A review by harrowclare
Tokyo Ghoul, Vol. 8 by Sui Ishida

4.0

This volume is ruthless and brutal, with simultaneous battles happening alongside flashbacks. As we learn more about Touka and Ayato’s past, we see what has caused them to splinter and go their separate ways, and we meet the new side of Kaneki that has emerged from captivity & torment - especially with the interaction between Kaneki and Ayato.

As this arc comes to a close and we gear up for the next one, we are left with more questions than answers, feeling just as incomplete and uncertain as the characters do. Kaneki is forging a new path, the mood is bleak and curious, and relationships between characters are forever changed. Or so it seems.
