Following the conclusion of Tokyo Revengers season 3, fans were left hanging with a cliffhanger ending for the Tenjiku Arc. With no announcement from the anime studio LIDENFILMS about animating the next season, the possibility of a delay has left fans eager to discover what happens next in the series. This desire will likely lead fans to turn to the manga series, which will reveal the chapter they need to start reading to continue the story from where the anime left off in its season 3 finale.

Where to pick up the manga after Tokyo Revengers season 3?

Readers can pick up the story from Tokyo Revengers chapter 186 to continue following the narrative from its previous point. While those who only watched the anime may have found themselves puzzled by the sudden conclusion of the third season, it is important to note that the anime studio LIDENFILMS chose to end their adaptation at the same point where the Tenjiku Arc concluded in the manga series.
Ken Wakui wrapped up the Tenjiku Arc in chapter 185 and promptly launched into the Bonten Arc. What's interesting about the Bonten Arc is that even though it officially started in chapter 186, the gang is only mentioned for the first time much later in chapter 194. As a result, while the Bonten Arc technically began with chapter 186, those manga chapters seemed more like a conclusion to the Tenjiku Arc.

What to expect from the Bonten Arc?
The Bonten Arc itself consists of only 21 chapters. After that, the manga series included two more arcs as part of the Final Saga - the Three Deities Arc and the Kanto Manji Arc, which have chapter counts of 29 and 43, respectively. Therefore, to finish the remaining series, one would have to read a total of 93 chapters.
Following the conclusion of the Tenjiku arc, the Tokyo Revengers manga depicted Takemichi's attempts to grapple with Kisaki's demise. Despite his deep dislike for Kisaki, Takemichi was astounded to learn that Kisaki did not possess the ability to time leap. This meant that he had managed to eliminate his rivals and ascend to the pinnacle of Japan's criminal underworld while risking his own life.

Additionally, the manga featured Takemichi returning to the future to see the consequences of his past actions during the Kanto incident. This time, he managed to rescue Hinata Tachibana and was set to marry her, leading a happy life.
It was during this time that he discovered the existence of Japan's biggest criminal organization - Bonten. The leader, Manjiro Sano, had disappeared following the Kanto incident. As a result, Takemichi made the decision to travel back to the past and confront Mikey about his dangerous choice.
Editor's P/S
As a passionate fan of the Tokyo Revengers series, I was thrilled to learn that the manga will continue after the cliffhanger ending of season 3. I can't wait to dive into the Bonten Arc and discover what happens next in the story. I'm particularly interested in learning more about the mysterious Bonten gang and their connection to Mikey. I also want to see how Takemichi will deal with the consequences of his past actions and how he will ultimately confront Mikey about his dangerous choices.
Overall, I'm excited about the future of the Tokyo Revengers manga and I can't wait to see how the story unfolds. I'm confident that the Bonten Arc will be just as thrilling and action-packed as the previous arcs, and I can't wait to see what Ken Wakui has in store for us.
