Synopsis

Explore the world of Tokyo Ghoul with these pros

Ghouls live among us, the same as normal people in every way—except their craving for human flesh.

Ken Kaneki is an ordinary college student until a violent encounter turns him into the first half-human half-ghoul hybrid. Trapped between two worlds, he must survive Ghoul turf wars, learn more about Ghoul society and master his new powers.

Many conflicts and incidents arise involving the clientele of the café Anteiku, where Ghouls gather. Yoshimura, the café's owner, is harboring suspicions about a certain someone. What sort of darkness will that person bring between those who hunt and those who are hunted? This book chronicles six all-new stories from the Tokyo Ghoul universe.

Most light novels that serve as a side story for a populare anime/manga franchise are just cashgrabs, with nothing of much value and with the set expectations of „You’ll get to read about your favourite characters more“, which is what the fans are mostly content with.

The Tokyo Ghoul novels are nice in a way that they would work as a short story collection even if not connected to already successful title. Which is to say, even if you didn’t know any of the characters and only have the knowledge that this takes place in word where both humans and ghouls exist, the content still works ...

Preliminary (12/17 eps)
Tokyo Ghoul:Void was a very entertaining read. Each story had it’s own uniqueness which can stand out on their own.

I highly recommend this book if you are fan of Tokyo Ghoul and if ...
