Chapters: 145
Mangaka: Sui Ishida
This is my 1st manga review so I dunno how it'll go.
Well, let's start off with the obvious that after reading the manga, without a doubt I can say that the anime messed up and the manga is a near Masterpiece.
The manga was really great, the dark theme element was perfect where as I found the anime a bit too friendly regarding the blood and gore theme.
PLOT:
The manga handled the plot beautifully, answered every question and had the back-story of most of the important characters which the anime didn't even bother with which I highly enjoyed (I mean everyone enjoys a plot where the loose ends are tied up). Comparing to the anime, S1 was the most canon after that everything pretty much went to hell with the anime (and here I was thinking S2 was good).
Also, the manga did a good job of showing Kaneki's badass personality and development.
Oh, forgot about the music.. Err oh well I liked the SFX mainly swoosh, chomp, pow :V
ARTSTYLE:
I'm mainly an anime watcher and this was my 7th manga so I can't really say much except that the artstyle was very much in-sync with the theme, from happy to Kaneki's rage moments were perfectly drawn (You could make an easy mental picture of that's happening). The artstyle in short was "messy" with no neat boundaries and with alot of heavy brush strokes which in turn gave it a good thriller-horror feel. (Pics Below)
FAVORITE QOUTE:
I’m not the protagonist of a novel or anything…I’m a college student who likes to read, like you could find anywhere. But if, for argument’s sake, you were to write a story with me in the lead role, it would certainly be… a TRAGEDY
- Kaneki Ken
RATING:
I'd rate it 8.7/10
