It is on the official website of Warner Bros that we had the pleasure to discover 30s of this film scheduled for next summer in Japan. https://youtu.be/1Lj78TEwJLg On the directing side, we find Hanabusa Tsutomu (Grand Blue). The screenwriter is Takahashi Izumi (Comes Morning). Tokyo Revengers is basically a manga with currently 20 volumes in Japan. In France, the series was published by Glénat and had 9 volumes. Synopsis of the manga:
At 26, Takemichi feels like he's already missed his life. Living on thankless odd jobs just good at paying the rent of a seedy studio, he laments the desert of his love life when he learns of the death of Hinata, the only girlfriend he has had… The girl and her brother were collateral victims of a settling of scores between members of a gigantic gang, the Tokyo Manji-kai. Still in shock, Takemichi is in turn the victim of an accident that inexplicably takes him back 12 years, when he was in college and gave himself the air of a bad boy. What if this was an opportunity for him to save Hinata? But as he tries to alter the future, Takemichi will find himself inexorably involved in the plots hatching around Tokyo Manji-kai and its charismatic and mysterious leader…
We don't know about you, but on our side, we can't wait to discover this adaptation! While waiting for the sunny days, we invite you to discover The Fable, a manga à la Quentin Tarantino.
