It's so nice to have the world fleshed out a little bit more with these stories. I enjoy that type of thing, so I will be sure to read the next one, too. The writing and stories aren't necessarily fantastic, enthralling, nor incredibly well written, but I think they are worth a read if you are a fan of the manga series. I just slowly read it one story at a time, but it is a quick read overall!

Of course I enjoyed this, anything and everything do to with this world thrills me.
What I love is how Towada weaves a single storyline throughout the novel and then just changes perspectives. The OVA PINTO is from this novel, which was fun to learn.
I, as always, love everything about Kaneki whenever he shows up. Since these novels were written near the beginning of the serialization, it's funny to me that the only content of Kaneki we get is in his weakest state, when he's just a kind, caring, lovable little booknerd who wants to be left alone.
The Hinami story was hella heartbreaking though but it was so cute how the little boy gave her that gorgeous bookmark. All in all, I loved the novel, it was a bit thicker than PAST and I recommend it to anyone who loves this world, you won't be disappointed because I believe Towada really made sure to take everything to Sui Ishida, and it shows.

A totally pointless addition to the Tokyo Ghoul universe. It's just filler that reads like a movie novelization, and it's not even fun or insightful, which could go a long way in justifying its existence. I'm taking a pass on the other novelizations in the series.

Typoriffic?!
This is my favorite of the three novels. Hide fights off a ghoul, Hinami makes a human friend, and a new ghoul in Tokyo reveals another way that humans and ghouls have lived together peacefully.
Unfortunately, this edition is riddled with typos! "Yoshimoto"? "Kankei"? It was jarring to see such basic errors in a series I have so much respect for.

An amazing collection of short stories from the Tokyo Ghoul universe. I’ve got myself so invested in this universe at the moment and I’m just really enjoying it. These stories are great little vignettes that add to the complexity of the characters that we know and love, and also introduce some fringe characters that you also grow to care for.
Very excited to read the rest of this series.
