The Tokyo Revengers Manga Is Ending Soon
Mangaka Ken Makui's Tokyo Revengers series first appeared in Kodansha's Weekly ShÅnen Magazine in March 2017. The publisher recently announced that the manga's final chapter will feature in the Nov. 16 issue of the magazine. The narrative focuses on Takemichi Hanagaki, an unemployed 26-year-old with profound regrets. However, he gets the opportunity to fix his past mistakes when he is transported back in time to his high school years. Utilizing his knowledge of the future and having the primary goal of saving the life of his childhood sweetheart, Hinata Tachibana, Takemichi infiltrates the Tokyo Manji Gang.
Since its release, Tokyo Revengers has performed well with critics; the manga won the shÅnen category at the Kodansha Manga Award in 2020 and placed 9th on Da Vinci magazine's "Book of the Year" list in 2021. Moreover, fans from around the world have purchased over 65 million copies of the series, making Tokyo Revengers Kodansha's most profitable manga since Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan.
Chi no Halloween -Unmei- and Chi no Halloween -Kessen- aren't the only pieces of Tokyo Revengers media slated for release next year. Most notably, Tokyo Revengers: Christmas Showdown, the second season of the anime by Liden Films (Saiyuki Reload: Zeroin), will premiere sometime in January. The new season will adapt the story arc of the same name from Wakui's manga and introduce several new characters, including Inui Seisyu, voiced by Beyblade Burst​​​​​​'s Junya Enoki, and Kokonoi Hajime, played by Kingdom's Natsuki Hanae. Also, Yūki Shin (Edens Zero) and Azumi Waki (I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level) have reprised their leading role as Takemichi and Hinata, respectively.
Chi no Halloween -Unmei- will premiere next spring, while Chi no Halloween -Kessen- will debut in summer 2023. The Tokyo Revengers manga is available on MangaPlaza and viewers can find the first season of Liden Films' adaptation of Wakui's story on Crunchyroll.
