The anime and manga series Tokyo Revengers has become very popular, and noticed, especially after its first season aired. Fans showed great excitement for the early parts of the manga, giving this work a promising path.
With its characters being delinquent gang members, the action was anticipated. Time travel and friendship are major themes that people seem to like. Still, Tokyo Revengers manga wasn’t completely fun to read especially towards the end of its storyline.

This is set to start from the edition on April 15th, 2024 in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. The upcoming project has drawn much attention since fans are still divided over their opinions on Ken Wakui’s story decisions within Tokyo Revengers.
The conclusion of Tokyo Revengers left some people unsatisfied because it didn’t fully explore the backstories of certain characters. For example, fans are still uncertain about Shuji Hanma’s true motivations and reasons for his actions in the story.
Another aspect that seemed problematic was how the time-travel element was handled towards the end. When Mikey seriously hurts Takemichi, both characters go back in time in an attempt to correct mistakes from the past.
How Fans Have Reacted To The News of the Latest Manga by the Creator of Tokyo Revengers
The news about a fresh manga series by the maker of Tokyo Revengers has not been greeted with much enthusiasm. It seems that fans of the previous work are not happy about its conclusion.
Fans have shared a variety of criticisms and worries about this future project. Some people think the creator should not even work on something new.
Plot twist: it's actually a "sequel" to TR, taking place in one of the failed timelines.

Some have guessed that the new series might be a “continuation” of Tokyo Revengers, occurring in one of the story’s unsuccessful timelines. This idea is not fully accepted by all.
People have also expressed that instead of a new story, the mangaka should focus on rewriting the conclusion of Tokyo Revengers.
A suggestion from fans is to fully steer clear of the delinquent genre, signifying that his abilities might be better suited in other areas. Yet, a more cynical view could say that the creator should keep writing delinquent-themed stories because they are likely to sell no matter how good they are, given his own delinquent past.
