Now, he has to re-write the future that he lived into one that he wants to live in. For this, he has to prevent the death of his girlfriend. That may seem to be an easy task considering he already knows the future. But our boy has to go through some deep stuff to get his life back on track. He not only has to join a gang but also make sure two gang leaders never meet each other.

But if we are talking about time travel, or future fixing, or even the delinquent concept, there are tons that you can choose from. However, not all of them have the similar heat that Tokyo Revengers delivers.
Take a look at our picks and give them a read if you find them interesting. We can confidently say that you will be hooked on the good stuff.
Table of Contents
21. The Glorious Asuka Gang!
Consisting of twenty-seven volumes, Hana no Asuka-gumi is a manga that is filled with gang wars. The manga is written and illustrated by Satosumi Takaguchi Sensei and is completed.
It has a similar delinquent setting that Tokyo Revengers portrays. But the story takes place in Kabuki Chou Ichibangai, a sector of Tokyo that is filled with gangs. So the story is a bit heavier than its counterpart.
20. Geki!! Gokutora Ikka
This twelve-volume manga from Akira Miyashita Sensei takes the delinquent part of Tokyo Revengers and dials it up a notch. Instead of being a delinquent to save his loved one, this manga makes the main character pursue the dream of being the best.
Tora, an average gangster, aims to become the most notorious in Japan. And to do so, he is willing to go on a rampage against anyone who stands in his path.
19. Nidome no Jinsei: Animator
This work of Gaku Miyao Sensei is similar to Tokyo Revengers in the terms that it also tells the story centred around time slip. Unfortunately, this is a manga that was introduced not far back, and thus there is no exact count of volumes yet. But it has an art style and story that is captivating.
This manga tells the story of a 58-year-old salaryman who slips forty years into the past. This allows him to rewrite his life as an animator instead of a daily salaryman. It is a lighthearted story that is worth the read.
18. Shinjuku Swan
Not all delinquent stories have to be related to high schoolers. Even an adult can get mixed up with the Yakuza and has to delve deeper into the dark side of society. Unlike Tokyo Revengers, this one is not about high school love. But it has a similar heavy delinquent factor to it.
This is a manga from Ken Wakui Sensei that has thirty-eight volumes. It tells the story of Shiratori Tatsuhiko, a bum who gets mixed with the Yakuza due to his scouting job. This job pulls him deep into the illegal side of society, but he still struggles to uphold his morals.
17. Heptagon
With only a single volume, this manga is one that is similar to Tokyo Revengers in the time travel concept. Heptagon is the brainchild of Chiaki Hijiri Sensei. Instead of a train, the main character Nana is sent back to the past after a car accident.
Once she is back in her fourteen-year-old body, she starts living her life as usual. But that doesn’t last long as she has to again face the memories that she buried deep. This manga shows how she overcomes those memories and builds new memories that are worth remembering.
16. Gangsta
Another manga that deals with gangs and a mature theme is Gangsta. It is similar to Tokyo Revengers as it also takes a peek at the physical abuse sector. This manga has eight volumes. And within these volumes, the author Kosuke Sensei tried his most to show the awful side of gangs.
These gangs or delinquents are not your run in the mill people. They all have a super-human ability that they acquired due to some underground drugs. This gives rise to new groups and thus forces them to go into a gang war. It is an excellent manga if you want some hardcore action.
15. When Delinquent Bikers Ruled
This action-comedy shounen manga by Satoshi Yoshida Sensei has sixteen volumes. And these sixteen volumes are filled with gang culture and a theme that is sure to attract mature readers. Now, why does it sound familiar? Obviously, because Tokyo Revengers also is based around these two core concepts.
But unlike the delinquents, it is more like a biker gang. It tells the daily life of a biker group that is the strongest in the area despite being composed of only high schoolers.
14. ReLife
Similar to Tokyo Revengers, ReLife takes the romantic and time travel concept and produces a masterpiece. So Yayoi Sensei took these two concepts and produced fifteen volumes of manga that are iconic till today. The characters of this manga have a similar vibe to Tokyo Revengers.
Instead of a train sending him to the past, Arata Kaizaki takes his second chance at life with the help of a pill. This pill turns him into a seventeen-year-old. Now he has to fix his life to make sure he comes out on top.
13. OUT
Delinquents are not always out there to seek blood and thrill. The same is true for Tatsuya Iguchi. He is a seventeen-year-old delinquent who is moving out of his home town. He just wants to enjoy his life and gather new experiences. But his delinquent lifestyle won’t let him.
This manga has a story written by Tatsuya Iguchi Sensei and illustrated by Makoto Mizuta Sensei. The first chapter of this manga was released in June of 2012 and is still ongoing. So the exact number of volumes is unknown. But the thing is, this manga has the potential to overcome the fame of Tokyo Revengers.
12. Double Hard
Tokyo Revengers, along with the time travel, has a lot of gruesome delinquent fight scenes. A manga that has some similarities in this sector is Double Hard. This is a Shounen manga that has thirty volumes and is a completed one. The story is written and illustrated by Naoki Konno Sensei.
