Tokyo Ghoul, Vol. 1: Volume 1

I love this so so much. It’s perfect quality, amazing plot as expected, great illustrations. I absolutely love the anime so I of course wanted to check out the manga also!! So here I am, writing the review for my newly bought manga. Like I stated before, the illustrations are just amazing! And the plot makes it even better. 10/10 definitely recommend. Now for those of you who have never bought a manga before, (I wrote this in all my manga-related reviews as I was once in that position) please note that manga’s are actually made the opposite way around. So instead of reading this from left to right, you read it from right to left. No need to worry though, like me, you’ll get used to it in no time at all!! In fact, I’m much more adapted to this style rather than the typical one that’s used in the most common countries. If you’re debating whether to get this product or not, I say do it!! You definitely won’t regret it. In fact, I’m actually preparing to get the second one right after writing this!! Amazing!

Wow! SO I started reading manga at the end of last year... Always been a fan of anime but never got around to reading the books. And up until now I've been buying the Viz 3-in1 Omnibus Editions of Naruro, One Piece, Dragonball etc etc This is the first time I've bought a single volume (i also purchased Volume 1 of Bleach at the same time) and I was blown away by the sheer quality of this book! The pages feel strong and sturdy, the cover feels and looks great, even the font in the speech bubbles is impressive. If you enjoy collecting pretty manga this is one for you! I haven't even mentioned the actual story which is awesome , I read the entire thing is one sitting without putting in down once! Can't wait to order and read volume 2!!

The packing was very sturdy so and it has arrived in perfect condition, quality of the manga is also a lot better than some of the others I own. Overall just great quality

I saw the volume was reduced and I went for it. I found out about the series when the anime was still coming out and was hooked on the story right from the first episode. I found and binge read the manga; it was on my mind for a long time after. The anime went down hill, but that only highlighted how good the manga was to me. Something I never liked about vampires was that they don't really need to harm humans, but ghouls can't live without human meat. This book starts events for the main character, and the people he meets along the way. A great start. I recommend the series, and reading the first book is the best way to figure out whether it's for you. It is quite dark.

Such a good book/manga but it did come with a tiny bit of damage (probably from shipping) its a great manga for someone who may wanna collect or get into it, it is i suggest 13+ because of its topics and possible gore

I watched (and enjoyed) the anime a few months ago, but I just felt like there were some things that were missing, because sometimes things made little sense… so I decided to buy the mangas, and I am really glad I did!

it's great I highly recommend this seller

The story is amazing so far

Gostei muito do anime, então resolvi ler o mangá. O preço é salgado, mas é um baita mangá, bem grosso. A história é a mesma apresentada no anime, porém os leitores têm acesso a um bônus no final. Curti bastante a leitura, optei pela versão em inglês para poder continuar aprimorando meu inglês. Recomendo.

If you're looking for a layered, gripping story that tears your heart out in the best way, then Tokyo Ghoul is the perfect manga for you. It's the story of Ken Kaneki, a quiet, unassuming college student who loves to read and really only has one friend in the world, Hide (Hideyoshi), since both of his parents are dead and he's not that outgoing of a personality. They live in a world where ghouls - beings who appear human most of the time except when under attack/when they fight (then appendages called kagune appear from various locations in their back and their eyes change color, among other things), and of course they can only eat human flesh to survive - exist alongside humans. This existence is a precarious one since ghouls are hunted down by an organization called the CCG. The over-reaching arc of the story is Kaneki being turned into a half-human, half-ghoul, a very rare creature in this world, and the repercussions of that change. While this plot isn't that unique in and of itself (being an outsider and all that it entails), Sui Ishida does such AMAZING things with it, and the horrors of being a ghoul. Things are never black and white in the Tokyo Ghoul world. You should hate the ghouls for the fact that they feed on living beings, but he brings such humanity to these characters, not only Kaneki but Touka, Hinami and Nishiki, to name just a few. There are 'factions' within the ghoul world, those who want to live in peace and those fighting against the humans/the CCG organization. Again, the lines aren't so clear between who is wrong and who is right. If you think the ghouls deserve to live in peace and the CCG side is wrong for killing them, you are presented with characters that are not so one dimensional, that have their reasons to be effective hunters. Ishida seems unable to present to the reader a character that is not fully formed in one way or another - even if they seem that way at first, give it time. So many characters evolve as the story goes, reveal new facets as chapters come out and, unfortunately, the tragedies and horrors pile up. Then there is the plot itself. If you are someone who loves easter eggs in your movies, then this series is for you. There are so many clues and hints scattered about, you can tell that Ishida has done his research and hinting all along where things are going. Tarot card and book references abound, and that's just some of the symbolism. Yes, the series is dark. Yes, it's a horror series. There are moments of levity here or there, but in the end this is one of the darker series out there, both in content and in the fact that people die (often in very messy, graphic ways), people change and not always for the better, and there are a lot of mature themes in this book. There are also a lot of great characters here as well, both male and female (some of the best female characters I've seen on a series, in fact). This is also one of those series that just seems to get better as it goes along, and even as I dread each chapter that comes out, I have to keep reading. There's also an anime of the series (two seasons, the first is mostly faithful to the first half of the manga, the second doesn't follow the manga at all but was drafted by Ishida), and a follow up manga to Tokyo Ghoul called Tokyo Ghoul:Re that is ongoing.
