Tokyo Revengers was one of the biggest new anime series to arrive in the past few years, following the young man Takemichi Hanagaki as he travels into his past thanks to time-traveling shenanigans as he tries to save the love of his life from a perilous fate brought about by the formation of a mob. With the anime adaptation set to arrive early next year, it seems that the creator of the series, Ken Wakui, is working on a brand new spin-off series that further fleshes out this unique universe.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to dive into the world of Tokyo Revengers, the official description of the popular time-traveling anime story reads as such:
“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 twelve 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!”