Not all delinquents are born to be one, but some are forced to take that path. The same is true for Daiki Hayami. He was a Fist-Fighter who had to clash the street thugs for his classmates. As a result, this manga has pretty good fight scenes and the romance concept that Tokyo Revengers portrays.

With brilliant animation and a fantastic storyline, it made a great start right off the bat. Tokyo Revengers starts with introducing Takemichi Hanagaki who’s sick of his everyday life as a literal loser.

[HQ Images] 6. Ikebukuro West Gate Park 5. Rainbow 4. Shounan Bakusozouku 3. Steins; Gate 2. Kokou Botuden Crows 1. Erased Conclusion 12. Re: Zero Although, Re: Zero does not have a bunch of delinquents with some nasty tempers, the one thing that both Tokyo Revengers and Re: Zero share in common is the ability to travel back in time to save their loved ones. Re: Zero revolves around Natsuki Subaru who got hit by our famous Truck-kun and was issekai’d to a completely different world. As soon as he gets to the new world, he meets a silver-haired half-elf, Emilia, and gets killed while saving her. He finds himself alive again after a few hours just to die again. After experiencing death a few times, he realizes he has this mysterious power to return back to life and turn back time whenever he dies. He finally succeeds in helping her and out of gratitude, Emilia takes him to her palace and lets him stay there as a butler. Subaru slowly develops feelings for Emilia and decides that he’d help her become the next Queen no matter what. However, his journey is full of pain and suffering as he comes across a lot of deadly villains that are after Emilia. Now, will Subaru overcome all the suffering while having a bunch of good companions by his side and be able to make Emilia’s wish come true? 11. Charlotte Just like Tokyo Revengers, Charlotte also involves the theme of time traveling. It also involves some High School stuff going on just like Tokyo Revengers. So, if you liked Tokyo Revengers, you’re definitely going to love watching Charlotte, too! Charlotte follows the story of some pre adolescent kids who start developing superhuman powers when a mysterious comet named Charlotte passes by Earth. Yuu Otosaka is our MC who develops the power of possessing anyone’s body for five seconds and wants to use it to live his school life as carefree as he can. However, he’s exposed by a girl named Nao Tomori. She forces him to transfer to the Houshinoumi Academy where the rest of the kids with superhuman powers are. Together, they search for their destiny as power wielders. 10. Black Lagoon Black Lagoon is an action-oriented anime with a bunch of delinquents/yakuza just like Tokyo Revengers. However, the yakuza in Black Lagoon are definitely on a whole other level of badass. So, if you’re into some action-filled anime, we definitely recommend you to watch this one! Black Lagoon tells us the story of Rokuro Okajima who’s an ordinary salaryman, carrying some important documents for the company. The ship he’s traveling in gets attacked by the pirates. He’s kidnapped by the mercenaries but his top priority is to keep the documents safe. He soon notices that the pirates are quite friendly and mean no harm to him. Now, with his life as a corporate slave ruined, he wishes to join the group of pirates and travel with them throughout the South China Sea. 9. ReLife ReLife features the concept of time traveling along with some lovey-dovey concept that is quite similar to Tokyo Revengers. You’d also notice the characters of both the anime giving the same vibes despite having different dynamics. Traveling back in time to fix one’s life by not repeating the same mistake is what’s similar in both ReLife and Tokyo Revengers. The story revolves around a 27-year-old guy named Kaizaki Arata, who’s hopeless in finding a job after quitting his former one. One day he meets Ryo Yoake who works at the ReLife Research Institute. Ryo possesses a drug that could transform Kaizaki into his 17-year-old self again to fix his past mistakes. Kaizaki agrees to use it and starts his life again as a high-schooler. 8. Great Teacher Onizuka Both Great Teacher Onizuka and Tokyo Revengers share the theme of High School Drama and involve some really nice yakuza action. However, Great Teacher Onizuka is definitely way more comedic than Tokyo Revengers. Our MC in Great Teacher Onizuka is a badass ex-biker gang leader who aspires to be a great high school teacher (How ironic!). However, he’s up to no good as his sole motive of getting into a high school as a teacher is just to find a pretty little teenage wife for him. He manages to get into the prestigious Holy Forest Academy but finds himself in a bit of a mess as his class is notorious for being rotten to the core. The students face issues every day and he is the one who solves them by using his life lessons. 