Story: 8/10 The story of Tokyo Ghoul isn't exactly unique, however it is still enjoyable regardless. While reading this I was constantly trying to guess what would happen next. Its good about making you wonder where character will end up when this all ends.
Art: 9/10 This manga was a lot of fun for me, the art is always interesting and I just love how expressive the pages are. Sui Ishida is easily one of my favourite artists of all time, even on his tight schedule he was able to draw better than almost all his contemporaries, its a shame we most likely won't see him produce another manga for a very long time.
Characters: 7/10 This characters in Tokyo Ghoul are a mixed bag. Some are layered and interesting while others are generic and cookie cutter. Overall I love most the characters, and the character design of this series is simply fantastic. One thing I can be sure of is you'll me you forget the main cast.
Enjoyment: 10/10 The fight scenes are fantastic, the abilities of Ghouls and the weapons of the investigators are amazingly well drawn and creative. Which makes for some incredible fights and tense moments. All I can say is it was indeed quite a ride. This series has great re-readability.
Flaws: It has somewhat of a weak start, and ends of a HUGE cliffhanger. Some of Kaneki's character development may seem a bit forced. The characters can sometimes look a bit abstract during fights, this is up to opinion and I personally love it but I can see why some people wouldn't.
Overall: 9/10 Don't let the lackluster anime adaptation trick you, I assure you will have a great time with this series. Don't forget there is a sequel series named Tokyo Ghoul: RE
