One thing I must say, THIS IS A GOOD MANGA, WORTH READING AND REREADING. Although it seems a little boring at first, it turns out really interesting. In my humble opinion, Tokyo Ghoul demands a patient reader.
Story: 8
it is just as complicated as it needs to be, or a little more. Ishida Sui hates plot holes from what I see. Also the psychological part of the story is detailed and quite interesting, and it doesn't involve just the protagonist, it involves many other characters with their various twisted personalities. I liked the fact that Ishida uses Tarot Cards meanings. This is why I said it demands a patient reader; the mangaka includes numbers into some details like hair cliffs, tattous, nickle belts... sometimes you can't notice them until you reread it, but they give you a better understanding on the character or what happens next.
Art: 7
this is one manga where you can see art improvement between the first volumes, and fight scenes art improvement in the last volumes and the sequel. Overall the art style is more human-like than manga-like, and I praise Ishida San for his work on the backgrounds and the general views which many other mangaka find boring and don't give to it much effort.
Characters: 9
Ishida Sui's strengths are mostly character design and character developement. Each character is unique and even the minor ones got a detailed design. The only flaw is that there are too many of them that sometimes I forget their names.
Enjoy reading this manga while listening to the soundtarck of the anime, because that's the only thing the anime is good for :) and don't forget to read the sequel.
