Is the Tokyo Revengers manga finished?

On October 28, 2021, a spin-off parody manga written and illustrated by Shinpei Funatsu titled Tōdai Revengers was announced. It began serialization in Kōdansha’s Magazine Pocket on November 3, 2021.7 The story is inspired by the author’s own life, who belonged to a real gang called Black Emperor, which also used the manji 卍 (まんじ) as a logo. The author himself says that his work goes back in time since he does not know how gangs work today and prefers to talk about those from the early 2000s.

In May 2021, it was announced that the series had entered its final arc. At that moment, it was not known when exactly the manga was going to end, but seeing how the arc had been evolving for a year, we assumed that it was closer to its end than not. At that moment, the Tokyo Revengers manga was still ongoing, but that was about to change relatively soon, seeing how it was in its final arc. And we were right.

About a year and a half later, Wakui officially confirmed that the Tokyo Revengers manga would be ending on November 16, 2022, with the publication of the final chapter. And while fans were initially sad to hear it, the underwhelming ending of the manga quickly enraged them and from that perspective, it seems better that the manga is going into the history books.

As for the collected volumes, this is the current status of each of the volumes collected so far:
