Manga: Tokyo Revengers
Upon viewing, it becomes apparent that there is a striking resemblance between the characters of the two animanga titles. This is due to their focus on delinquents, resulting in similarly designed characters. As a result, the exaggerated hairstyles and hair color stand out as the most prominent shared elements between the shows.
Additionally, the main focus of both titles is on violence and physical altercations. The story revolves around delinquents engaging in fights for various motives. Takemichi, the protagonist, was a timid individual who faced his fears and fought against delinquents in order to protect his beloved. Similarly, in the recently aired anime series, Sakura Haruka, the main character, desires to prove his strength by climbing to the top through combat.
Shortly after the debut of Wind Breaker, fans noticed these similarities and chose to express their opinions on these shows.
