Definitivamente ahora sí estoy sumergido en la historia.
Sí, ahora sí pude adentrarme por fin en la historia. Ahora sí estoy realmente disfrutando con todo el gusto del mundo. El dibujo está bestial, insano y oscurísimo con batallas interesantes y emocionales.

Este volumen representa otra vez todo lo que es para mí Tokyo Ghoul: emoción y muchísima acción sin freno. Enfrentamientos en los que se entrega todo y en el que hay uno que otro sentimiento guardado detrás de cada movimiento cuidadosamente elegido. Ahora sí puedo decir que ya hizo click cuando veo a Hinami Fuegochi y Juuzou Suzuya en acción, cuando entiendo al egoísta de Urie, cuando veo más cercano a Mutsuki con sus problemas y cuando al fin parece que en Sasaki ya está despertando el viejo Kaneki que necesitamos ver.

Y si no es mucho pedir, si me trajiste a un Takizawa tan demencial por lo menos trae de vuelta a Amon así sea en las misma condiciones. No quiero perder las esperanzas de que ande por ahí vivo.

This installment was like 200+ pages of pure carnage, there really wasn't much of a story in this one but it did offer some character development and I really liked the battles.

I'm looking forward to reading Vol. 4!

• side note for faithful followers.

My reading has slowed down drastically because I'm back to work and doing 40+ hours and hitting 30.000+ steps daily. :|

Still here though, just having difficulty keeping caught up.

Hope you're all reading something enjoyable! :)

THIS IS DOWNRIGHT HORRIFYING (i love it)

i think it’s safe to say that i’m enjoying the :re series more than the first series which is so, so surprising considering i *love* the first Tokyo Ghoul series

i think :re pretty much improves on everything i didn’t like from the original series, which i can’t really talk about without getting spoiler-y, but to sum it up:
- the fight scenes are clearer
- the character intros are better!
- there isn’t a character i don’t like reading about
- no infodump-heavy chapters (yet!!)
- :re is waaay darker imo (i know, i didn’t think it was possible either)

what i personally didn’t like about the first Tokyo Ghoul series were the chapters featuring the CCG agents, but moving the entire setting of the series to the CCG and almost completely detaching the audience from the ghoul world is a genius way to start off this series. in Tokyo Ghoul, Kaneki is introduced to the ghoul world and we (the audience) are pretty much supposed to think of the CCG as the “villains” in a way for not seeing ghouls as individuals but rather as a race of creatures to be eradicated no matter what. in :re, through Haise (Kaneki) and his team, we get to see things from the CCG’s perspective and the focus shifts to the ghouls being the proper “villains” (at least, so far). so now i’m just confused about who’s right and who’s wrong but.. in a good way?

the plot-twists and revelations are still as unexpectedly heartbreaking as ever and this world is still as fucked up as i remember. 5 stars lol

Cool, beautiful and all that but also VERY confusing at times. My head hurts.

OH BUT the fact that Sasaki’s subordinates call him “MAMAN” IS MY FAVORITE THING OHMBMBMN so endearing 😩💔

[Sushi (寿司) · Rating 5 out of 5]

La cover fa parte dei miei spoiler di allora ma quando sono andata a leggere ora non mi ricordavo più chi mi ero spoilerizzata. Che in un certo senso è meglio così. Però è totalmente cambiato come ghoul. Wow!

[Lauren · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hmmmmmm...not sure this really contributed much to the overall plot...this volume seemed to be battle scene after battle scene after battle scene which did become a bit tedious.

Also...how the hell are you supposed to keep track with what is going on??! Yes the artwork is great but it can also be really hard to decipher what is going on and who is being pierced by who’s kagune, etc.

I’m also not very happy that a character I really liked in TG is now going to be a main antagonist in this series - talk about changing your perception of someone! :(

But...Haise/Ken - I am completely there for and looking forward to their “progression” in the next volume.

[Annika · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh god, what the hell
Definitely my favorite so far, that was so gripping!

Not gonna lie, I'm actually more invested in the :re series from the beginning than in the previous one.........

[Dani ❤️ Perspective of a Writer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Check out more manga and graphic novel reviews @ Perspective of a Writer...

In the sequel series to Tokyo Ghoul, Haise Sasaki has been tasked with teaching his special squad of half-ghouls how to be outstanding Investigators, but this is complicated by the troublesome personalities of his subordinates and his own uncertain grasp of his Ghoul powers. Will he and the members of his squad become heroes or monsters, taken out by the other squads in the Commission of Counter Ghoul...?!

The art is especially great in this volume with all the battle frames. I was actually more confused by some of the plot frames than I was by the battle ones... so that was quite unexpected. I really love how the mangaka uses the art to SHOW the story.

This volume is all about the battles that result of the raid from volume 2! It's crazy and intense and people are dying and flying and GAH!!!! You just can't believe the battle plot. I have actually been waiting for a volume like this where it is just intense battle after battle.

The tension is SO, SO high in this volume as we are intercut from battle to battle. I was certainly rooting for certain characters to stay alive and trying to ascertain the motivations of the ghouls and why they fought when they did. Really despite not always understanding characters their comings and goings felt quite natural and motivated from internal ideas.

