Is the Tokyo Revengers manga finished?
Written and illustrated by Ken Wakui, Tokyo Revengers began serialization in Kōdansha’s Shūkan Shōnen Magazine on March 1, 2017. The first volume was published on May 17, 2017. As of April 15, 2022, twenty-seven volumes have been published. In North America, Kōdansha USA began the digital release of the manga in 2018. Seven Seas Entertainment is planning to release the manga in an omnibus print edition.
On October 28, 2021, a spin-off parody manga written and illustrated by Shinpei Funatsu titled Tōdai Revengers was announced. It began serialization in Kōdansha’s Magazine Pocket on November 3, 2021.7 The story is inspired by the author’s own life, who belonged to a real gang called Black Emperor, which also used the manji 卍 (まんじ) as a logo. The author himself says that his work goes back in time since he does not know how gangs work today and prefers to talk about those from the early 2000s.
In May 2021, it was announced that the series had entered its final arc. At that moment, it was not known when exactly the manga was going to end, but seeing how the arc had been evolving for a year, we assumed that it was closer to its end than not. At that moment, the Tokyo Revengers manga was still ongoing, but that was about to change relatively soon, seeing how it was in its final arc. And we were right.
About a year and a half later, Wakui officially confirmed that the Tokyo Revengers manga would be ending on November 16, 2022, with the publication of the final chapter. And while fans were initially sad to hear it, the underwhelming ending of the manga quickly enraged them and from that perspective, it seems better that the manga is going into the history books.

Is the Tokyo Revengers anime finished?
In June 2020, the newly-opened official website announced that the Tokyo Revengers manga would be getting an anime adaptation very soon. The series is directed by Koichi Hatsumi at studio Liden Films with scripts by Yasuyuki Muto, character designs by Keiko Ōta, sound direction by Satoki Iida, and an original soundtrack composed by Hiroaki Tsutsumi.
It aired on MBS and other Japanese TV channels from April 11, 2021, to September 19, 2021. Crunchyroll owns the simulcast/streaming rights worldwide, except in Asia. Since May 29, 2021, dubbed versions in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German have also been broadcast by the platform. It should be noted that outside Asia, the version broadcast by Crunchyroll is a censored version.
This is due to a misunderstanding of the differences and the resulting confusion between the manji (religious symbol) and the swastika (fascist symbol). The opening credits are “Cry Baby” performed by Official HIGE DANdism, and eill performs the ending song from the series “Koko by iki o sh*te” (ここで息をして). As for the episodes of the first season, they are:
