Hanagaki Takemichi is the main protagonist of Tokyo Revengers. He works at a rental shop in the modern world, when he is about to be hit by the train in the platform. Due to an accident, he gets an ability to travel back in time. In order to save his girlfriend, Hinata, who is destined to be killed, he tries hard to change past.
Although he is not a good fighter, he has a never-give-up spirit after he decided “not to give up” to change past. Such personality attracts those around him and he is trusted by his buddies.

Who Is Sano Manjiro (Mikey)?

https://otakurepublic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=689230
He is a boy who Takemichi met in the past.
He is a founding member and the leader of the Tokyo Manji Gang with overwhelming charisma and physical strength. While he is the strongest fighter, he is just an average 15-year-old boy who never hits women, cherishes his buddies and easily falls asleep when he becomes full.
(I’m trying to avoid giving you any spoilers but) the ‘relationship’ between Sano Manjiro and Hanagaki Takemichi becomes the most important key in this series, Tokyo Revengers!
Because Hinata gets killed in the modern world because of Tokyo Manji Gang and Mikey is the leader of Tokyo Manji Gang even in the modern world......!
Takemichi travels back to the past and sees the leader of Tokyo Manji Gang, Sano Manjiro, who is going to kill Hinata in the modern world. However, Takemichi finds out that Sano Manjiro, Mikey, is just an average 15-year-old boy who easily falls asleep after he eats, forgives Hinata who slaps him across the face, smiling, and instead, admires her courage, trying to protect someone, and cherishes his buddies, while he has an outstanding fighting ability and charisma. (The best part about Mikey, huh?)
Mikey, on the other hand, is attracted by Takemichi, who never gives up, trying to challenge strong opponents although he is so terrible at fighting. This is how they have made friends with each other.
Then after Takemichi comes back to the modern world from the past, he realizes that not only Hinata but Mikey’s destiny has also changed. In time, Takemichi starts wanting to save Mikey as well as Hinata...... Their relationship is beautiful! This part is going to be the most important element to read Tokyo Revengers......!

Ryuuguuji Ken (Draken) x Sano Manjiro (Mikey)【Dramikey】

https://otakurepublic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=757095
The relationship of the two: A freewheeling Tokyo Manji Gang leader and a very caring sub-leader

Who Is Ryuuguuji Ken (Draken)?

https://otakurepublic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=689234
Ryuuguuji Ken (Draken) is the vice-president and one of the founding members of the Tokyo Manji Gang.
Since he is much taller (than the average boys), he is more powerful. He is so powerful that he can never lose even when he fights against 100 people at a time. He has common sense where ‘the issues that happen in the Gang world, have to be dealt with in the Gang world’. He has the same dream as Mikey, where ‘they create the Gang era (it doesn’t mean they want to be violent but they want to have the Gang era, where they can positively be Gangs, instead of having people think the Gang is lame [uncool]).
They are connected with such a strong bond. Although they sometimes fight, they make up before they notice, trying to listen to and understand each other.
In Episode 5 of anime, Mikey and Draken go visit a girl who has been hospitalized, having been involved with their fighting with another group. Although it was not Mikey and Draken’s faults, Draken feels so responsible, having involved the girl. On the other hand, Mikey has no idea why they have to apologize to her because they never tried to hurt her but...... he ends up understanding Draken’s policy where ‘the issues that happen in the Gang world, have to be dealt with in the Gang world’.
“Don’t involve innocent people.
Don’t make anybody cry.
We don’t need an attitude of apologizing, however, have a ‘spirit’ to feel them.”
If they can’t deal with the issues on their own, innocent people become unhappy. Mikey realizes that that’s not what he wants. Mikey really feels thankful to Draken, who has a way of thinking which Mikey doesn’t.
The relationship of these two will be the most important element in Tokyo Revengers. Takemichi even convinces that Tokyo Manji Gang will never become a crime organization as long as Draken works with Mikey. However, in the modern world, the relationship of these two people is......?

Baji Keisuke x Matsuno Chifuyu【Bajifuyu】

The relationship of the two: the First Division Captain of the Tokyo Manji Gang and a Sub-Captain.

Who is Baji Keisuke?

https://otakurepublic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=689229
Baji Keisuke is the First Division Captain of the Tokyo Manji Gang.
He is also one of the founding members. He is not a smart boy who had to repeat another year at school, although the year was considered as compulsory education. However, he is quick-witted and has a high physical ability. Although he is a little unfriendly, he cherishes his buddies and family. He especially cherishes the original founding members of Tokyo Manji Gang, thinking they are ‘treasure’ for him.

Who Is Matsuno Chifuyu?

https://otakurepublic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=689228
Matsuno Chifuyu is the vice-captain of the First Division of the Tokyo Manji Gang.
He is also a subordinate of Baji Keisuke, trusting him so much. Baji also trusts Matsuno. When Matsuno met Baji Keisuke at their junior high school days, his value and personality changed. He always looks up to Baji who cherishes his buddies.
These two characters have such an important role at the end of anime! It might be a little spoiler but so many people became their fans after watching that part!!
Matsuno Chifuyu was well-known as a Gang when he was a junior high school student. At that time, he met Baji Keisuke, who ‘repeated another year with his terrible academic performance.’ Chifuyu got curious about Keisuke who was writing a letter and showed him how to write Kanji correctly.
Thanks to Chifuyu’s help, Keisuke was able to finish writing a letter. In return, Keisuke helped Chifuyu who was about to lose at fighting.
In that scene, Keisuke told multiple boys who were going to beat Chifuyu that Chifuyu is one of his members and he will beat them all. Chifuyu, in this moment, started to look up to Keisuke, who helped him after helping him with such a little thing...... Chifuyu started wanting to support him due to this incident.
How are they going to be involved with Takemichi at the end of anime? Maybe you should watch that part yourself! He is just as popular as Takemichi and Mikey! You’ll know it!!
