Author Ken Wakui acknowledged the end of the popular manga series on social media:
“Today… marks the final chapter of Tokyo Revengers. It’s been five and a half years since the series began, and I’ve drawn its latest chapters with tears in my eyes and laughed during its comedic scenes. Thank you very much to the readers who had the best time with me and the Manji members all these years.”
