In Spring 2021, the popular shounen action anime Tokyo Revengers will return with its highly anticipated sequel, Tokyo Revengers Season 2.
The first season finished a few months ago, and fans are already itching for a new episode. So, when can fans expect to see more episodes of this show in the future? The following information should help:
The manga series Tokyo Revengers, from author Ken Wakui, was adapted into the anime Tokyo Revengers in Japan. The manga was turned into an anime by Studio Liden Films, which aired 24 episodes from April 11 to September 19 of the following year.
Crunchyroll and Muse Asia licensed the show for distribution in North America and Asia. Viewers lauded the show’s attention to detail in the scripting of the characters and the suspenseful storyline.
Tokyo Revengers, will there be a second season?
Neither Liden Films nor the anime’s publisher Kodansha had announced a second season renewal at this writing. Tokyo Revengers did not have a season 2 after the first season’s conclusion like many other shows.
A new season of anime might be renewed for years in advance because the decision is based on numerous criteria. Fortunately, there are a few key characteristics that can help determine whether or not a new season will begin:
Since there are currently 16 volumes of content accessible for adaptation, additional 24 seasons should not be a problem. The series is also strong, with new books being released regularly, so receiving a sequel is a bonus.
Sales of Manga
To proceed, you must realize that most anime produced nowadays is primarily intended to promote and enhance sales of its underlying source material (in this case, manga).
Manga volume and merchandise sales have the majority of their revenue, with advertising payments, online streaming licensing, and Blu-ray sales providing the remainder.
Tokyo Revengers was the top-selling manga for most of the year, coming in third behind Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer in the first half of 2021.
More than 40 million copies of the manga have now been printed, with each volume selling over one million copies. Multiple reprints of the series have been obtained, but the publisher can still keep up with the high demand.
Considering there would be increasing streaming and merch money from domestic and foreign companies like HiDive and BiliBli in 2021, selling 15k copies with only four volumes is exceptionally outstanding.
The series has made a lot of money since its premiere. Therefore a sequel should be feasible due to its financial viability Tokyo Revengers Season 2 won’t be a financial loss for Kadokawa and the production committee until the popularity of the franchise declines.
Ubiquity in Japan and the western world
The Tokyo Revengers manga series was already well-liked in Japan before the anime debuted, but interest soared after it did. The manga had approximately 8 million copies in circulation as of March 2021.
By May of 2021, the number had more than quadrupled to 15 million copies, and a week later, the number had risen to 17 million copies with the release of volume 22. According to a report published on September 26, 2021, the manga has sold 40 million copies.
