The seinen series is a time leap story featuring Takemitchi Hanagaki, who clashes with a biker gang and later joins them as a well-received member.

Takemitchy uses this ability to try and prevent his girlfriend Hinata Tachibana, his girlfriend, from dying in an accident staged in the future-past by Kisaki Tetta.

Summarily, Tokyo Revengers is a thriller, filled with mysteries, misery, romance, leadership, and other potent themes. With the Christmas Showdown Arc scheduled for 2023, fans can look forward to the continuation of the upcoming but promising seinen series.
