That might be so, I don't really care.
I watched the anime, it wasn't a good experience, hence I'm not interested in the manga at all.

Huh? The first season is an ok adaptation of it. But it all doesn't matter in the end as I didn't like either of them too much, lol.
The first season is not an ok adaptation. They made Kaneki look even more pathetic and they butchered almost all Aogiri arc. The torture scene lost a lot of shock value and all of the arcs were rushed/mixed/ there was a lot of content important for character development cut. Not to mention prepostrous censorship. They even changed the fucking fight scenes, the fucking fight scenes. Fuck Pierrot.
Here's my response for one user to whom I told why the manga is better if some of you are interested:(IT WAS WRITTEN WHILE FIRST SEASON ENDED):
Tokyo Ghoul anime is rushed as hell and it lacks a lot of character development not just for Kaneki, but for side characters as well. To put it bluntly, it's a rushed mess. They skip or alter a lot of important scenes and Keneki is even more pathetic in the beginning of anime than in the beginning of the manga. The fights are also quite different.
I also hate the fact that it is censored, BD'S are coming out now, but they even edited the plot because of the consorship, due to that we will never get some animated scenes uncensored. For example Yamori doesn't kill a man and a woman who's in love, let's say that he murders a couple of people that are even more close in front of Kaneki's eyes. Not to mention how anime depicts Tsukiyama in Gourmet Arc as less evil, there's a reason why the entire TG manga community calls him trash. The manga has a better shock value if you are looking for gore.
The manga is worth reading since it maintains those details that makes it special and If you think that you saw some epic scenes in the anime, they were just fragments, they are not even close to the real thing that is in the manga. Kaneki's transformation is the best scene of the series and anime screwed it up by cutting some amazing things from the manga, his fight with Yamori was completely different from the manga and his inner monologue was shorter.
I have to mention that S2 will have an anime original ending and the mangaka is working on it, since he hated the first season himself. (Comment: Too bad it turned out to be even a bigger peace of shit)
