I didn't really like the Tokyo Ghoul anime tbh. First few episodes were ok, but then it became a complete mess and on top of that, I thought the concept of ghouls was pretty unoriginal. I heard a lot people saying that the TG manga is supposed to be much better, so do you think I might like the manga, even though I didn't like the anime that much (I rated it a 5/10)? Are they that different?

Didn't read the entire manga yet but long story short:

The anime skipped a lot of stuff. I'm up to the first 2 or 3 volumes and yes the manga so far is superior to the anime.

I enjoyed both immensely. That means that even though I enjoyed the anime for what it was, the manga was far superior. The manga is darker, atmospheric, and almost foreboding.

It is much less action oriented in some respects, and includes a lot of foreshadowing. When it does become action and fight oriented it is bloody, brutal, and unforgiving.

The manga flows cleanly and well through its story. It is smooth and clear with its progression, and yet is adds a mysterious wonder though its entire run.

The ending is also different, and much better in some ways. The whole narrative is much more grey than the anime, and the ghouls are not as heroic and wonderful. This allows there sort of antihero persona to be established better with characters such as kaneki and amon.

Well, that is all I have to say.

When you read the manga you will be bound to say that Tokyo Ghoul anime is nothing but a mess. All the characters looks better in the manga. And there are so many amusing and interesting moments and scenes which are skipped in the anime. After watching the anime you will have a lot of questions in your mind. But in the manga everything is cleared.
Those who have watched tokyo Ghoul anime should definitely read the manga.