The battles were AUTHENTIC! I had to up my rating because really I was totally wowed... I was partcularly enthralled with how Shizaru figured out his battle and Juzo's role in the battles. In fact I can say that Juzo may eclipse Haise as my favorite character. We get some of his back story in this volume and I just want to know more! I do think the fact I haven't read Tokyo Ghoul affects what I understand but I also think it's only the difference between this being a 4 and a 5 star. I'm not missing THAT much and am quite enjoying the wild ride...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Authenticity
⋆⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tension
⋆⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plot
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Art


This is a multi-volume series and there may be references to the plot of those volumes... SO READ WITH CARE! Here is my review of 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7


Thanks to Edelweiss and Viz Media for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review. This has not influenced my opinion.

[Lauren Lanz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Tokyo Ghoul will forever be one of my favourite mangas. I look up to Ishida's art style more than any other mangaka (even did a giant painting of Kaneki last summer); the maturity in his storytelling and character development outshines that of most other seinens I've read over the years. I really don't know why it's taken me so long to get through :re when I hold such fondness for the original series, but after a long break since reading vol 2, I'm finally motivated to complete them all!

My favourite characters have pretty much solidified themselves. Urie has my whole heart despite going a little crazy for recognition in the last few chapters... I suspect my willingness to forgive his faults is because I'm already so fond of the typically strange characters like my boy Suzuya! It's also really lovely that Ishida has included a transgender character—Mutsuki—so seamlessly into this story; most other popular shonen and seinen manga tend to treat LGBTQ characters as comedic relief, with any substance to them being replaced with jokes or flamboyance. Mutsuki on the other hand is such a well-layered and integral character to the plot, holding a leading role in the CCG ghoul investigations, while their gender identity is almost never brought up other than to build up their backstory. I love him and the entire Mado squad so much!

My only complaint with this volume is one that's consistent with a lot of other manga I read. The action scenes were a little hard to follow in the first half of things, though I wasn't too bothered by that since the separate sequences started becoming more and more distinct each time we panned back to them. It's so difficult to portray large-scale battles in such a condensed media form like manga without things getting a little murky. Otherwise, I highly enjoyed this volume. The new ghoul on this cover is so creepy, I'm worried about how big of a problem he'll become for the CCG, and what his connections to Haise/Kaneki may be after the subtle reveal we got...

[Subham · Rating 2 out of 5]

I think this volume suffers from what I call the bleach syndrome where there are too many characters and too many battles that the author more so the reader gets confused with whats going on, you have the rescue of Mutsuki but then you have another guy named the reaper attacking, Haise to the rescue but then Urie takes her away but a mission distraction to save Mutsuki but he wants credit so he tries to take down another few people, meanwhile another battle s going elsewhere with Nutcracker and somewhere Suzuya is taking out others and god knows we focus back on Haise and as he is losing his inner battles to Ken and losing his identity, Arima to the rescue, also Hinami is there? And there is a sidestory which was still good with Suzuya and his partner Abara and the latter learning to trust his instinct and save his partner. This volume was a fucking mess and the art was still okay but a clear focus makes it the worst volume of TG.

[☠tsukino☠ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ed ecco che ricomincio a capirci poco; un sacco di personaggi, tanta azione e tanta confusione.
Dopo la ricomparsa di Takizawa mi è venuta questa considerazione: anche Kaneki ha subito lo stesso trattamento, è stato torturato in tutti in modi, però non ha mai perso la sua personalità buona e gentile e il suo voler proteggere i suoi amici (e queste qualità sono presenti in tutte le sue versioni). Credo che lui non abbia mai mangiato nessun umano (con la grossa incognita di Hide).
Takizawa invece è totalmente cambiato e perfettamente integrato con i ghoul più perfidi.
Sasaki è sempre diviso tra il suo passato dimenticato e il nuovo presente, anche se sembra aver parzialmente accettato una parte del suo vecchio io. E sono già due volte che mente, una su Nishio e l’altra su Hinami che salva.
Urie è un gran bastardo, Shirazu ha un cuore d’oro, Mutsuki troppo timida e spaventata, Yonebayashi al momento non pervenuta.
Non vedo l’ora di leggere il prossimo ^^

EDIT
Rilettura in attesa di leggere il sesto di TOKYO GHOUL: re
Rileggendo tutto in fila si notano anche le imprecisioni di traduzione.

Per esempio:
all'inizio sono i Pagliacci.
Poi diventano i Clowns.
Alla fine sono i Pierrots

Haise breaks my heart.

[M. Ashraf · Rating 4 out of 5]

So that's what happened to the missing bodies ...
In this volume the first big raid in this sequel on the auction house held by the Madame, but things are not that simple Agori tree were involved with the auction and we get various fights
but the major one is the guy on the cover who turned out to be former agent Takizawa with Sasaki former Kaneki ... and that made me think various bodies were missing from the past series Takizawa was one of them but most important body is Amon so are we gonna see him like that one day ???!!! that would be GREAT!!! :P
Hinami :( what will happen to her will he save her ???!!!

