Tokyo卍Revengers
Toukyou 卍 Revengers
Watching the news, Takemichi Hanagaki learns that his girlfriend from way back in middle school, Hinata Tachibana, has died. The only girlfriend he ever had was just killed by a villainous group known as the Tokyo Manji Gang. He lives in a crappy apartment with thin walls, and his six-years-younger boss treats him like an idiot. Plus, he’s a complete and total virgin… At the height of his rock-bottom life, he suddenly time-leaps 12 years back to his middle school days!! To save Hinata, and change the life he spent running away, hopeless part-timer Takemichi must aim for the top of Kanto’s most sinister delinquent gang!! *Source: Kodansha Comics, Vol. 1* --- **Notes:** - The original Japanese title contains the manji symbol, so it will not be removed from the title on MangaDex. - Addendum on the "Manji" for those uninformed. From Seven Seas' Omnibus Edition: *"In East Asia the manji (卍) is an ancient religious symbol of power and good fortune for many different countries and religions around the world, including Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, and a number of Indo-European and Native American religions as well."* *"The specific meaning of the symbol varies by nation and religion, and also by the position of the "arms" of the cross--whether they face left or right, or whether the cross is tilted or straight."* *"In the 1930s, the swastika symbol--a clockwise, tilted cross--was adopted by the Nazi Political Party in Germany, and gained a negative reputation as a symbol of hatred in the modern world."* *"The manji used by the Tokyo Manji Gang as their emblem is intended to be the ancient Buddhist symbol, as evidenced by the appearance of its counterclockwise, straight arms..."* --- **Links:** - [Official English Translation (Seven Seas)](https://sevenseasentertainment.com/series/tokyo-revengers-omnibus) - [Official English Translation (Kodansha USA)](https://kodansha.us/series/tokyo-revengers)
