With a mixture of Time-travelling and a Gangster setting, Tokyo Revengers really stands out in the modern-day anime community even though it's against other amazing mangas such as One-Piece.

Tokyo Revengers is rising the ranks and among international anime fans but it may have already found its niche in Japan. The manga is already outselling major mangas such as One-piece and Attack on Titan.

The manga is currently one of the best-selling titles in Japan, ranking alongside such mega-hits as Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer. Based on facts from Oricon's half-year rankings for the year, Its immense sales mean that the manga is on its way to the top and no one is stopping it.

Combining Sci-fi with the somewhat grand world of gangster manga, Tokyo Revengers truly makes itself known to new-anime watchers and anime-watchers in general.

The sense of originality makes it a manga that anyone would want to read and with the currently airing anime adaptation, Sales can only go up from here 😎.

The manga finally found its footing in the world of Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine.

Tokyo Revengers success over One-piece

Plot

Tokyo revengers show us the life of Hanagaki Takemitchy, a 26 loser whose friends are killed by a local gang. When Takemichi is murdered, he winds up in his past life where he is still a 12-year-old boy. Upon returning to the present, he and his friend's brother, Naoto, discover that Takemichi can now travel through time, and hope to use the ability to save Naoto's sister. Likewise, they run afoul of local Japanese delinquent gangs, whose actions become even more violent the more Takemichi travels.

The series was created by Ken Wakui and began in 2017. Though it's gone under the radar for quite a while, it's now become quite popular in Japan, resulting in the anime adaptation this year.

The sales of the collected manga volumes have also shot up through the roof, making the book one of 2021's best-selling manga so far in the country -- ranking in Oricon's top five, while the almighty One Piece did not. In fact, Tokyo Revengers has sold over five million units so far this year, while One Piece has only sold slightly over one million. One Piece, despite its reputation, isn't untouchable, but is there more to the success being had by Wakui's gangster sci-fi story than just a dip in popularity for Eiichiro Oda's epic?

What makes Tokyo Revengers a best-selling Manga?

We could just say it is successful due to it being a new genre of manga, but Tokyo Revengers there is more to it than that. though; especially for it to be beating One Piece, of all books (ONE-PIECE LIKE SERIOUSLY!!!).

Some of what Tokyo Revengers does so well is derived both from what it is and what it isn't.

The blend of science fiction elements makes the anime just seem so unique especially for new anime followers who are just looking for a good anime to watch.

The time-traveling aspect is so well done and doesn't cause confusion or make you think so much, it's pretty basic and simple.

It's is a huge breath of fresh air within the current shonen landscape, itself starved for more grounded and realistic books.

Though pure battle shonen manga is not as widespread in the genre as they once were, Shonen Jump still hosts several outlandish and fantastical books, just like the rapid increase in the isekai genre.

(So true)

Tokyo Revengers' more realistic plot points also evoke the gangster and delinquent manga genres, both of which have been particularly glossed over in recent decades, owing to the rise in popularity of battle shonen, which features increasingly exaggerated and unrealistic characters, concepts, and circumstances.

This, at one point, made street-level manga seem old-hat, but with the manga delinquent more scarce than ever, what once was old is now new again.

It might explain why it was crowned Best Shonen in Kodansha's 2020 Manga Awards, as the infusion of genres makes the action in Tokyo Revengers more exciting than most -- it's not yet another situation involving endless power-ups and ridiculous attacks. The still airing anime will likely result in only more exposure for the manga as the year goes on. Tokyo Revengers may be one time-travel and fistfight away from taking even more of the spotlight away from more shonen stalwarts.

Conclusion

Tokyo Revengers may be rising in the ranks, but that doesn't mean that it is loved by everyone.

Different people love different things and that's just how the world is, In different anime communities, you see people being Toxic about the growth of Tokyo Revengers.

Pointing out that the only reason people love it is because of Mikey and fellow Manji gang members, While this may be true because"I also watch it because of Mikey " Tokyo Revengers has been in the dark for some years, I think the author and manga deserve this because it truly has an original and different feeling from other mangas.

Please watch the anime because it is a really good anime and i am sure you would like it, just give it time.

I hope people understand this and stop being toxic about the growth of Tokyo Revengers.
