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 it. There were multiple times when I went wtf after something was revealed in the story. It makes you grow attached to each of the characters, and certainly can make you cry. As someone who rarely gets emotional over manga there were moments where I was crying over the story. If there was one issue I had with the story it would only be that sometimes I wished that the characters were high schoolers and not middle school characters because they seem a bit too OP for 14/15 yr olds but that’s my personal thought.
Art:9/10
The art is absolutely well done and i feel this was one part where the anime wasn’t up to the mark. Each of the character designs were so unique and well thought out, and reflect their personalities.
Characters: 10/10
I don’t want to say too much but my opinions on various characters did change throughout the story. The in depth flashbacks really make every character stand out and help make the cast very diverse in motives and actions making the story a joyful ride and rarely dull.
Enjoyment: 10/10
I definitely enjoyed this to the point I could barely put it down.
Overall: 9.5/10 or 10/10
The series is certainly worth reading, esp if you like gang stories or time travel type stories with multiple twists and very well done characters.
