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!
