I love a good manga. My heart was feeling for Kaneki. He’s a sweet guy who love to read and had a major crush on a girl. She turned out to be a ghoul who ate humans just for fun instead of when she needed to eat. This is only Volume 1. I might need to pick up Volume 2 to see how Kaneki makes his new life being part human and part Ghoul work for him.

reading this manga was such a long time coming, i’m so happy to have finally picked this up :’) 

the action scenes had to be my most favorite part, it was so epic. but kaneki’s friendship with hide, as well….that got to me a bit. i can’t wait to see kaneki explore more about himself and the half-ghoul that he’s become.

A truly gory book. Interesting world building and characters though. Definitely a good hook to a larger story.