7. Orange Orange is just another anime with time-traveling as its main theme. Although it does not involve any delinquents or yakuza, it is quite similar to Tokyo Revengers. Both involve some high school romance and the MCs wishing to fix their past mistakes to save their loved ones. We definitely recommend you to check it out if you loved watching Tokyo Revengers. Orange follows the story of Takamiya Naho who receives a detailed letter from herself 10 years in the future one day. Initially, she thinks that someone’s playing a prank on her because let’s be serious, how can a person even receive a letter from her own self from the future? Sounds ridiculous, right? However, Naho notices the things in the letter coming true and has no choice but to believe the miracle that’s happening to her. She has a group of friends which also includes a guy named Kakeru. Her future self deeply regrets that Kakeru is no longer with them in the future and advises her past self to never leave him alone and watch him closely so that he stays with them. you might also like this: yellow point arrow 35+ BEST Manhwa/Webtoons That Are Popular! [HQ Images] No Comments Last Updated on April 29, 2021 by saaddhillonKorean Manhwas or Webtoons are rapidly gaining popularity all around the world not only because of their artwork Read More » 6. Ikebukuro West Gate Park Both Ikebukuro West Gate Park and Tokyo Revengers revolve around the gang culture in Japan and its power dynamics. They show the struggles of different yakuza gangs possessing different power structures. They both share the same concept of protecting someone other than themselves! The story is about Makoto Majima who is a troubleshooter and often fixes disputes amongst the deadly yakuza that live in Ikebukuro. He’s Extremely capable and is able to do things that even the police can’t. Makoto ends up losing his loved one when things get out of hand. Will he keep his cool and deal with everything logically or go haywire? The answer lies in the anime! 5. Rainbow Another anime about delinquents and gangs, Rainbow tells us the story of some bad boys that are also sad boys! Rainbow and Tokyo revengers are quite similar because of the concept of yakuza bonding and deeply analyzing why they turn out to be like that. Rainbow tells us the story of a bunch of teenagers who have been shifted to Shounan Special Reform School because of some crimes they committed. They meet an older inmate, Rokurouta Sakuragi, who was a former boxer in their cell and all of them become close to him. The boys saw a light of hope and promised each other that they’ll meet again outside after serving their sentences. 4. Shounan Bakusozouku This anime features a theme of gang culture and mixes it up with the high school drama which gives it an interesting edge! We see the concept of gang culture portrayed beautifully in this anime just like Tokyo Revengers. Shounan Bakusozouku is about a high school gang leader who’s a biker as well as a member of his school’s handicrafts club (How ironic!). We find our MC very weird because he constantly juggles between being a badass biker and a total cutie with his handicrafts. The rest of his gang is equally weird! 3. Steins; Gate Steins; Gate incorporates the theme of time travel and is very similar to Tokyo Revengers. However, we don’t see any gangs or yakuza in Steins; Gate. Our MC, unlike the MC of Tokyo Revengers, is a weird scientist. Both the anime involve going back in time to save their loved ones. This anime revolves around a mad scientist named Rintarou Okabe along with his team members, Mayuri Shiina and Hashida Itaru who are constantly working on some “Future Gadgets”. They manage to create a bizarre “Phone Microwave” that can send Emails to the past, changing the past completely. 2. Kokou Botuden Crows Kokou Botuden Crows revolve around high school gangs and delinquents and their strong bonds with each other. If you liked Tokyo Revengers, you’re definitely going to love this one! The story is about Bouya Harumichi who got transferred to an all-boys high school. That high school is a haven for some of the most dangerous delinquents. The high school is named “Crows High School” because the students get a lot of hate from normal people because of their inauspiciousness. Hamachi has the potential of becoming a badass delinquent. But will he really join hands with the delinquents and get all the hate from the people around him? 1. Erased Just like the MC of Tokyo Revengers, our MC from Erased becomes his younger self to save his loved one. Both anime share the concept of time traveling as well as changing the course of things so that they could fix what they’ve ruined. Erased follows the story of Satoru Fujinuma who’s a reclusive part-timer with no ambitions. However, he has the power of going back in time and avoiding accidents or deaths (Such a convenient power!). Satoru lives with a constant childhood trauma that he would like to forget. The only way is to go back in the past and fix things so that he could live his life without any guilt. Will he trust his ability and go back in time to fix things? Conclusion Tokyo Revengers is definitely worth all the grace it’s getting. It has a beautiful story that gives us a lesson that we should not trust what we see on the surface but also try to understand something on a deeper, less superficial level. With that being said, our list will help you with some of the best anime that are similar to Tokyo Revengers on so many levels.

