Tokyo Revengers: Threnody of Extant

Takemichi Hanagaki, at 23 years old, is content with the monotony in his life. He has a loving father, a great group of friends, and an amazing ex-girlfriend who he still cared about, and who still supported him. But he lives alone, in a shabby apartment that he can barely afford, living off cheap food and working at a DVD store that can barely pay the bills. Takemichi feels aimless and without real purpose or fulfillment in his life. An encounter with the Tokyo Manji Gang pulls him into the world of crime and violence, hardening him, yet also giving him purpose that he never knew he needed in his life. This story will not contain systems, immortality, harems, or magical powers. This story is apart of an alternate universe with realistic-ish gangs and violence, no time travel, adult characters, death, villainous protagonists, and a completely reworked and rewritten story that is inspired by and based off of Tokyo Revengers Cannon.
