Definitely the best volume of the series so far!

The main focus of vol. 4 is Shu Tsukiyama and how he is still struggling to deal with the loss of Kaneki. We see him on the verge of despair and spiralling into depression but thanks to Kanae Von Rosewald (an orphan who was taken in by the Tsukiyama family as a servant).
Their loyalty towards Shu is unwavering and even slightly fanatical at times, and thanks to Shu's "little mouse" (Chie Hori from first series) who informs Kanae that Kaneki is still alive but due to memory loss is now a Ghoul Investigator known as Haise Sasaki, and having shown Shu some photographs as evidence, Shu quickly finds he has a new lease of life and will do anything to get time alone with Kaneki again.

Elsewhere we see the introduction of a (new)? character - Shiki Kijima, an Assistant Special Investigator who is renowned for his sadistic torturing methods on ghouls...who has been hired to work with Sasaki on the Rose Case (to find out which ghouls are connected to the Rosewald family).

There was a lot of action (as always) in this volume and I personally thought this storyline was stronger - I didn't find the action scenes were overly-long or confusing, I'm really interested to find out about Tsukiyama and Kaneki's future relationship (I'm guessing eventually he will remember he's Kaneki), Shirazu using his new Nutcracker quinque, the relationship between Mutsuki and the Torso (eek!) and just about Urie in general...I'm not sure why but I'm not ruling him out becoming a villain....and of course...there's Uta...and the whole clan at Antieku who are just about to be reunited with Tsukiyama.

Ah, really excited to carry on with this series now after the disappointing third volume...

There was a little too much going on in this volume for me to keep all the details straight. A lot of new characters mixing with old ones which could get a bit confusing at times. Although, there is definitely something brewing which I am pretty sure will be a lot of fun! Still really liking this series, but it just got a bit convoluted in this volume.

Also, I am still waiting for more to happen with Saiko, I really like her character for some reason. There seems to be a little hint thrown in for some possible developments, so I am looking forward to seeing what happens with her next!
