Synopsis

Tokyo Revengers straps a time-travel thriller to a delinquent-gang drama and pulls it off. Takemichi Hanagaki is a broke, spineless twenty-something at rock bottom when he learns his middle-school girlfriend — the only person who ever believed in him — has been killed by a violent gang. Then, inexplicably, he's thrown twelve years into the past, back into his own teenage body, with a chance to change the events that doom her. Saving her means infiltrating the gang and rewriting its future from the inside. Ken Wakui blends the raw, brawling energy of a delinquent manga with the ticking dread of a time loop, where every trip to the past reshuffles a future Takemichi doesn't fully control. Its heart is his growth from a crybaby who gives up into someone willing to bleed for the people he loves. The manga tells the complete story, and the anime adapts its arcs with the same propulsive momentum. Come for the time-travel hook; stay for a surprisingly moving story about second chances and the friends worth fighting for.