If you’re into anime that’s full of cuteness, wholesomeness, and a few emotional moments from time to time, then for sure you’ve heard of Gakuen Babysitters. Gakuen Babysitters has a hint of the sweet high school romance! It has a tsundere! It has great main characters! But most of all, the babies look adorable! Gakuen Babysitters is a Comedy Slice of Life anime that was handled by Brain’s Base studio. It has a total of 12 episodes and premiered last Winter 2018. The plot follows Ryuuichi Kashima and his little brother Kotarou. After losing both their parents in a plane crash, Ryuuichi now joins the babysitter club in exchange for the chairwoman of Morinomiya Academy to let them live with her for free and enroll Ryuuichi in the school without pay. This series just doesn’t involve babies, but it features a story of two brothers slowly adapting to a new environment without a family, but slowly they start to realize that they will never be alone. I know you’re reading this because you can’t get enough of Gakuen Babysitters. So I’ve prepared a list of 15+ anime that have similarities with Gakuen Babysitters to fulfill your heart’s desires. So my fellow anime enthusiast, let me take you for a ride! Read More: EPIC ACTION Korean Webtoons/Mahwa 16. Ore Monogatari Ore Monogatari is a wholesome one! It has love! But instead of babies, we get a gentle giant! The relation to Gakuen Babysitters is not that recognizable as it is most definitely a RomCom series rather than a slice of life. One of the things that they do have the same though is that the main character is easily misunderstood by those around him until others stand up for him and stay by his side no matter what. This kind of situation was rather a staple piece especially at the start of Gakuen Babysitters. Think of this series as Hayato getting into a relationship and Yagi not losing his unusual addiction for kids and becoming his best friend. Ore Monogatari is about Takeo Gouda, definitely not your everyday high schooler. His conquest for love began when he saved the cute and adorable Rinko Yamato from being molested. After he thinks that Rinko is interested in his best friend, Makoto Sunukawa, he acts as her helper even though he was also in love with her. Takeo has a lot of similarities with Ryuuichi especially in how they are both selfless and are willing to put others first. 15. Horimiya You might be wondering why Horimiya is on the list, but hold your horses and hear me out. Horimiya has some similarities to Gakuen Babysitters especially in how episodes progress. The story progresses in a manner that cannot be easily realized by the viewer. Another thing that Horimiya has that is the same with Gakuen Babysitters is how they portray the Slice of Life and Comedy genre realistically. It has characters that have similar characteristics to Gakuen Babysitters as well. Similar to Ryuuichi, Miyamura (the male main character) started to understand that no one can be alone, as he meets friends and eventually finds the love of his life. Horimiya is a Slice of Life, RomCom anime that features Izumi Miyamura, a timid and shy student who was alone for most of his life and was constantly bullied, and Kyouko Hori who is an independent and determined high school girl. As the days go by and they start to know each other, love eventually blossoms between the two, and a new world is opened up for Miyamura Izumi. It may not have babies, but that does not mean it doesn’t have characters who are as dumb as one. 14. Himouto! Umaru-chan She is not a baby! She just looks like one! Himouto! Umaru-chan is a slice-of-life anime just like Gakuen Babysitters. It features characters with the same tropes that are found in Gakuen Babysitters as well. Not only that, their comedic antics are closely similar to the series as well but it lacks the wholesomeness that encapsulates Gakuen Babysitters. Himouto! Umaru-chan is a pure comedic slice of life anime that offers little drama but packs a punch with its jokes and hilarious scenes. The series revolves around Umaru Doma who is a perfect high school student but once she gets home and wears her hamster hoodie, she becomes this lazy otaku that just does whatever she likes, leaving her brother, Taihei all the household chores. The series also has a set of characters that give more spice to the comedy such as the shy and quiet Ebina, the so-called rival Sylphynford, and the Hayato-like Kirie. Again, she just looks like a baby, and maybe even has the same IQ as one. 13. Tamako Market We had high schoolers who were as dumb as a baby, we had an otaku who looks like a baby, but now we get－a talking bird! Yes. A talking bird who’s addicted to mochi. One thing for sure that makes Tamako Market have similarities with Gakuen Babysitters is that it is Slice of Life anime through and through. It features the everyday life of Tamako Kitashirakawa, just like in Gakuen Babysitters where the story revolves around the daily life of Ryuuichi inside the daycare. But instead of daycare, we have a market and instead of babies, you have a bird who has a bigger ego than that one guy who just got a raise. Tamako Market also has the wholesomeness and subtle comedy and romance in Gakuen Babysitters. As I’ve said Tamako Market revolves around the life of Tamako and the market where everyone knows everyone. Tamako belongs to a family of mochi bakers. On a fateful day, she finds Dera Mochimazzi, a bird who proclaims that he is royalty from a distant land and is in search of a bride for his nation’s prince. But Dera takes on an unusual addiction to Mochi, becomes overweight, and can no longer return to his homeland. He lives in Tamako’s house and becomes the mascot. There is also a little romance involved as Tamako’s childhood friend Mochizou continues to hide his feelings from her. 12. K-On! What goes well with wholesomeness? Music and a Tea Party! K-On! is another wholesome slice of life