Tokyo revengers as a series is not the typical anime / manga series with the main character receiving supernatural abilities, and has to save the world and become a hero to everyone and whatnot, Tokyo revengers is different.
Instead, this anime has a twist and it’s something that is more relatable to us as an audience, because Tokyo revengers has a huge pinch of our reality involved in it, and this singular character Takemichi, that doesn’t have any super powers, and isn’t strong physically, is doing everything he can to save everyone in the past, so that the future may change.
Tokyo revengers is more popular than Jujitsu Kaisen and attack on titan!
Wow I know right! Tokyo revengers first kicked off in April 2021 and it has already surpassed JJK (Jujitsu Kaisen) as the best anime of the year, and JJK came out in October 3rd, 2020.
Data research shows that google trends, Tokyo revengers has gained a massive jump from the last two months, with popularity levels of beating JJK in terms of popularity worldwide.
Tokyo revengers has already succeeded to out shine everyone in the anime entertainment industry.
Not only the Tokyo revengers anime season 1 is popular right now, but also the Manga series of Tokyo revengers is amazing, there’s a lot of spoilers because season one has finished, and season 2 hasn’t been animated yet, don’t worry I’m not going to do any spoilers! Wink, wink.
But I am going to say is that if you do read the manga series, you might cry, because I did, let’s say that life took a YEET!
my reaction after reading chapter 223 and 244 of the manga: “that did not just happen!”

Ken Wakui YEETING us manga readers.
In a new unpredictable direction, which will make you wonder where is the manga series heading, and what future beholds the characters that we get attached to, and also the storyline and plot are heading in a direction that we as manga readers might not like, because the damage has been done, but can it be fixed is the question.
