Wow. This book is outstanding! The way Sui Ishida created effect with the darkness of the borders depending on the scene was magnificent, a very smart way to captivate readers. The characters really make you gasp when they do something unexpected (*cough cough* Rize). This manga will definitely leave you wanting more!
10/10 would recommend and read again!

I’m doing a reread of Tokyo Ghoul and just rereading it is just reminding me how good the series is. I watched the anime first before reading the manga and it’s just so insane how many details the anime has left out. I am truly hoping Tokyo Ghoul get a reboot in the future so everyone can see how wonderful the series is.

I enjoyed this one but I think it is because it gave something a little different from vampires,werewolves and zombies. But even though Ghouls to me are very close to Zombies this had a neat twist to it. I don't know why but I wanted him to put coffee on his rice and such and enjoy it. Like the coffee would be a salt to him. carrying a little thing of coffee. I am thinking of going to read the other books from this manga

Tokyo Ghoul has been on my list for a long time and as my first real foray into horror manga, this didn’t disappoint in the slightest. I was legitimately terrified at points whilst reading it but I also couldn’t put it down. The illustrations in this are absolutely insane and add so much to the horror of the ghouls, making Kaneki’s struggles of being both ghoul and human, even more frightened to the reader. The use of the Kafka story as a sort of parallel with Kaneki’s own story works so well and the moment when Kaneki woke up and he first had the eye was genuinely brilliant! Cannot wait to see what happens next!

El primer volumen me ha gustado mucho. Tiene muchos lazos con La Metamorfosis, lo cual ha sido curioso porque justo me empecé a leer ambos ayer.
Quiero seguir leyéndome el manga, a ver cómo avanza. Me gustan mucho el protagonista y su amigo, y la camarera (todavía no me sé los nombres, pero ya me los aprenderé).