anime that is set in a Japanese high school. But instead of daycare or your typical high school student, K-On! features the four (and then five) high school girls that reside within the Light Music Club. The series shows their day-to-day life just like in Gakuen Babysitters but adds a little uniqueness with their songs and performances. It also has comedy, a little bit of drama that can be found in high school, as well as their journey to achieve their dream. The band name is “Afterschool Tea Time”. The band members include The forgetful main character Yui Hirasawa who plays the guitar and is the lead vocalist; The energetic Ritsu Tainaka who plays the drums; The shy Mio Akiyama, the second vocalist, and bassist; The wealthy and naive Tsugumi Kotobuki who plays the keyboard and; a member who will arrive at the later part of the series, Azusa Nakano who also plays the guitar. Together they bring out wholesome laughs and adorable antics that can’t help but make you smile. The series also has several original songs that can make your day flutter with happiness. 11. Nichijou Nichijou is one of the funniest and wackiest slice of life anime you will ever see in your life. Forget about the talking bird, this time we have a talking cat, a principal tries to suplex a deer, a crow is also talking, and there’s even a robot caretaker. What more could you want? Nichijou - My Ordinary Life is literally about the life of the 6 main characters where again one is a robot, one is a talking cat, and also adds a young genius into the mix. Gakuen Babysitters have a more realistic slice of life but Nichijou is like Gakuen Babysitters but drinks coffee 3 times a day. It’s also set in a high school setting just like in Gakuen Babysitters but lacks the emotional drama as it's a full-blown slapstick comedy. Nichijou is the anime series that took all of Gakuen Babysitters' comedy and put them in a high school setting. It’s like a series out of all the imaginations of the babies in the daycare in Gakuen Babysitters. Maybe this is what Usaida is dreaming about. 10. Chibi☆Devi! We finally have babies! Well…devil babies. Chibi☆Devi! is a series that just like Gakuen Babysitters tackles the hardships of taking care of babies but this series just has a “devilish” twist in it. It features the activities that can be found in Gakuen Babysitters such as nap-time and story-time. One thing that sets this apart from Gakuen Babysitters, however, is that the series is geared towards much younger audiences so you won’t find the emotional drama, and the comedy is built for those at a young age. The series is focused on Honoka Sawada who doesn’t believe in devils and such but one day a devil baby named Mao was dropped into her room while she was asleep and is now enlisting the help of Shin Sugisaki to help her in dealing with the unusual circumstances. 9. My Roommate is a Cat From a talking bird to devil babies and back to an ordinary cat. This may seem like a downgrade but keep reading, this series has a lot more in common with Gakuen Babysitters than you thought. It perfectly re-enacts the situation Ryuuichi and Kotarou are in where their parents died in an accident leaving them alone. But in My Roommate is a Cat, the main character is living in solitude until he meets Haru, a grey cat he decided to take care of. He is similar to Ryuuichi because he is put in a situation where he must take care of someone/something other than himself. Although, instead of being like Ryuuichi who is responsible, Subaru can’t even seem to take care of himself. The similarities don’t stop there, after his fateful meeting with Haru, Subaru is now being acquainted with more and more people and is slowly leaving his introverted life. My Roommate is a Cat that builds up an entire story from the “stray gets picked up from the streets” cliche in other anime series and that itself is amazing. It’s heartwarming and also involves funny scenes. Even though Haru has a backstory, the series makes sure that you get to know and fall in love with the characters. 8. Poco’s Udon World Just by looking at the picture you can tell that even in the art style, Poco’s Udon World and Gakuen Babysitters are starting to look alike. But only do they look alike but there are also similarities in their plot and concept. Poco’s Udon World is more intertwined with fantasy while Gakuen Babysitter is telling their story from a more realistic perspective. I mean Poco’s Udon World has a shapeshifting Tanuki. The main characters of the two series also lost both their parents. Poco’s Udon World also has that wholesome tone to it and also talks about the past of the main character, Souta Tawara. There are also similarities in how the supporting characters act and their main characteristics. The storytelling is also similar to Gakuen Babysitter where there is no definitive storyline, the series is just taking us through the daily life of the characters. So, if you’re not into talking birds and cats, maybe you’re more into a shapeshifting Tanuki named Poco. 7. Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge This anime is if you imagined Usaida and Ryuuichi changed attitudes. I guess this is what Usaida’s dreams must be about. Also called Tanaka-kun is Always Listless in English it revolves around the main character Tanaka, who doesn’t want to exert energy, and his dependable friend Oota (blonde Usaida) as they encounter extraordinary events while living their high school lives. It’s a slice-of-life comedy anime that focuses on the dream of the main character to live a peaceful and quiet life. It also has a pretty unique art style. The similarities it has with Gakuen Babysitters lie in the basic concept of Tanaka’s daily life. While being the opposite of the responsible Ryuuichi, both series focus on the daily life of the characters and the unusual situations that happen in them. Its style of comedy is also similar to Gakuen Babysitters as well as its list of characters. 6. Sweetness & Lightning We finally reached it! If you’re the one who just scrolled all the way here to find an anime that involves taking care of a real baby, you’ve done it! The anime focuses on the life of Kouhei Inuzaka who is taking care of his daughter Tsumugi after his wife passed away. Because of his busy life and his inability to cook, he usually feeds both of them food from the convenience store. He takes up an offer from his student Kotori, and he and Tsumugi eat and cook together with Kotori. In terms of similarity with Gakuen Babysitters, first off, they both stick to the realistic manner of portraying the slice of life genre. He is also in the same situation as Ryuuichi but this time he’s the father. There is also a hint of drama involved especially in the characters' current situation. It’s a wholesome anime that involves cooking, family, and emotions. In a sense, it's more realistic than Gakuen Babysitters especially in how it deals with the character’s feelings. 5. How to Keep a Mummy Look at that mummy! Who in this world would not think that that’s not cute? And there’s more where that came from. How to Keep a Mummy essentially replaced the babies in Gakuen Babysitters with unique cute pets. The story is all about a high school student named Sora Kashiwagi who receives bizarre gifts from his father who travels the world. When he receives a present that came from Egypt he’s shocked to find a little mummy named Mii-kun. As they go along with their lives they start to meet other people with extraordinary pets. This is essentially Gakuen Babysitters if it were set in Night at the Museum. Both series are cute and wholesome. You can’t help but smile at their antics and their amusing everyday lives. Who wouldn’t enjoy that heartwarming tea-cup size cuteness overload? 4. Bunny Drop Bunny Drop is similar to Sweetness & Lightning but instead of the main character being a single father he is now a 30-year old bachelor who just goes with the flow. The story begins when Daikichi Kawachi was paying his respects to his grandfather. He meets a shy girl named Rin Kaga who is being rejected by Daickihi’s grandfather’s relatives after his death as they think she is a shame to the family as she was shockingly his Daikichi’s grandfather’s illegitimate daughter. Furious, Daikichi decides to take Rin as his own and so his journey to fatherhood starts. Bunny Drop has close ties with Gakuen Babysitters especially in how the series’ main characters try to discover and rediscover the warmth and kindness of a close-knit family. Bunny Drop includes wholesome scenes. The series is rare in the anime world because it deals with a subject that is often taken seriously. This slice of life anime will surely make you smile and maybe make you shed a tear or two. 3. Barakamon Barakamon is not about taking care of children but it’s about discovering yourself while being in contact with one. The plot of Barakamon is centered on Seishu Handa who is a narcissistic and talented calligrapher who was exiled to the Goto Islands after losing his cool when his work was called unoriginal. He meets his wacky neighbors who keep barging into his home, one of which is Naru Kotoishi, a very annoying child. While in exile and always being kept busy by his neighbors, he starts to learn new things that began to change his view on so many things in life. Gakuen Babysitters primarily focuses on antics as well as having subtle emotional scenes such as the case with Barakamon. But Barakamon tends to focus on one of Seishu’s views on life instead of his situation. It has similarities with the comedic scenes in Gakuen Babysitters as well as the way it portrays a slice of life. Maybe by watching this anime, you can learn something that will change your perspective about the world. 2. Baby and Me You may be thinking, what’s an anime that premiered in 1996 doing here? Well, because it is one of the most similar anime to Gakuen Babysitters of course! Maybe even its grandfather or something. Such as I said it's similar to Gakuen Babysitters because the mother of the main character, Takuya Enoki’s mother passed away and now he must sacrifice his childhood, even as a 5th grader to take care of his little brother as his father is busy working as your typical Japanese salaryman. Takuya’s situation is almost the same as Ryuuichi as they both try their best to find the true meaning of family. Baby and Me is essentially a drama-comedy anime. It portrays a situation that happens in real life and the story is beautiful on its own. It may be old but it sure is worth watching. 1. Hanamaru Youchien Hanamaru Youchien or Hanamaru Kindergarten is the closest anime just like Gakuen Babysitters. The main character might not have the same family situation just like Ryuuichi but the scenarios, comedy, and slice of life elements of the two series are like twins. Hanamaru Youchien also has that subtle romance where the main character, Naozumi Tsuchida is in love with Nanako Yamamoto who supervises the class next door. Its structure of events is also similar to Gakuen Babysitters. The show is as wholesome as it gets pretty funny because it’s one of the few anime where a big part of the story is where Anzu, a kindergartener fell in love with Naozumi. The series is relaxing, fun, and just all-around laid-back. It’s a must-watch if you liked Gakuen Babysitters. Final Verdict Most of the series listed here are a slice of life and that’s what Gakuen Babysitters was all about. It showed the everyday life of the characters. Their problems, their emotions, but most of all it talked about what it meant to have family and someone to rely on. Self-discovery and understanding are important but sometimes you need to help those around you. 15+ ANIME Like Gakuen Babysitters [Recommendations] Ernie Last Updated on April 27, 2021 by saaddhillon Do you like babies!?

