After weeks I've heard people talking about tokyo ghoul and they described it as "Epic" "Tragic" and "Really fucking Cool", I was very confused because I could never see a horror genre as "epic" experience so then after I watched the LAST episode of season 12, I was eager to read the manga.
10/10 Story: When reading the first volume, you WILL think that it's a horror genre and you will be expecting blood, flesh, crazy eating ghouls, etc. But it isn't like that after volume 7, it gets more depressing and story gets more compelling and you will glued onto Kaneki Ken (Protagonist) till the end. He's such a unforgettable character and he's the definition of the word "tragedy". Most of the times it's bunch of reading for you people who will be reading Tokyo Ghoul for the first time but most of the dialogues has a meaning to the character and the story and isn't forced just so the character can talk because he/she hasn't talked in a while.
10/10 Art: If story won't please you then I assure you that the art will keep you reading because the art in the manga is unique and far better than any other mangas I've read. That may be because Ishida Sui was making tattoos before writing Tokyo Ghoul. Since the manga has 144 chapters, the art gets better after each volume. The masks, the facial expression, the CCG weapons, there's so much details in the pictures that sometimes Ishida Sui hides secret messages that most of us probably have missed. (I've only found two)
10/10 Character: AHH the character development, it's so beautiful. Like I said before, Kaneki Ken is a very memorable character. After you've read the manga, and someone mentions Tokyo Ghoul to you, Kaneki Ken will be the name that comes first in your head. Every single character has a role to the story and not just a "filler" character or forced into the story. Kaneki Ken motivations to protect the ones he loves becomes stronger and stronger and it will drag you into the story and care for him.
Enjoyment: Can't explain my enjoyments for this manga. Just hands down. Best manga of the year and possibly best manga of the decade.
If you want a serious, depressing, compelling, Worth-reading, life changing (depends on you) and tearful story. Then Tokyo Ghoul is the one for you. The end is just a smack in the face for all fans and NO WORRIES. There's a sequel.
Tokyo Ghoul Manga might aswell be written into a novel. Just sees this as a novel with pictures.
