Note
TRIGGER WARNINGS FOR THIS CHAPTER - Suicidal thoughts, death and pain. It's mostly in the last part of the chapter since it describes the first part of episode 1.I don't even know why I'm here - I finished watching all the anime episodes that aired and decided that my emotions were too fragile to read through the manga. Ken Wakui is too good at what he does. I was fully prepared to hate Tokyo Rev because I thought Takemichi was too much of a wimp after seeing spoilers and god, was I wrong. How dare you make me like this cast of characters and HOW DARE YOU PUT THEM THROUGH SO MUCH SUFFERING??? What did they even do to you??After that particular meltdown over realizing I have a new favourite anime, I read through more spoilers. Now I'm upset over the ending, because it is too frigging bittersweet and I just want all of these kids to be happy, ya know? But at the same time, the character development they all went through was just so good I- *chef's kiss*Because I get attached to characters too much, I'm going to smoothen the edges of Tokyo Rev with sandpaper, and you all are going to watch me do it.Since I only have solid knowledge of the events till the end of the Black Dragon arc, those will probably stay consistent to canon. The rest of canon gets shot like Takemichi and Draken.Now with that out of the way, let's start with Chapter 1.
