It is an incredibly gripping storyline and really makes the reader ponder what they would do in Kaneki’s shoes. I love how his struggle of living with a human mind in a ghoul body is the focus of this volume. In the manga he is painted as a quiet introvert who really just aims to live peacefully.

In the anime he came off as a shy, helpless crybaby. I much prefer how Kaneki is represented in the manga than the anime already. Every blow, punch, burst of anger, sadness is all felt through how well everything is illustrated. However, that is fine as the way that they are drawn gives them so much life. I would not say that any of the character designs come off as super original. Dark black soaks the page as Ishida uses it to paint this dark version of Tokyo to life. Enough about me though, let’s talk about this volume. Although it took me some time to get around to actually read them. I bought the collection that has all the volumes, 1 through 14. I had recently started my manga reading journey that year so I figured why not read the critically acclaimed Tokyo Ghoul series. “Why don’t I just read the manga?” I thought to myself. The one thing I couldn’t help but think was what a waste of potential. Although, the first season does do a fairly good job. I had seen much, much more anime by that time and it was fairly easy for me to find many issues with the anime. The second watch did not exactly go as well as the first. Fast forward to the summer of last year and I rewatched all of Tokyo Ghoul again to prepare for the last season of Tokyo Ghoul re.

My eyes had been opened to the world of Japanese entertainment. The animations, the emotion in the voice acting, the music. I was absolutely amazed with what I was seeing. Tokyo Ghoul was the first anime I saw and really considered it “anime”. I had seen episodes of Pokémon and some episodes of Dragon Ball as a child, but I really do not even remember much. It was the first anime I had ever really seen. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.I saw the Tokyo Ghoul anime for the first time in 2016. A grotesque action & horror story about a reluctant monster - half-human half-ghoul. When a morally questionable rescue transforms him into the first half-human half-Ghoul hybrid, Ken is drawn into the dark and violent world of Ghouls, which exists alongside our own. But it turns out that she's only interested in his body-eating it, that is. Shy Ken Kaneki is thrilled to go on a date with the beautiful Rize. Trapped between two worlds, he must survive Ghoul turf wars, learn more about Ghoul society and master his new powers. Ken Kaneki is an ordinary college student until a violent encounter turns him into the first half-human half-ghoul hybrid. Ghouls live among us, the same as normal people in every way-except their craving for human flesh.
