Story - 8
Now, look, like many other people, I've read Ishida's masterpiece Tokyo Ghoul, and then, hearing it will get a sequel, I've started reading TG:re . Now , many of you probably have this question, is the manga worth reading?
I'll answer honestly, if you're a TG or an Ishida fan, you could say it's worth reading.
The story is quite good, I date not say perfect, but it is good, it has real plot, it has twists, it quite keeps you on the edge, waiting for more, but me, being the very critic person I am, I will always ask for more. It starts off very slowly compared to it's prequel, but as you move on, by Ch 30 you'll realize that it's pretty good.
But as all sequels, it felt a little bit forced, nonetheless, Ishida hasn't failed to amaze me with his plot writing skills, and in the end, I'm sure as it happened in Tokyo Ghoul, everything will fall into place, like a big puzzle.
Art - 10
Being an amateur artist myself, I appreciate alot of art, but mostly what I do see mostly, is how much work and detail is put into this manga.
Ishida probably draws while he's sleeping, because man, his characters have life when you're reading the manga. It's like they're in front of you laughing maniacally or shouting, laughing , etc. you get my point.
His drawing style is quite different from other mangaka's , I must say his drawing style is quite somber, grim sometimes, which helps the universe the characters live in be better understood.
Characters - 8
Now look, the characters, they are all right, there is much detail put into their appereance and their back stories, which amazes me. But I'm not a big fan of the Quinx Squad, I feel like the protagonist trying to be their father, it's a little bit cringy to do. I find it cute at times, since Sasaki/Kaneki never got to be a father or a big brother, and it shows a fatherly side of him, but I feel like it doesn't belong with his insane persona.
Look, Kaneki/Sasaki is supposed to be an SS rated ghoul ,bloodthirsty and insane, unable to control himself anymore, instead, he plays father for some children who all surprisingly have family problems, what a coincidence.
I'm sure a lot of people don't mind it, but I do. It's just so not Kaneki.
Enjoyment - 9
To be honest, I enjoy it. As much as I complain about it, it simply is an enjoyable manga, with a few smart jokes here and there. It's a fun ride with feels and everything you've experienced in TG, prepare your tissues, since you'll probably experience it x2 here.
I'm sorry if it seems I complain too much about the series, but it's minor things that kind of bother me sometimes, since I see no need for some changes.
Overall - 9
Let me just say this, I find it a good manga, Ishida did not disappoint me, and I'm happy about it because most of the times, sequels to a good story are shitty. It's a good manga, but before reading it, make sure you've read Tokyo Ghoul first, and don't be lazy and watch the anime, you'll be brainf*cked , the anime adaptation to this gorgeous manga series is not so good, even though it had potential, since the first season isn't too bad, it's the second season that messed it all up.
Good luck reading~
Hope you enjoy the story !!
