The highly-anticipated Tokyo Revengers TV anime will premiere in Japan on April 10. News of the anime adaptation first surfaced back in June 2020. In addition to the anime, WB Japan is also set to release a live-action adaptation in 2021 following a delay from the film's original October 2020 release date.
The manga series draws a lot of interesting parallels to the similarly-themed Erased (Boku dake ga Inai Machi) as both series feature protagonists who travel back in time into their younger bodies to prevent a tragedy from occurring.
The latest update on the anime has also revealed that 22-year old Japanese solo artist eill will sing the ED, titled "Koko de Iki o Shite" (Take a Breath Here).
To date, 21 volumes have been released in the ongoing series. The first volume of the series is available to read online for free, courtesy of Kodansha Comics.
