I love a good manga. My heart was feeling for Kaneki. He’s a sweet guy who love to read and had a major crush on a girl. She turned out to be a ghoul who ate humans just for fun instead of when she needed to eat. This is only Volume 1. I might need to pick up Volume 2 to see how Kaneki makes his new life being part human and part Ghoul work for him.

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.
