I know this series gets some slack, but I actually enjoy how lighthearted it is! Considering how angsty Tokyo Revengers , it's great to see some of the characters act like teenagers and fool around. Though I'm sure we're going to get some heartbreak once we learn more about . For now, the story is really fun and I'm looking forward to reading more!

“Tokyo Manji Gang. A well-known and much-feared gang. The first division captain, Baji Keisuke. He’s the coolest guy I’ve ever met. And before I knew it I found myself chasing after him. I felt great. The thing is. I’ll remember this day for the rest of my life.”


After the, quite honestly, disappointing ending of the main Tokyo Revengers manga getting to have this spin-off manga is nothing but delightful and fun.

Baji and Chifuyu's friendship is one of the most heartwarming and interesting friendships of the series and getting to see it from the start, knowing how it'll end, it's so bittersweet, yes, but exactly what I wanted since the moment we first saw them interact together.

Functionally, Chifuyu is our protagonist and, oh my god, he's a lovable idiot. His too earnest and persistent manner brings him into all sorts of shenanigans but they are also quite admirable and end up giving him good results.

I was, however, suffering from a terrible bout of secondhand embarrassment quite a lot in this volume.

“Of a very interesting kind [Chifuyu] it’s the opposite of me. He’s an idiot but he’s also an honest man.”


One of my favorite surprises has been the character of Sato Ryusei who is a total troublemaker but seems like he'll be a lot of fun.

His rivalry with Chifuyu is nothing but entertaining and I just want to see them become like brothers soon enough, as I think they have all the potential to be if not exactly close but care about each other a lot.

So, yeah, this has been a really fun read and I hope it doesn't end too soon.

“Matsuno Chifuyu, 12 years old. I have followed the path of delinquency with all my soul. I can proudly say that it was the right path for me. But in the process of living like this… I overlooked a lot of shit on the road. Although it’s even important not to cause any trouble for Baji-san I still don’t understand what is a ‘normal’ hairstyle!!! But even so, I want to follow Baji-san and I want to learn about his way of life as close as possible. What kind of hairstyle should I have?”

Vengo del anime de Tokyo Revengers y no podía perderme esta historia. Me ha gustado mucho el inicio de la relación entre Chifuyu y Baji. Pero si tengo que destacar una cosa por encima de ellos, es la presentación de Ryusei. Me ha parecido un personaje muy interesante, con un sentido del humor graciosisimo y unos matices que darán de qué hablar en los siguientes tomos. Me tiene intrigada y el final de este tomo me ha dejado con ganas de más. Maravilloso.

PD. Entre los nombres del gato, me quedo claramente con Ronaldinho. JA, JA, JA. 🖤

C'est une bonne imitation, mais on sent que ce n'est pas du Ken Wakui, que ce soit dans les dessins de baston, dans la personnalité de Chifuyu ou dans la profondeur de l'histoire.

Depuis les premiers tomes de Tokyo Revengers, je suis fan du personnage de Chifuyu. Même si on avait déjà des éléments de son passé dans la série principale, ainsi que sa rencontre avec Baji, j'ai été ravie de découvrir le premier tome de ce spin-off officiel imaginé par Ken Wakui, mais dessiné par un autre mangaka.

J'ai passé un super moment avec ce premier tome. J'ai aimé en apprendre plus sur ces deux personnages et découvrir l'ancien Chifuyu, et comment il est devenu ce qu'il est dans Tokyo Revengers. C'était très prenant, en tout cas pour moi. Je lui trouve d'ailleurs un air de Takemichi avec sa naïveté des plus amusantes. Quant aux dessins, il n'y a rien à y redire, c'est très fidèle à l'original et je suis déjà impatiente de lire la suite.

Ce spin off je l’attendais avec une telle impatience! Je suis très fan de Tokyo Revengers, j’adore l’univers mais surtout les différents personnages. Chifuyu est un de mes personnages préférés, son amitié avec Baji était celle que je préférais également. Je ne me suis toujours pas remise de la mort de Baji je dois bien l’avouer, je suis clairement dans un déni profond le concernant.. Alors forcément, un spin off sur ces deux là? Je prends direct. J’avais hâte de découvrir ce premier tome et je n’ai pas été déçue le moins du monde. C’était vraiment excellent à lire, c’est un vrai coup de coeur pour moi et je suis déjà impatiente de découvrir le second tome!

