The good points have already been shared, so as a warning to those who dislike the following troupes, I'll just leave behind the most succinct review I can on the most glaring problems that becomes sheer exhausting by C250:
1) The power system is broken. Tokyo Revengers operates on the belief that one's innate power cannot be changed. Nobody in this manga does anything to 'become stronger'. Our protagonist, a known weakling, never trains. To put simply, none of the characters here level up, and the fights usually fall back on a simple stat match. Then, there is our protag, who relies on guts to tough it out.
2) Repetitive use of 180 twists right when our protag wraps up with an arc. It's fine the first 2 times around. But audiences get used to that level of stimulation, and the author will have to up the ante, which is fine for the next 2 turns. Then, you realize there's still another 100+ chapters to go. Won't say much more. These repetitive 'Surprises' overstay their welcome. By C200, I'm just praying for someone to put an end to Tokyo Revengers. Was this in shounen jump, and did shounen jump do another 'bleach' or 'death note' on us?
3) The plot armour here is beyond thick. Honestly, at least give the protag a super power to explain his durability. He's taken a hundred punches from 'monsters' aka. super humans without being knocked out by now. Even a nickname from his younger days, like 'Iron Man, infallible and tough' will do.
Hope this helps anyone who want to avoid these troupes.
