Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Tokyo Revengers earns its spot. The plotting gives Tokyo Revengers its backbone, but it is the characters you come back for. Takemichi Hanagaki is a freelancer that’s reached the absolute pits of despair in his life. He finds out that the only girlfriend he ever had, in middle school, Hinata Tachibana, had been killed by the ruthless Tokyo Manji Gang. The day after hearing about her death, he’s standing on the station platform and ends up being pushed over onto the tracks by a herd of people. The writing gets a boost from Yuuki Shin and Azumi Waki, who sell every scene they're in. Tokyo Revengers premiered in 2021–2023. What makes Tokyo Revengers hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

For anyone who wants their crime drama to earn its twists, Tokyo Revengers delivers. If you have already watched Yu Yu Hakusho, Tokyo Revengers is a natural next step. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Yuuki Shin carries scenes that would sink a lesser production. The resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary, which is rarer than it sounds.
