I enjoyed this one but I think it is because it gave something a little different from vampires,werewolves and zombies. But even though Ghouls to me are very close to Zombies this had a neat twist to it. I don't know why but I wanted him to put coffee on his rice and such and enjoy it. Like the coffee would be a salt to him. carrying a little thing of coffee. I am thinking of going to read the other books from this manga

this is my first ever manga read, and i was so excited to start this that i started literally the day i got it! i really loved the show, and i’ve heard people say that the manga is better, so i decided to try it out! the characters are just as loveable as they are in the show, and the plot is just *chef’s kiss.* this is a great introduction to the plot and the characters, and obviously not <i>too</i> much action has happened yet. i love the art in this, it looks so cool!

Tokyo Ghoul has been on my list for a long time and as my first real foray into horror manga, this didn’t disappoint in the slightest. I was legitimately terrified at points whilst reading it but I also couldn’t put it down. The illustrations in this are absolutely insane and add so much to the horror of the ghouls, making Kaneki’s struggles of being both ghoul and human, even more frightened to the reader. The use of the Kafka story as a sort of parallel with Kaneki’s own story works so well and the moment when Kaneki woke up and he first had the eye was genuinely brilliant! Cannot wait to see what happens next!

El primer volumen me ha gustado mucho. Tiene muchos lazos con La Metamorfosis, lo cual ha sido curioso porque justo me empecé a leer ambos ayer.
Quiero seguir leyéndome el manga, a ver cómo avanza. Me gustan mucho el protagonista y su amigo, y la camarera (todavía no me sé los nombres, pero ya me los aprenderé).

Wow! Even though I had already watched the anime, it still kept me entertained.
