The mangaka shared a new illustration featuring characters such as protagonists Takemichi and Mikey, Ken "Draken" Ryuguji and Tokyo Manji Gang member Chifuyu Matsuno. Along with them, he also added himself drawing these characters with Chifuyu holding up his hand to help him finish drawing Takemichi.
The mangaka's tearful au revoir to the series had fans on Twitter getting emotional.
While there were those who were displeased with the ending of Tokyo Revengers, there were also those who completely supported it.
They were happy that the conclusion brought the entire roster of characters together, alive and well. Each of them were spared the unfortunate fate awaiting them and made it through unscathed.
Fans found comfort in the brilliant story and its memorable host of characters. They voiced their sentiments about Ken Wakui's Tokyo Revengers being their "comfort series" and would hold the characters close to their hearts.
Wakui himself had been rumored to be quite visibly upset after the Bloody Halloween battle. The reason was most likely Keisuke Baji's death, something which came as a shock to the characters and viewers alike.
However, in the new timeline, Baji was alive and unharmed given that the battle of Bloody Halloween never happened. Others such as Seishu and Akane Inui were well, the absence of their burn scars indicating that the house fire in the past did not happen.
Perhaps the biggest of all, Tokyo Revengers' Takemichi managed to save his beloved Hinata Tachibana. The final chapter shows the two lovebirds tying the knot and descending the chapel steps. In attendance were members of the Tokyo Manji Gang, rejoicing and congratulating their comrade.
Every great series has its critics and supporters. Tokyo Revengers is no different. It had its ups and downs, but at the end of the day it served as a great story. It kept its viewers engaged and on their feet with unexpected plot twists. Ken Wakui gave the anime community something to cherish that is a tad bit different from regular series dealing with time travel.
The conclusion to the series looked fair as well, with each of the characters getting their happy ending. What's left now is the anime adaptation. With its first season already on air, Season 2 is set to likely release in the winter of 2023. It is supposed to cover the Black Dragon Arc, also known as the Christmas Showdown Arc.
