| This manga is simply amazing. From the character development, foreshadowing, the atmosphere it was resonating, the amazing cast, the story and art itself. Throughout this journey of reading this manga, i had my jaw drop and my mind blown with the constant obstacles our beloved tragic protagonist kaneki had to endure. Very few mangakas can actually make a reader feel or even relate to the main character/characters to this extent and Ishida-sensei is one of those few. I am definitely looking forward to reading re |
 |
| Awesome! 10/10 Now going to :re |
 |
| JESUS, KAJASDKLAKLDADKKKKKKKAAAAA. |
  |
| Well, the first time I cry reading Tokyo Ghoul was with this last scene of Juuzou + Shinohara. i.i Now, running to read :re. PRAY FOR ME. 9/10 |
|
| Not gonna lie from about chapter 80. I tuned out of the manga. I just could not really focus on it and enjoy it as much as the first couple of arcs. I'm not sure if I will enjoy :Re, I always thought the investigator side of the story is dull. Took me too long to finish this manga considering I first started reading it before the anime was even announced. |
 |
| Aww. Why do the characters I like have to end up being evil? :( |

| Meh, I can't really say I was too into the final arc of the manga with the final battle at Anteiku. Hopefully we get some insight in Re. I did enjoy reading this for the most part, it was better than the anime. I'll give it a 8.75/10 for now. |

| The aftermath of the intense Anteiku Raid shook both Investigators and Ghouls to the core. Gori reveals that he really was a fangirl of Amon and is deeply saddened by his death while Akira tried to hold in the sorrow but she caved in eventually. It's tragic to see her lose both the love of her life and her long-time academic rival and shed pained tears over their passing. Juuzou finally realizing how much of a father Shinohara was to him only made it more devastating to find out that he'll never wake up again. The Manager was taken to Aogiri to be modified on by Kanou along with a lot of kidnapped Investigators that disappeared in the battle. Amon might've been declared dead but we didn't see him get killed just like Hide was so there might be something going on soon. After the operation, Kaneki was deemed erased by the CCG and it seems that Arima has been given ownership of something. It could've been a new Quinque made of you-know-who but I don't want to convince myself that it is too much. Aogiri wasn't the ones responsible for turning Kaneki into a Ghoul after all. Itori, Uta, Nico, Souta, and even Roma was part of the previously annihilated clown group Pierrot and they've been pulling the strings behind many of the story's events all along. It makes sense why Studio Pierrot decided to adapt this one now~ Anteiku's demolished but Touka continues to hope that he'll come back. After that gruesome two-eye removal of Kaneki, they didn't show him in the last chapter but his Centipede monologue was strewn throughout it. He might have his own comeback real soon. Tsukiyama will spend his days crying his eyes out until that happens though. With this finished, I can finally get to watching the re anime and perhaps read it afterwards ♡ |
 |
| What an ending. 8,4/10 |
| Akira's tears were too much, poor girl. Damn clowns! Sasaki appeared! |

