About this ebook

Shy Ken Kaneki is thrilled to go on a date with the beautiful Rize. But it turns out that she’s only interested in his body—eating it, that is. 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. -- VIZ Media

Ratings and reviews

One of the greatest anime/manga I have ever followed ever since my childhood favorite: The Naruto series. Great horror and amazing story line about the separate yet simultaneous species of human and ghoul. Me and my friends speak about Ishida's perfect creation all the time. For me, Tokyo Ghoul is a classic in anime history. By the way, What happened to Season 3/ Tokyo Ghoul:re? It sucks. Other than that, I love Tokyo Ghoul! Nothing is completely perfect so 4 wholesome ⭐⭐⭐⭐!

The illustrator and author is drastically untalented and I have doubts that the publisher of this work paid any attention when signing them on. The writer should spend his time studying more on how to write a story rather than trying so hard to design an aesthetic to please an audience. I suggest reading Anne Radcliffes - The Italian. That would be time better spent.

If you want to start a dark fantasy seinen manga of tragedy, love, friendship, betrayal, and bloody action, you should start here. Every panel is interesting to see and the story progresses at an excellent pace. I cannot wait until I can hold the physical copy in my hand or for the next volumes! ^_^