And the Nipponjin express their respect to one another through Honorifics. Honorifics are representative of your status in society thus different suffixes are used in specific situations. Informal suffixes are most of the time used to address people with the same social status as yourself and the opposite is true for Formal suffixes. It is very important to distinguish the difference between both to go through a conversation without offending the other party. So let's talk about the meaning and proper use of Chan, San, and Kun, since you are sure to come across one of them in most conversations. Read More: EXCITING Anime and Manga Attractions in Tokyo! Japanese Honorific Guide 101 - Everything You Need To Know What does San mean in Japanese? San is a unisex suffix that can be used for both males as well females. It’s a substitute for “Mrs.”, “Ms.”, or “Mr.”, a formal and informal suffix (subscript) used to address superior as well as equals or people you just met. It is the most popular honorific and the easiest to use, a safe choice in moments of doubt. It is attached at the end of a person's name, occupation, or official title. For example, if you want to address a proprietor (boss or owner of a business,) it can be “Mochinushi-san.” You can even add this suffix to a company name as you refer to it, or an animal like for example Sakana-san meaning fish. San also has a more formal equivalent, “Sama” used to address people of higher social status or people you work for. For example, a maid might call her master Goshujin-sama. What does Chan mean in Japanese? Chan is a derivative of San used exclusively for females. It can be for children, close friends, family members, lovers, and even animals. We can conclude that it is an informal suffix that is not used to address strangers. Calling someone using Chan can be considered as a way of pampering or spoiling as you will use this honorific to address people, animals, or things you find Kawaii, cute. It can be added at the end of the person’s name or a nickname. For example, Hinata might be called Hina-chan. In rare circumstances, only for phonetic reasons, a boy might be addressed with Chan if this name does not sound good if the suffix Kun is added. For example, Tsubasa called Tsuba-chan may ring better in your ear than Tsuba-Kun. What does Kun mean in Japanese? Simply put, Kun is the opposite of Chan. It is reserved to address males instead of females. What differs is that it will most probably be used for young boys as older ones might get insulted to be considered cute. It also shows that the superior is addressing the inferior, so you have to carefully assess each person's social status before using it. In rare cases, a superior, in the workplace, may address his female employee by using Kun because this suffix is considered to be more respectful than Chan. Also, a female might use Kun to address a male she is very close to and has a strong feeling for, like for example, her lover. Those honorifics are only the tip of the iceberg, many more are worth mentioning since, we, anime fans, come across them daily. So let’s go over the most confusing ones. What does Senpai & Kohai mean in Japanese? Senpai refers to a person, not necessarily older, but a person who has more experience in a specific domain. Although it is mostly used to refer to a senior at school it can be used to address seniors at the workplace or in a sports club. The people who were there before you are your Senpai’s even if they are younger. Well, you guessed it, Kohai is the opposite of Senpai. It refers to the juniors. What does Sensei mean in Japanese? A lot of people mistakenly use “Sensei" only for professors or teachers but "Sensei" is also descriptive for doctors and lawyers. Anyone that we look upon as an authority figure or a Master in a specific field. It is used to acknowledge someone that achieved a superior level of mastery and skill in a domain. This is why artists can also be addressed using "Sensei". What does Fujin mean in Japanese? Like Chan, Fujin is allocated for women. It’s similar to “Mrs.” and mostly used to refer to someone’s wife. It is a prestigious honorific meant to address women of high status like politicians or celebrities. What does Dono & Tono mean in Japanese? I added those honorifics to the mix even if they are not used in the modern age because, frankly, I was very curious about them. Turns out that those two honorifics mean the same thing. The same Kanji is used to write both of them and it means “Lord”. It was used in the paste between Nobles to address each other with the same level of respect and the servants had the liberty to use Dono, Tono, or Sama. Since we started to mention royalty, let’s continue on this path. Those are the most famous titles of royalty Heika means Majesty. Denka means Royal Highness. Kakka means Your Excellence. To end on a special note, I just discovered that there are also honorifics to address criminals. For convicted criminals we use hikoku and for accused or criminals still on trial/awaiting trial the honorific yōgisha is more appropriate. Conclusion In a nutshell, honorifics are the Japanese way of being polite and they reflect the relationship between two individuals. Being polite and respectful is a way to uphold your honor and the honor of your family. If you are already familiar with the general Japanese culture, knowing which honorifics to use will be easier for you. Appropriate honorifics have been created to match all kinds of individuals in all kinds of situations. The Japanese have a very complex way of communicating but that’s what makes their culture and language so interesting and beautiful. All the attention they give to reflect each person's status is their way to show what they accomplished during their life even if it’s negative. Things they have the right to be recognized or persecuted for. If you think about it, everything related to the Japanese culture is very poetic and has a deeper meaning than what meets the eye.

25+ Anime Like Tokyo Revengers [Recommendations]
Updated July 27, 2022 by Ernie Tokyo Revengers anime was probably one of the most anticipated manga adaptations and with the anime finally coming out, we can slowly see the hype building up! With brilliant animation and a fantastic storyline, it made a great start right off the bat. Tokyo Revengers starts with introducing Takemichi Hanagaki who’s sick of his everyday life as
11. Samurai Champloo
If you have read the manga or even watched the anime titled Samurai Champloo, you might be thinking, how is this manga similar to Tokyo Revengers? It doesn’t have either the time travel or the delinquent part. Still, there is one part that plays a similar role. It is the Samurais of the show.
This two-volume manga by Masaru Gotsubo Sensei introduces the delinquent part using samurais. Though samurais are considered respectable characters in Japanese media, Masaru sensei gives them a new look. Once you read the manga, you will be able to see the similarities between the two.
10. Re: Zero
While having the similar time travel concept of Tokyo Revengers, Re:Zero tells the story differently. Tappei Nagatsuki Sensei composed his light novel into eighteen manga volumes which Makoto Fugetsu Sensei illustrated. This manga takes the time travel concept and adds a pretty interesting twist to it.
Natsuki Subaru, a neet who gets isekied into another world, gains the ability to travel back to a certain point in his life. But the catch is, to travel back he needs to die. So now he has to utilize his ability to make sure that whatever killed him in the first place doesn’t occur.
9. From Today, It's My Turn!!
Without the time travel concept, Tokyo Revengers is filled with delinquent activities. The same is true for, From Today, It’s My Turn‼ This story about the hot-blooded delinquents has thirty-eight volumes. The story is written and illustrated by Hiroyuki Nishimori Sensei. It also has a single volume special titled From Today, It’s My Turn‼: Yusha Sagawa to Ano Futari-hen.