| First time rereading Tokyo Ghoul since it's original run. While I have changed throughout the past 5 years of this series ending, my love for it has not. This series was working itself up to be such a masterpiece and Tokyo Ghoul:re shat all over that. If Ishida ended the whole story with this chapter I would not be mad, even though there would be so many loose ends (such as Aogiri tree, the clowns, what happened to Hide, what happened to the investigators, etc) we would have, in my opinion, one of the best conclusions of a tragedy story for the character Ken Kaneki. But rereading this, it's clear to me that Ishida always had a part 2 in mind, so much foreshadowing and set ups for future plot points. Everything about the original Tokyo Ghoul is so good, the artwork, the story, the characters, the setting, the moral battle between Ghouls and Humans is so intriguing because they're not that different. This is why Kaneki himself is such a good character, acting as a bridge between the two, we see his character develop throughout the 143 chapters as he has to adapt to the violent Ghoul lifestyle. It's sad how Kaneki almost becomes a parody of himself towards the end of :re. The anime for Tokyo Ghoul gets me so upset, I really hope it gets a reboot one day because it deserves it. This is one series that I will always urge people to read the manga for. It is so much better than the anime in every way possible. |
| That was my first manga ever I gotta say it was a good start 10/10 was better than the anime adaptation |
| ... Was the clown that killed Ken's mother, Shuu?... Damn. Time to reread Tokyo Ghoul:re and resume it from chapter 86 and finally complete it. |
| Rereading this manga (May 22, 2020-May 25, 2020), I realize how amazing it is with its subtle hints of foreshadowing and well based characters of their character through their origins, along with the complex lore of ghouls. It felt like an 8/10 at first because I was delusional into thinking it was too similar to the anime, but now I believe it's worth a 9/10. Arguably a 10. |
| My expectations when I started to read this manga last year where mild, despite knowing its popularity and praise, but I was still a bit disappointed with the beginning, not that it was bad, but after that torture scene, the development for Ken really picks it up, and I even started to enjoy CCG focuses chapters more, especially Akira. Action and art on Tokyo Ghoul were always something I was looking forward and being this the first work of the mangaka, he certainly deserves a lot of credit there, certainly not easy to create something as visceral, and besides, despite my initial dislike for the focus on the human side, it is nice to see him going for it and exploring heavily both views. After Ken's torture scenes, the changes really had him become a more interesting main character, he literally broke free. The story really goes an unpredictable path in the second half, builds up on some mysteries while leaving a lot opened... I m not mad at all, considering we have a sequel I can pick right away, even if I see many saying it is not as good as the first one. Alot of the world-building is already accomplished and I now definitly want to see the threads unfolding. Still, don't think the manga is deserving of all the popularity paired with its score, but it sure did a pretty good job and had me suck in, to the point I did read most of the volumes binging like crazy. Psyched for the sequel even if it is not as good (already know some spoilers). I do need to see my ship sail, which I know it does, plus I do want to find more about Rize and answers to all those questions surrounding Arima and Etu. 8.7/10 = 9 |
 |
| Still don't get why it's rated so high lol. Just got worse as it progressed and the ending was just random shite. Amon dying out of nowhere? WTF???? |
| "There's no shame in falling down... true shame is to not stand up again!" |
| I like this ending than the anime adap. |
 |
| Everyone is mourning the dead. And sadly know one knows who won this fight. They took Yoshimura to Kano! I forgot Eto was Aogiri. "The world is... Wrong" The clowns are crazy. Roma was also a clown in the end. Akira still visits Mado's grave. Sasaki? Don't tell me... |
| --AbiSa-- |
| So this is how the Tokyo Ghoul manga ends... AMAZING I only got to see the 1st season of the anime and not the 2nd. And well I had seen that they had changed things and that's why I started to read the manga and...WOW There are so many things in addition to the great drawing, awesome. Well now I will read Tokyo Ghoul:re |
| Huh, it’s weird for me to read a comment I wrote 6 YEARS ago. Oh god, the cringe. I actually did my first reread of Tokyo Ghoul a few months back and umm, IT FUCKING SUCKS!! Apparently I have it at a 3 now. |
 |
| I don't know how to feel abt the ending there's still so many unanswered questions so yea time to read the continuation |
| Was a very good journey............ |
 For your Information: |
| Damn what a huge waste of time this was. Surprisingly boring to read despite some interesting ideas. The action scenes arent that well done, atleast the art got better over time. I honestly have no idea how to describe it but it feels like nothing happens in atleast 100 of the chapters, as if unimportant side characters talk about unimportant things all the time. Maybe 10 chapters or so were actually good. The ending is super unsatisfying, its not even worth calling it an ending. Now I know Re exists but I would have imagined this to be a little bit more conclusive anyway. Kaneki going insane over his ghoul cannibalism was interesting but did not matter in the end, Touka just ceases to exist as a character, her family drama with her brother just leads nowhere, loads of CCG guys talk non stop but they are all basically irrelevant, suddenly relevant CCG guys pop up but have no backstory or character, since way too many CCG guys get named I just stopped caring honestly, I think erasing the term "ghoul investigator" would cut the word count in half, the Rize subplot was interesting but had like 3 chapters of content and obviously had no conclusion, the "who killed Rize" subplot just got somewhat solved but in a way which makes it not matter at all, Amons and Kanekis shared ideals lead nowhere, the doctor was apparently the main driving force of the plot but had also only 5 chapters or so, one eyed owl plot left open, Kaneki eating hide in the end can only be described as worthless shock moment, the entire part with Kanekis group post Anteiku was weird af honestly, Aogiri Tree did nothing really.. 143 chapters is a long time but it wasnt used well at all, this makes me really hesitant to read Re which is another 200 chapters only to get some closure for this story.. Apparently this is a seinen but it feels way too much like a typical shounen for me. The first part of the story was decent enough but then just way too many characters and topics get introduced without following up on any of them. Im going to say it, the anime was better (season 1 atleast) and season 2 going original was atleast not worse than what the manga did. 6/10 |

