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.

It’s been years since watching the anime and going back and reading the manga brings back many memories. The art style is stunning and I still really like the concept of this story.

Good introduction to the series. I liked the art style, and the main character was likeable enough to willingly follow throughout the series. I hope we get to see more of the friendship between Hide and Ken as the manga continues.

I enjoyed the story, but it was too gory for me and there were a lot of pages where I couldn’t tell what was happening. Not sure if I’ll continue with the series.

Lots of blood, dead bodies, a beheading, and one character forcing another character to eat human flesh. If you can’t do gore, maybe don’t read this one.