It tells the story of two transfer students who got tired of their boring old life. So they took advantage of their new school and are taking a shot at the delinquent lifestyle. Now they want to be the best delinquents in Japan.
8. Crows
Another manga that deals with a school filled with delinquents is Crows. This manga has twenty-six volumes which are written and illustrated by Hiroshi Takahashi Sensei. There are three more installations of this franchise. All of them have the similar delinquent concept that Tokyo Revengers deals with.
Harumichi Boya, a second-year student, gets transferred to a new school. The school he gets into is Suzuran High School which is well known for its students. Not the meritorious, but the delinquent kind. Not long after, Boya also gets mixed with the delinquent groups. And after that, he also starts going around challenging other gangs and asserting his dominance.
7. Gokusen
Yakuza and delinquents go hand in hand. And for this reason, we included Gokusen in our list. Having fifteen volumes, this manga is written and illustrated by Kozueko Morimoto Sensei. Similar to Tokyo Revengers, this manga deals with delinquents but in a much more lighthearted manner.
Instead of the usual student delinquents, Gokusen deals with the teacher. Kumiko Yamaguchi is a Yakuza leader, and she becomes the teacher of a school filled with delinquents. This gives rise to a scenario that is filled with comedy and also severe hand to hand fights.
6. Steins;Gate
With time travel at its core, Steins;Gate is an identical manga to Tokyo Revengers. There are three volumes of the manga which Yomi Sarachi Sensei wrote. It also has a second part titled Steins;Gate: Onshuu no Brownian Motion.
The story revolves around the self-proclaimed mad scientist Rintaro Okabe. Instead of travelling back in time, this manga shows that the future self of Okabe is sending a message to his past self through a microwave oven and a cell phone. I know this sounds weird but give it a read. It handles the time travel concept in a pretty thorough manner.
5. Orange
This six-volume manga by Ichigo Takano Sensei has a main character that’s similar to Takemichi Hanagaki, the main guy of Tokyo Revengers. They both are the victims of the time travel phenomenon, but the methods are different. Instead of travelling to the past, the main character is informed of the future and has to change her life.
Naho Takamiya, on her first day of school, finds a letter that informs her of her future. She ignores it but soon realizes that it was a legit letter as some events mentioned in the letter start happening. Now that she knows about the future, she has to change it as the future mentioned in the letter is filled with regrets.
4. Charlotte
Before you get angry and say that this manga is nothing like Tokyo Revengers, please give it a read. Jun Maeda Sensei wrote the story, and Haruka Komowata Sensei did the illustrations. It is a short story consisting of only three volumes. So read the manga and decide for yourself if it is similar or not.
If you still don’t want to read it, let us tell you the premise. Yuu Otasaka is a typical run in the mill high-schooler. But he has an extraordinary power that sets him apart. Later in the story, he becomes a delinquent. There are a few other similarities, but stating them will only spoil the story.
3. Rainbow
Many were fascinated by the delinquent part of Tokyo Revengers. And for them, Rainbow is a manga that may seem intriguing. Similar to Tokyo Revengers, the work of George Abe Sensei is centered around a delinquent group of six. The manga is illustrated by Masasumi Kakizaki Sensei and has twenty-two volumes.
The story, unlike Tokyo Revengers, doesn’t have any romantic flare to it. Instead, it tells the story of the six delinquents while also focusing on their daily lives. It also takes a peek into their life in the future. Some may find the plot to be lighthearted, but that’s not the case. Once you read it, you will find the story to be a heavy one.
2. Erased
The concept that made Tokyo Revengers stand out is where the main character is willing to overcome his fears to save his girlfriend. A similar thing is seen in the manga titled Erased. This manga is written by Kei Sanbe Sensei and is completed. With its eight volumes, the story can touch the readers’ core and feel the main character’s pain.
The story is set around Satoru Fujinuma. He has the ability to glimpse five minutes into the future that helps him prevent any severe accidents. But one day, he is sent back eighteen years into the past. Now he has to find and fix the incident that made him return to the past and save his loved ones.
1. Anomaly System Quadrangle
If there is any true successor to Tokyo Revengers, then it has to be the Anomaly System Quadrangle. This manga consists of five volumes and is composed by Azusa Banjou Sensei.
The story is a bit different as the main character, Maki Eiji, is a delinquent who causes Chino Kotoha’s suffering due to his actions. And years after, when he was riddled with guilt, he was offered a second chance at life. He slips back to the past and is determined to fix his mistakes. But doing so will not be a simple task as more secrets are unveiled.
Conclusion
Tokyo Revengers has three principal factors to its story. They are Time Travel, Delinquents and Romance. All three of them might not be present in any other manga, but many deal with at least two of them.
And keeping that in mind, we have made our list. We tried to find the most similarities between the mangas and pointed them out. Try them out for yourself, and we guarantee that you will find them as fascinating as Tokyo Revengers.
