This is a review of the entire series.
Tokyo Ghoul begins with a streak of incredibly bad luck disguised as good luck. Reports of strange murders involving cannibalism and monster attacks have been haunting the city of Tokyo. What started as rumors quickly becomes reality as more and more victims show up dead. The creatures behind the attacks are believed to be ghouls. They don’t quite fit the normal definition of ghouls, they’re not hideous, rotting, undead monstrosities. They look like humans, they talk like humans, they act and even pretend to eat like normal humans, there’s no way of telling a ghoul from a human until you end up as their next meal. Ken Kaneki and his childhood friend Hide continue to laugh the incidents off as superstitious rumors and continue about their daily life as they normally would.
Things start to seem too good to be true when the shy and socially awkward bookworm Kaneki scores a date with the girl of his dreams, a beautiful, mature and intelligent young woman named Rize. Not only is Rize completely out of Kaneki’s league, but she also happens to share his infatuation with complex horror literature and philosophy. Things seem to be going unusually well for Kaneki, but it turns out that his lovely date is only interested in his body—eating his body, to be more specific. (And not in the hot kinky way either.)
Rize is not only an extremely dangerous ghoul, but she’s what’s known as a binge eater; ghouls that kill and consume without remorse or concern of the population or the safety of other ghouls. She’s the one responsible for most of the brutal killings and cannibalism incidents in the area and poor Kaneki just so happens to be her latest target. Just like that, a dream date quickly descends into a bloody nightmare as Kaneki is nearly tortured to death by Rize in an empty construction site where no one can hear his cries of pain.
Kaneki seems to get lucky when Rize slams him around the construction site and ends up knocking a large hunk of metal down on herself from all the destruction she caused, and ends up killing herself by accident just before she can deliver the final blow to Kaneki. The commotion causes a disturbance in the neighborhood and police are called to investigate the scene. The nearly dead Kaneki is rushed to the hospital along with the corpse of the bloodthirsty ghoul Rize so her organs can be transplanted into Kaneki.
All’s well that ends well, right? Wrong. The streak of bad luck continues. The morally questionable rescue of Kaneki ends up transforming him into the first half-human half-ghoul hybrid because of the ghoul organs implanted in his body. Losing his taste for his favorite foods, developing violent urges and twisted desires to consume the flesh of his fellow humans, Kaneki is forcefully pulled into the demented underworld of ghoul society which has existed alongside human society for many years in secret.
Kaneki has no choice but to adapt to the ways of the ghouls if he wants to survive, all while keeping his identity a secret and trying to live a normal human life. Thus begins a tragic horror story where a psychologically tortured boy is constantly exposed to the worst aspects of human nature and the savagery of ghoul society. Is Kaneki the first ever outcast that doesn’t belong to human or ghoul society, or is he the first and only person that has the potential to bring the two clashing societies together? Kaneki begins to realize that there’s more to the incident with Rize and the surgery that changed him forever, and he slowly unravels the secrets of the nastiest ghouls and the most corrupt humans working in mysterious ways behind the scenes. After a while, you’ll begin to question who the real monsters are.
Caught between two dangerous worlds, Kaneki grows through immeasurable suffering, bridging the gap between humans and ghouls by learning to love and fear them in equal measure. Tokyo Ghoul builds an emotional story about morality, discrimination and self-discovery. It utilizes the literary themes of Kafka such as metamorphosis and the exploration of absolute gray morality.
Kaneki’s development is literally an emotional roller coaster. He goes through so many changes in beliefs, morals, personality and identity that he struggles to keep track of who he really is as all of the different sides of himself constantly try to conquer and slaughter each other in his severely fractured brain. He can’t decide if he wants to fight against humans for the sake of the ghouls, to fight against ghouls for the sake of humans, or try to come up with some crazy master plan to fight against both of them or neither of them in order to find a way to stop the conflict between all sides once and for all. All these confusing thoughts and morals create a storm inside him and the greatest conflict of all is perhaps the conflict of Kaneki’s own conflicted sense of identity.
Overall, the story has a strong start that immediately throws you into a dark and twisted drama, a tedious middle section that's held back by pacing issues, poorly explained terminology and too many unimportant side characters that don’t get nearly enough development or screen time, but it gets back on its feet with a really strong final few arcs that leave you with many questions and potential answers regarding human morality. It has an impressively large cast connected by limitless plot twists and clever intricacies, deep protagonists with many layers, flashy fight scenes with unique weapons and bodily horror mechanics called Kagune, and it pulls on the heartstrings as you slowly begin to realize that humans and ghouls have a lot more in common than either one would care to admit.

I gave this book a 5 star because I find it really interesting because It's what I enjoy reading it has action and everything. I'd say the manga is kinda has it differences and similarities. So basically the main character is Ken Kaneki his half human and a ghoul. So bahahha and he becomes a dove and he has squad called "Quinx squad" it's basically it's a squad that are ghouls that are doves and Kaneki is guiding them his obviously the leader. Some of the members can handle their "powers" and some haven't really got used to it. Out of everybody my favorite character is Ken kaneki I just enjoy his story and everything about him he's badass in my opinion. Overall I’d definitely recommend this manga is very and you should read every single book of the series. Btw I’d say the anime is better than the manga that’s my opinion

Confusing in places! Strange flashbacks that are hard to understand interrupt a good read.
For an English reader, the names are hard to get a grip of especially when the author flits between first, second and nick names frequently.
Ultimately a great story though! Will carry on reading as there are only 5 in the series. Unfortunately this (Tokyo Ghoul RE) is a sequel series to the main Tokyo Ghoul series which I didn’t know, and haven’t read! (Face palm). However! It gives enough that you can read it as a stand alone series and still work out what the CCG is!
It’s enjoyable! Not as scary or grown up as I would have liked but did make me smile at some of the humour.
There are also a few typos (maybe 3 in the whole book) that I noticed too which is rare! There is a page of case notes written by a less educated character which contains many but that is intentional and I’m not talking about that part!
I would recommend this to a more experienced manga reader, as a challenge or to diversify a collection. Happy reading!

I will consider this as the whole 16 books series. I've read it all. It's beautiful. I love the character evolution and everything. Great piece.

Oli ihan ok. Ei ehkä ihan ole mun juttu nämä Mangasarjakuvat kuitenkaan.

June 7, 2019So good! I am pretty sure this is one of the first Japanese comic books I have finished, since the reading technique always confuses me. I am pretty sure I have finally gotten it down, though.
Anyway, the book is now turning Tokyo Ghouls: Re into a series I would like to keep reading. After 1 day, I have finished the book, and I'm already searching for merchants and more of the books.
I believe reading in others ways helps expand you brain (which is probably why I had a minor headache at the end, or because I didn't stop for a drink of water), and if you want to be sufficient in life, this is a good was to start.

Great addition to the original series.

Different from the current popular ones. It embraces gore without exaggerating it. I simply had a good time reading this

Disappointed, this series really fell apart, especially as we got closer to the ending.
