A review by pgmoon
Tokyo Ghoul, Tome 1 by Sui Ishida
4.0
I was looking for a new manga to read after finishing Fullmetal Alchemist. I've been an avid anime fan, but never got around to reading manga until recently. I was recommended this by a friend, and due to its popularity, picked it up. I can honestly say,Tokyo Ghoul does not disappoint!
Having only read the first volume, I can't say too much about the plot, but it mostly centers around a young man named Ken who attends college. One night, he is bitten by what is known as a ghoul, an almost monsterlike human that feeds on its own kind's flesh. Sure enough, Ken receives these same cravings, and becomes a bridge between the human world and the ghoul world.
Ishida's intense action scenes and disturbing illustrations add to the world of the story, and combined with its humor, create a dark, disturbing, but still familiar world for many lovers of manga to enjoy. I look forward to reading more in this series.
