Tokyo Ghoul started and ended as an average "seinen", but we had Tokyo Ghoul Re some months later and the average seinen transformed into the typical below average shonen.
I can't understand how as the time of this review both manga have a 8.52 and 8.24 score, when it is so bad, boring and using the same clichés as the typical shonen.
--Spoiler ahead---
First of all we had the most useless and important character at the same time, and no, is not Kaneki. Rize, she gets "killed" at the beginning of the show, just to get kidnapped for getting killed again to get kidnapped over and over ... again...
The main character, Kaneki, I'm not going to talk about his Tokyo Ghoul version but the Re version, he starts the story as another person because he has amnesia FIRST CLICHÉ and we only have started the story. He gets his memory back (of course) and starts doing the same of the previous manga, fighting CCP, helping their ghoul friends...
Now we have Quinx, because it is a shonen so we have to balance the scale power, and after defeating the Aogiri we need a villain so we now have the main antagonist that cames out of nowhere trying to make it a plot twist.
And to finish the manga we have a "shitty" version of the "God tree" arc in the Naruto manga (because it wasn't bad enough in Naruto...) that here is a "dragon" that appears because of convenient plot making it a nonsense.
The only thing good about the manga it's the happy ending, and not even that save the story, so I can't give it more than a 6 score.

---- SPOILER FREE REVIEW---
This is my first ever review and I think it was important to do it with this manga.

The manga starts pretty interesting with a lot of mistery and mindfucks that slowly start to make sense as the story goes on, being a short manga (47 chapters) makes the main story short. And here is where the "problems" begin. I'm not saying that is something bad, but the story changes a lot and it takes a big turn on the final parts of the manga, also, there is a HUGE drop in the drawing quality after 60% of the story the same happens ... with the plot, it seems like the author didn't want to try anymore with the manga or he was sick or something, and it is really sad .
I think is definetely an ok manga for a fast read but it has some serious plot holes and the story pacing it turns weird. Despite that, I expected the manga to end HORRIBLY when I was with a few chapters left because of how the story turned and the quality drop in general, but I actually liked the ending although most people can find it lackluster.

PROS:
-The first chapters are REALLY interesting.
-The story is actually interesting and good for the most part.
-The art of the manga is great on the first half.

CONS:
-The BIG drop on the drawing quality after 60% of the manga (Just compare chapter 1-6 to chapter 38 or beyond). It is really infuriating.
-The plot holes even if they are not massive is still a problem.
-How the story and characters unfolds, there are a few chapters where the story turns a little "awful" and some characters are upsetting and disappointing.
