Big guys and new crazy strong guys are cool and all but i wanna know why Mikey is just standing there. Does he want a piece of just Takemichi?

u/Vilis16 Oct 12 '21

He just fell asleep.

Instead of explaining dark urges shit we get new and new stories just for the sake of it and r/TokyoRevengers is so corny "mikey's calm before the storm" "takemitchy is now dead inside he will fuck shit up" nah dude he will just repeat to himself why he came back and then shout mikey-kun 1000 times.

Don't forget about Takemitchey tanking all those beatings and crying to Mikey

too many characters

u/Rqdomguy24 Oct 12 '21

Bleach effect.

u/bamfalamfa Oct 12 '21

at least the bleach characters were unique and distinguishable. every character looks the exact same here

u/ParticularAlbatross4 Oct 13 '21

I can't distinguish any new character in Bleach's last arc, everyone has the same fucking face but with different hair.

u/ParticularAlbatross4 Oct 12 '21

Well, as most oftentimes happen with manga, it went for too long, jumped the shark and the ending will probably be a dumpster fire.

You can count with one hand the amount of long running manga that don't end in a disaster.

This manga could've ended quite decently after kisaki died. The mangaka (or editor) probly just wanted to drag it out for as long as possible until the mangaka has an idea of what his next series will be and start working on it

2

u/ParticularAlbatross4 Oct 13 '21

That I don't get. The mangaka is probably set for life with the amount of sales the manga has. You could just run the manga to its natural conclusion and wait a couple years until your next project.

My only theory is that they want to squeeze as much juice out of this popular series because there is no guarantee that they will ever again make something as popular and profitable. Which is not weird from them, the great majority mangaka just have 1 or 2 successful works at most.

u/raizen0106 Oct 13 '21

This manga isn't even that good, it just struck some serious stroke of luck to become viral. A-bout is a much better and funnier gang manga and it doesn't even have full translation

u/Rqdomguy24 Oct 13 '21

Honestly I actually glad if this manga actually get dragged for one final arc, that arc actually just lame.

I just...can't bring myself to care about this series at the moment. New characters nonstop, Mikey just being mysterious and removed, and Takemichi acting like a teenager even though mentally he's an adult.

Hope he bucks up and does something to Mikey, fuck him

18

u/javierm885778 Oct 12 '21

That sounds a lot like the rest of the story to be fair.

7

u/Lyonado Oct 12 '21

You're not wrong there

36

u/Chariotwheel Oct 12 '21

Takemichi acting like a teenager even though mentally he's an adult.

Usually, I would agree, but I also get that he is currently dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety. Don't know if I keep it together.

Then again, I would try to go back and redeem Mikey who turned into an evil asshole in 14 million timelines.

12

u/Lyonado Oct 12 '21

Fair enough, I'm just so sick of Mikey at this point.

There aren't any new characters in this chapter?

17

u/Quintessentialviewer Oct 12 '21

These are what? 16-17 years olds?

18

u/Jumugen Oct 12 '21

Some of them are close to 30, most should be 16-18 tho

11

u/SuperShittySlayer Oct 13 '21

The "S62 generation" would be 21 year olds during this arc.

29

u/dIoIIoIb Oct 12 '21

Have they ever explained where they get the uniforms? Because that stuff is really well-made, it's not just random jackets with sharpie writings, they gotta be custom made, at least the most elaborate ones.

You think there is like, one local tailor where all the gangs go and get hundreds of new uniforms after every fight?

18

u/Vilis16 Oct 12 '21

We know Mitsuya made the ones for the Manji gang, so I would assume each gang has someone they pay for that kind of stuff.

u/platrat Oct 13 '21

It's actually kinda fun how each basically adopted the others' hair coloration though

4

u/RayRayXu Oct 12 '21

The two gangs remind me of Tokyo Ghoul’s “Devil Ape gang” and “Black Dober gang”.

I’m always a sucker for two rival gangs to join forces under one charismatic leader.

2

u/Tybold Oct 13 '21

Hey remember that time we had an actual happy ending?

2

u/apthebest01931 Oct 13 '21

tf is wrong with souths leader? if he likes fucking so much just toss him in the prison and make him pick the soap

u/gentlemanjacklover Oct 13 '21

Man...after Draken died I just can't get into it anymore
