Who needs time travel when the solution to everything is gang fights?
Tokyo Revengers is a story with a spectacular premise… that is promptly squandered. That's what makes it so frustrating to read: it entices you with aspects that are truly unique; aspects that give you a glimpse of tremendous potential – and then devolves into run-of-the-mill shonen schlock.
The time-travel mechanic, detailed in the first few chapters, works in a novel way: Takemichi, the protagonist, can only travel exactly 12 years back in time, and from there only exactly 12 years forward again. While he's in the past, time keeps progressing in the present (with him

You don't read stories like this because of their groundbreaking qualities; you read them because they can be so much fun.
*A spoiler free preview* First, I'd like to point out that this is not a story about national socialists. The 卍 symbol in the series' name is a Buddhist symbol, manji. The original character of prosperity and good fortune has also become popular youth slang in Japan with an array of cool meanings, and regardless of its intended meaning in here, Tokyo Manji Revengers makes for one heck of a cool name. Comradeship, bromance and bad blood - that's what gang stories are made of. If you're ...

You could say that this manga is the combination of the delinquents genre and the concept of time travel, all in one: an unlikely combo which end up working beautifully. It is also about friendship, total bromanship, and the thick ties that connect these guys that go through fights and hardship together. Don't just read the manga synopsis and decide not to read this, it is much MUCH deeper than it so implies.
Story: 10/10 Wakui Ken has set in place a very solid story structure within Tokyo Revengers that continues to carry the plot at a steady cadence, never letting it fall into monotony. There ...

Tokyo Revengers is one of those mangas that build up its story so high only to see itself crumble from the author's lack of verisimilitude.
Being a time leap story there are some fundamentals that every reader will be curious about: why is the main character time leaping? How is he doing it? When is he travelling to? Is the present affected by the changes in the past? Most of these questions are answered throughout the arcs and for most of the manga the time leaping is quite consistent and well explained on those fundamental questions. Except for the last arc, we do have learn new ...

Tokyo revengers is interesting. It starts off with an exciting premise; a seemingly naive, innocent guy who has to go back into the past to save his girlfriend. The story that follows as our hero gains courage and makes friendships that he wouldn't otherwise have if not for the time leap are narrated quite compellingly. These friendships and the MC's relationship with his girlfriend in fact form the heart of the story and we understand his desperation, his motivations and the reasoning for decisions he makes as the story progresses. The plot twists in the beginning were convincing, but somewhere in the middle, the author

This is just embarrassing to be honest. Tokyo Revengers was a battle shonen manga with a simple premise, simple characters and simple messages. Thanks to it's simplicity the reader could just lay back and enjoy a simple tale of a man travelling back in time to fix the past which led to his old love dying. Takemitchy along the way had to learn that changing the past is not as easy as it might appear. Sometimes he accomplished his goal in changing a terrible event of the past for the better while other times all he could do was change past events from terrible to

The only Anime I enjoyed so much I couldn't wait for an adaptation and rushed all the remaining chapters till the end in 2 days. EVERY Character in the series has something to offer in terms of story, personality or combat skills. The biggest thing about this story is the heart. i really connect to Hanagaki and I see myself in him. He shows me what i've could been if I were more assertive, If I worked hard enough, if I cared enough to take care of my problems. I see each one of the Tokyo Manji Gang members as some of my childhood friends,

I've read and/or watch so many time travel stories but this one is by far one of the best! Every character is so likeable and has distinct personalities. Takemichi has all the qualities you want in a protagonist. He's not overpowered. He's weak, strong, loyal, devoted, and the list just goes on. I personally love seeing his growth and every characters interactions with each other.
Also, the story revolves around gangs but as the story progresses, its more than gangs. It's about finding happiness. It goes from saving Hina to saving everyone. I love that the author takes his time developing the characters and arcs.

This review is mostly my experience with the manga and what i think about it, so it might have some spoilers.
Among the airing shows in this season we had Tokyo Revengers. A time travel story where the protagonist goes back to the past to save his "beloved one", if you're here you might know the rest. I watched 2 episodes of it and ended up going to the manga. The quotation marks in "beloved one" is there because the protagonist had no reason to love her, Hina. They once dated in middle school, but that's it. Assuming from what the story tell us about when they were ...

started off as a very promising time adventure Shit itself at the end.
Just writing this to remind me how much this angers me, starting off with my favorite character baji what a way ruined the character the sacrifice he made and all planning he did meant absolutely shit at the end, all the things made me love this manga it ruined by the shit ass ending that doesn't even makes sense, I'm angry and would always remember this as the shitty ending rather than the good moments. I'm angry that the character's death I cried makes me stupid now, I'm sad that heartfelt moment and ...

At first, I really liked Tokyo Revengers. Like REALLY. To the point I was reading it weekly. Then I took a few months break because I got a little lazy with staying up to date with the manga. So, out of complete boredom, I decided to reread it and....oh boy was I wrong about this series.
I can't be the only one frustrated with Takemichi's poor decision making and lack of braincells right? It seems his only solution to his problems is to cry constantly. And before you give me the whole argument that he was put in a "very stressful scenerio. Of course he's gonna ...

Its overrated.
The art is good, there are couple of cool characters and the premise is somewhat interesting. That's almost all of the positive stuff that can be said about this series. The story is mediocre at best and its devoid of logic. Apart for few most of the characters are more of a caricature than a character. The plot is repetitive and getting more predictable as the story progress. The MC is a 26 years in a body of 14 years but still have the mental age of 14 years old. He doesn't seem to learn anything from his mistakes and act like a ...

This is my first ever review so I’m sorry if it seems too boring.
Spoiler free review: The Tokyo Revengers anime caught my interest because it is legally available to stream in my country which is a rarity so I decided why not watch it. The first two episodes didn’t hook me in but I continued further. After finishing episode 4 and my interest was piqued so I read the manga. And I’m glad I did. Within 24hrs I blazed through the 200 chapters and I have never been this hooked to a story. Story: 9/10 The story is absolutely filled with twists at every turn and I loved ...

I'm not going to hone in on specific characteristics of the manga like characters/plot/art/etc because there's plenty of that in other reviews here already, but I'm dropping this review as a WARNING to anyone who wants to pick up this manga these days,
DROP THIS MANGA AFTER CHAPTER 194! It's very obvious that the manga wasn't planned to go for this long and is being stretched out bc it sells like hotcakes. The story in chapter 194 reaches a sort of natural endpoint, coming shortly after the biggest arc in the series, Tenjiku. Everything that came after has been torturous to read week after week, ...

I started the anime, it caught my eye as I thought it was good, but when I read the manga, it was okay in the start, but then I realized that the whole manga is the same scenario shit again and again.
the main character needs to separate 2 people so his girlfriend doesn't die, he does that, now something new was the cause that the girl died, then he fixed that, then there is another reason she died, then he got to fix that, and its like that the whole series, it's sad to see because it could have done a lot of things, but ...

the premise of the manga isnt horrible but the mc is unbearable one of the worst ive ever seen. he doesnt do shit to improve himself and acknowledges this but then goes like "well i jus gotta beat this person" like dude u jus admitted how weak n pathetic u are theres no way u stand a chance and hes the biggest fucking crybaby ever despite being like 28 or something n dealing w teenagers lmao. after seeing the same scenario of him crying about how weak he is (and hard to feel bad for him cuz he doesnt try to get stronger or anything

I have never written a review on MAL before because I never felt the need to but this series started off so good and eventually went to complete nonsense so I want to advise people not to waste their time on this like I did. This review only contains indirect spoilers.
I started reading Tokyo revengers spring of 2021 and at first it started off as a very captivating and intriguing story with lots of interesting and enjoyable characters. The plot twists and mysteries kept me at the edge of my seat and I constantly looked forward to the next chapter, the characters were relatable and ...

After spending all day reading the manga of Tokyo Revengers and I reached the current chapters and I feel I should do a little review of everything that the manga has provided me.
Of the works that I am currently reading I think that Tokyo Revengers is one of the ones that most impressed me in terms of "history". I think that after the first episode of the anime, a lot of people must have started reading the manga and that's what I did, I think I don't regret having spent the whole day reading the manga. The proposal to use time travel as one of the elements ...

Oh boy, I got quite a lot to say but I will just keep it short (p.s. this is rushed sorry lol).
Also, English is not my first language, please bare with my mistakes. SPOILER WARNING! 1. Story - 4/10 I will be honest, the concept was good. But the way this entire story is being executed just.. feels so poor. These kids get into fights, beat each others asses, Mikey beats the strong dude with barely any effort, and very often Takemitchy pulls a Naruto and talks people out of something. Except the recent fight, but still, felt repetative how Mikey beats everyones ass again. 2. Art - 5/10 Well, ... |
