******SPOILERS AHEAD******
Reading about The Manager's past added so much clarity to the plot. I've wondered for sometime if the Manager was the Owl, and that was cleared up here! But what's unfortunate is that somehow the CCG has also become aware of such information..
But while tying up one end, they've opened up a brand new question - Is the CCG involved in manufacturing Ghouls? If that's true, it adds a whole new problem to the existing set of issues.
But the part I loved was when Hide and Touka met and talked about Ken. I felt bad for them, a Ghoul and a Human, pining and waiting for the same person. But soon after, my eyes were treated to Touka finally getting to meet Ken. Though Ken is awfully strong now, her words struck him and managed to give her a leeway to tackle him. Way overdue but she managed to knock some sense into him!!
However my happiness was short-lived as the Doves are planning an all-out attack on Anteiku right when Ken has chosen to return. This boy seriously can't seem to catch a break!!

ೃ⁀➷ overall review. this volume was very chill. we learn more about how the aogiri tree was formed and kaneki’s “purpose.” i’m glad that kaneki is self-aware of himself wanting to be the kaneki that he used to be, it’s very refreshing! the story overall is very different from the anime. learning more about yomo and uta’s relationship, which wasn’t even talked about in the anime (i think?). heartstrings we’re definitely pulled, especially with touka and kaneki’s interaction towards the end, LOVE THEM SO MUCH!! more focused on the characters than the plot, and i’m not complaining at all.

I definitely started skimming the big CCG meetings that are introduced in this volume, but I like everything else enough to still give 5 stars.
I remember being really mad at Touka for how she acted in this volume when I first read it (I was 15, wow) but now I'm literally ten years older, and I'm a lot more sympathetic towards her. She's an actual child? Punch him girl, he's being stupid. You've been established as emotionally immature, go off.

Wasn't that invested in the first half, but the second half was phenomenal! But please, don't hurt my babies, okay? Can't my babies be happy for five fucking minutes?! PLEASE?!