[Dyah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Syok!!!!!
Waktu tahu identitas tokoh yang muncul di cover depan volume ini...
Dan trenyuh banget waktu Hinami ngebelain "kakak"nya. Sweet girl Hinami....T^T

Banyak sekali yang terjadi di volume ini...aku jadi ngga terlalu sebel sama Suzuya lho... sejak awal :Re dan jadi sayang waktu melihat interaksi dia dengan anggota timnya, terutama Hanbee Abara. Salut waktu dia bertarung melawan mama (atau papa?) nya dan dia bilang "aku tidak pernah membencimu...ini cuma urusan pekerjaan." Di sini juga jadi diingatkan lagi kalau senjatanya Suzuya dibuat dari kagune-nya Jason.

Tokoh yang ternyebelin jatuh pada... Washu, yang memimpin penyerangan tempat lelang.
Gila bener, manusia udah dianggap aset aja, yang bisa dibuang seenaknya kalau udah ngga dibutuhin lagi. Batas antara manusia dan ghoul jadi makin buram. Manusia bisa jadi lebih mengerikan daripada ghoul; Ghoul bisa jadi lebih manusiawi daripada manusia. Dan sekarang, ada setengah manusia setengah ghoul (manusia yang di tubuhnya ditanam kagune). Haduhhh...luar biasa.

Vedo la follia di Kaneki fare ritorno!

[James DeSantis · Rating 3 out of 5]

Still not feeling this much. I mean the fights are still epic and brutal and that's great, but the rest? It feels like it's missing the connection to the characters. Maybe I just can't get used to the change. Owell...still decent.

[Auntie Terror · Rating 5 out of 5]

Still a bit annoyed by the Quinks. But it's getting really interesting again, finally, storywise...

[Nea Poulain · Rating 5 out of 5]

This hurt. Takizawa makes me cry. Juzo is awesome. I wanna hug Haise.

[Radwa · Rating 3 out of 5]

Too many characters. (by now, I don't have a grasp on the CCG investigators except for Haise and Mado's squad and Juzo).
Confusing battle scenes, even if they look epic. (most of the time I can't tell who pierced or killed who)

I'm hoping that those lost memories will come back and they'll bring Haise closer to the Ghoul world, because the CCG world is boring. if only we could focus on the suspicious Arima, it might be more interesting.

[Ayesha (Seokjin's Version) ☾ · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.75 stars

I just can't with characters who are used by the people around them even though they were the most innocent at the start of the story. I am crying for what they did to my poor boy Kaneki.

I just think that it's so interesting how much my opinion about the doves has changed. In Tokyo Ghoul, I DESPISED them. But in this book, I am rooting for them over the ghouls? Pretty cool if you ask me.

[Anna · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sasaki e Hinami. E ripartono i feels!
SPOILER
È successo di tutto in questo volume! Continua la battaglia contro l'Aogiri e Madame (che si rivela essere un uomo. Sono sconvolta). Juuzo riesce finalmente ad affrontare il suo passato. Troppo toccante la scena in cui Madame sta per dirgli di non averlo mai amato, e i colleghi della CCG lo finiscono prima che Juuzo possa sentire.

Assistiamo poi al cambiamento di Urie, il quale dopo essersi sottoposto all'intervento per arrivare al 4° livello di quinque ha una specie di crollo psichico o almeno cosí mi è sembrato. Si è capito che ha problemi legati alla morte del padre e il suo intento di eccellere nel lavoro è, in parte, legato alla paura di intralciare Haise e gli altri. Ma Mutsuki è con lui e gli dice che non è vero! E finalmente qualcuno capisce che Mutsuki in realtà è una ragazza!! Mi è partita la ship!? Certo che si! (E pure tra Hinami e Ayato, OVVIAMENTE).
E a proposito di Hinami, che cucciola in questo volume! Anzi no, che badass!! Fa di tutto per proteggere Haise, anche se non è ben sicura che sia davvero Kaneki! Finalmente Haise comincia a rivedere il passato! Chissá gli ritorni la memori e torni a casa! Ahh non vedo l'ora di proseguire!

[rac · Rating 4 out of 5]

hinami <333 she’s so grown up omg. her saying she wouldn’t ever let anything happen to kaneki even if he doesn’t remember her anymore really touched me!! their sibling dynamic is one of the few that i really really like. && her saying ‘i won’t let you fight alone anymore’ was sooooo sad and touching. kaneki losing himself over protecting her and the rest of anteiku and now that everyone can protect themselves he is getting repaid.

:(((((( kanekiiii

the switch from sasaki to kaneki with the finger click.... WAHHHHH. you don’t even understand i love kaneki so much.

also iconic kaneki panel lolzzzz

onky reason this isn’t five star is because the kaneki fight was the only one i really cared about lol.

I'm not really good at memorizing the names of characters, so the previous Tokyo Ghoul volumes might be needed as your companion. I've got to be honest, this volume is somewhat incomprehensible. The tricky part about this volume is that you can't stop rooting for CCG even though you know it's the opposite when you're reading Tokyo Ghoul.
