reading this manga was such a long time coming, i’m so happy to have finally picked this up :’) 

the action scenes had to be my most favorite part, it was so epic. but kaneki’s friendship with hide, as well….that got to me a bit. i can’t wait to see kaneki explore more about himself and the half-ghoul that he’s become.

A truly gory book. Interesting world building and characters though. Definitely a good hook to a larger story.

It’s a book about people who eat people.

The anime didn't do this story justice. Be prepared, it's very dark.

It’s been years since watching the anime and going back and reading the manga brings back many memories. The art style is stunning and I still really like the concept of this story.

If you're looking for any horror mangas, Tokyo Ghoul is definitely up there as a must read. 

I watch season 1 of the anime then started season 2 but stopped midway just to read the manga. It was most definitely worth it, the art in the manga is beautifully scary and captivating. Reminds me a bit of Junji Ito if you are a fan of his art. 

Considering that this is only Volume 1 of the manga, I feel so far the story is being fleshed out. You jump in with meeting the main character Ken Kaneki and from there, we learn fairly quickly how his life turns for the worse. 

Highly recommend for horror fans. Read the manga first then watch the anime!