Dans ce premier tome, le capitaine adjoint Chifuyu Matsuno, qui a perdu Keisuke Baji, le capitaine de la 1ère division dans un conflit avec Valhalla, ne peut toujours pas accepter sa mort. À ce moment-là, il reçoit une lettre de l’endroit où il habitait.

J’ai tellement aimé ce premier tome! Comme je le dis juste au dessus, Chifuyu est un de mes personnages préférés de Tokyo Revengers et son amitié avec Baji également. Alors forcément découvrir bien plus en détails comment ils se sont connus, comment Chifuyu a intégré le Toman et j’en passe, c’est super plaisant. Chifuyu au début me fait tellement rire, j’ai tellement de mal à me dire qu’à ce moment là il a douze ans quoi! Il me fait tellement rire à vouloir se battre avec tout le monde. Par contre, j’adore voir la joie sur son visage quand il fait la connaissance de Baji, on voit que cette rencontre a changé beaucoup de choses en lui et voir un si joli sourire sur son visage c’est tellement beau. Chifuyu au début on voit vraiment que tout le gonfle, tout le soûle mais tout change une fois qu’il rencontre Baji et qu’il va tout faire pour faire parti du Toman. On ne pourra jamais lui reprocher son manque d’implication en tout cas, parce que vu tout ce qu’il fait pour pouvoir y rentrer, ça force l’admiration. J’avais oublié que Baji prenait cet air de premier de la classe au début! La tête que ça lui fait vraiment ça me tue de rire. Ça fait tellement bizarre de le voir comme ça en plus. Sa mère m’a fait tellement rire aussi, la relation qu’elle a avec son fils est vraiment trop drôle!

Dans ce tome on a une bonne dose de baston, tout ce que j’aime pour le coup! J’aime tellement ce manga pour ça d’ailleurs! Enfin pas uniquement pour la bagarre hein mais le côté gang comme ici, c’est vraiment quelque chose que j’adore! Il me tarde déjà de découvrir ce que va nous réserver le second tome en tout cas. Avec une fin pareille, je sais déjà que ça va être tout bonnement incroyable!

*There is a brief spoiler for at the beginning of my review*
If you haven't read the first 14 volumes of Tokyo Revengers don't read this review.



This story takes place after Keisuke Baji died during the fight against Kazutora.
It starts off with Chifuyu visiting Baji's grave when Baji's mother appears and gives Chifuyu a letter left to him.
The rest of the volume recounts events that lead up to Chifuyu becoming friends with Baji in middle school.
The main series showed a few of these scenes around volumes 7-9 but this mini series shows more details of Chifuyu and Baji's meeting and friendship along with introducing a little backstory on the previous vice president of Baji's squad,Sato Ryusei.
This story arc was entertaining but it some of Chifuyu's actions were a little too much.
In this version of Chifuyu Matsuno he is a diehard fan of Keisuke Baji till the point of it giving me second hand embarrassment.
Chifuyu has become a complete goofball and Baji fanboy in this version of himself.
Every other scene is of him doing something silly or socially awkward in efforts to become acknowledged by Baji or protect him from Sato.
It's almost painful to witness.
What happened to the cool guy of the original series?
He is a little too silly in this version.
It makes sense why he and Takemichi became such good friends in the original series:
They are both very overwhelmingly enthusiastic about who they look up to,very passionate about their goals and loyal.

The story is by Ken Wakui and the art by Yukinori Natsukawaguchi. Please understand that this is a spinoff of the main story and so if you want even further context, the original is needed to fully enjoy the series. With that said, this is an ambitious and better spin-off then most, or at least it is beginning this way. I believe you get a taste of characters that did not receive enough spotlight in the main series and are getting their time in the sun now with this series. Good solid stuff and the beginning of this series is looking very promising.

So I accidentally read this, not the first volume of the regular run of the manga. This is a side story and doesn't have a lot of the elements that are most exciting from the main run, best as I can understand it at least. This manga tells the story of how a couple main gang characters get to know each other and join together and kick lots of butt together. I didn't care for it much, but it was good Japanese practice.

We basically knew about their childhood friendships. As boring a cash-grab as I figured. Cute to see all the pudgy scrappy kids, the designer starting in the home-ec club, and the black cat not drawn too realistic at least.

I didn't pick this one up as soon as I got it because I was a little bit afraid it would be sad, but it ended up being a lot more goofy than I expected. I'm not sure how many volumes make up this spin off, but it's basically the story of how Chifuyu ends up in Toman after meeting Baji.
