Tokyo Revengers is a high-stakes time-travel delinquent drama anime.
The story follows Takemichi Hanagaki, a 26-year-old guy whose life has hit rock bottom—he's broke, directionless, and barely scraping by. Things get worse when he learns that his middle school girlfriend, Hinata Tachibana (the only girl he ever dated), was murdered by the Tokyo Manji Gang (also called Toman), a powerful and ruthless delinquent gang.
Right after hearing this devastating news, Takemichi gets pushed in front of an oncoming train and blacks out... only to wake up 12 years in the past, back in his middle school days when he was still a delinquent with friends and a brighter future ahead.
He quickly realizes he has the ability to leap back and forth through time whenever he experiences a strong emotional trigger (often involving death or near-death). His mission becomes clear: change the past to prevent Hinata's death in the future, which means infiltrating and influencing the Tokyo Manji Gang before it turns into the violent criminal organization it becomes.
The series blends intense gang fights, loyalty among friends, emotional character development, and the constant tension of trying to alter fate without everything falling apart worse. It's packed with dramatic twists, betrayals, and some truly hype moments involving Toman's charismatic leaders like Mikey and Draken.
It's action-packed with a delinquent/gang vibe, but the time-leap mechanic adds a unique layer of suspense and heartbreak. Super popular for its emotional punches and "cry baby" energy (fitting the OP song title).
If you're into stuff like gangs, redemption, and time-travel stakes (think a mix of delinquent action and Groundhog Day-style resets), it's a wild ride!
