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 things about time leaping, but the the last arc goes against what was well established alongside those way over 200 chapters.
The story itself is fair, Takemichi goes through some trials in order to overcome his coward nature just to save those he love, and sometimes he goes way over any normal person would, his victories sometimes might feel undeserved, but he will bust his ass trying to get it, so at least it is not delivered in a silver platter to him. His character grows on you and many others in the story too - side characters and antagonists alike -, character development is well distributed amongst side characters and, up to a point, it is quite easy to remember all of them, in later arcs the amount of new characters introduced is too much - considering you are also keeping track of the "old" side characters - and they only appear in a few chapters.
The art style is a bit rough, but each male character has its own characteristics - female characters aren't that common in this manga, so it is fair to explicit what I mean - that will hardly make you confused on who's who, not only that they give off the "delinquent" image that bike gangs have in Japan. The action illustrated on the fights is nice, even though some fights end up being more fiction than reality, still they are well drawn. The scenarios on the other hand are not the centre of attention, I might be misremembering, but I don't recall nothing that stuck with me, other than scenarios that you would see in every slice of life.
In the end, the experience reading Tokyo Revengers is good for the first 200-ish chapters, the final saga with the Three Deities Arc and Kanto Manji Arc doesn't match the quality it has early on, whether by time leap events, new side characters and antagonists or the story itself. Those last two arcs have 71 chapters, I wished the third arc from the last had a better "ending" feel to it - so recommending people to stop there would make more sense and a feeling of closure -, but it has direct connections with the last two arcs, so dropping the manga without reading those arcs will feel like something is missing, still worth a read, even though the out come isn't in pair with the quality of early arcs.
