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!

Good introduction to the series. I liked the art style, and the main character was likeable enough to willingly follow throughout the series. I hope we get to see more of the friendship between Hide and Ken as the manga continues.

I enjoyed the story, but it was too gory for me and there were a lot of pages where I couldn’t tell what was happening. Not sure if I’ll continue with the series.

Lots of blood, dead bodies, a beheading, and one character forcing another character to eat human flesh. If you can’t do gore, maybe don’t read this one.