| I kind of felt like I had to read this series at some point especially since I own a few volumes of it yet don't really remember much about it so I gave it an another shot. I feel like I would have collected them all as the local translation came out but I lost interest in animanga around that time. I've always dismissed it as an "edgy middle-schooler's favourite" -type series but I did enjoy it a lot more than I expected to when I ignored those prejudices although that view isn't completely wrong. I recall that the anime adaptation was way worse and honestly I have a hard time imagining how they managed to fit 14 volumes into 12 episodes without missing the things I liked about the manga like the atmosphere conveyed through the artstyle. On a side note, I was a bit disappointed that the "meme panel" of Kaneki crying (I think it's him?) didn't appear in the first part lol. Maybe I'm not taking this series too seriously, partly because I really didn't feel any connections to the characters, I kind of just watched the tragedy unfold. Sorry for rambling about an over a decade old series' first part lol Comander-07 said: Apparently this is a seinen but it feels way too much like a typical shounen for me. Oh wow, MAL actually lists this series as a seinen lol. I've always considered it as a "dark shounen" (was that a thing?) like Attack on Titan. I also find it kind of funny how you gave the series a surprisingly high score considering your final thoughts were mostly negatives. Overall it was a good October read because it kind of fits the Halloween mood, although we don't really celebrate it here. |
Uksi said: I did enjoy the story to a degree, I really liked the anime back when it aired, Im mainly just disappointed it wasnt better and wasted potential. So a 6 seemed "fine", but you are right, my review really sounds more negative. Im really conflicted about how to rate it though. I guess I should drop it down to 5, but when giving scores that low people tend to see you as a hater and ignore your opinion by default.I kind of felt like I had to read this series at some point especially since I own a few volumes of it yet don't really remember much about it so I gave it an another shot.

Re just was more of the same when it comes to its problems. Have you read that as well? Some parts of it are really really good, but then it drags on and on and suddenly the ending gets rushed. So exactly what happened with TG already. Seriously WTF is this manga? How does this happen twice in a row, how do you make a sequel for a manga you didnt know how to end, only for the sequel to be even longer and have just as much of a weird ending because you made the exact same mistake of missing your way out twice. TG really has some pretty damn good parts, I would say RE has some amazing parts even, pure KINO. But when you read 340 chapters only to get a rushed ending twice, it just leaves a sour taste in your mouth so the general feeling is one huge "eh?". It feels like 2 different authors wrote this story, as if the episode director for half the show was an absolute GOAT like Shinbou but the overall storyboard was done by a newbie. |

No, I've never gotten that far into the series so I can't really say anything about the sequel. But yeah, I forgived some unclosed plot points considering it builds up to an another part but it's a shame if Re also leaves the reader feeling somewhat empty and confused. Maybe endings just aren't Ishida's stronger points :D |
| Peak. I just realized Sen Takatsuki is Eto when I read her info before the last page lol |
 |
| Tokyo Ghoul was one heck of a manga. So much different and better than the anime. Can't wait to read part two!!! |
