Six days ago, during a fan event in Chiba, it was confirmed that the Television Anime adaptation of Ken Wakui’s Yanki Science-Fiction-Themed Thriller, Tokyo Revengers would be getting another sequel. But, in a surprise twist, there was also a TV Anime Mini-Series teased involving a Fairy Tale-themed spin-off.
During the fan event, we also got a new trailer to accompany the big announcement, the biggest moments and battles from the first two seasons, leading up to Takemichi and Mikey in the Teaser Visual. Other than the third season being in production, there was no other information on a release date.
A mini anime spin-off was announced Dōwa Revengers (Fairy Tale Revengers). You guessed it, fairy tale stories with a Tokyo Revengers Premise to them. The first episode will be about the Japanese Folktale, Momotarō.
Tokyo Revengers was first serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine in March 2017 and ended in November 2022. The manga consisted of 278 chapters that were collected into 31 tankōbon volumes. It inspired two manga spin-off titles, an anime adaptation, a Live-Action Film adaption, and two stage plays. The first two seasons are available on Hulu, and the first season is on Blu-ray. Also, Tokyo Revengers is available to read on Kodansha’s KManga website/app.
Watching the news, Takemichi Hanagaki learns that his girlfriend from way back in middle school, Hinata Tachibana, has died. The only girlfriend he ever had was just killed by a villainous group known as the Tokyo Manji Gang. He lives in a crappy apartment with thin walls, and his six-years-younger boss treats him like an idiot. Plus, he’s a complete and total virgin… At the height of his rock-bottom life, he suddenly time-leaps 12 years back to his middle school days! To save Hinata, and change the life he spent running away, the hopeless part-timer Takemichi must aim for the top of Kanto’s most sinister delinquent gang!
