It was a sequel following a character who originally had people he wanted to protect .He loses his why forgetting what is truly important to him. Most characters go through many stages of change each with different goals.The author makes you question if someone being good or evil is so easy to decide by showing you characters placed on both sides of that label.

What I loved about Tokyo Ghoul was the character development, the good phasing of the story and a general feeling of "wanting to know more" when reading. I liked Kaneki Ken and I liked how he reflected and interacted with his surroundings. Such qualities are clearly lacking in :re.

Honestly, :re is an incorrigible mess that just gives the reader fight after fight after fight without explanations. There is no real story, no real development, no characters that I felt was as interesting or as funny as those in Tokyo Ghoul. I am both sad and disappointed that the author wasted this manga's potential with a mediocre sequel meant to (probably) please the audience rather than actually making quality work.

For those who will say that :re needs more "reflection" or "patience" clearly does not understand Tokyo Ghoul but are just fanboys who doesn't want anyone talking shit or saying anything negative about the manga. Read and compare Tokyo Ghoul and :re and you will see a clear difference in quality.

Tokyo Ghoul:re is not finished yet, however, I highly doubt that anything story or character wise will change. Introducing new enemies does not count as a development y'all, just wanted to put that out here.

In Tokyo Ghoul the ghouls were the monsters. In Tokyo Ghoul re, it's turned around, making the human population the inhuman ones, the monsters. Make no mistake: Ghouls are still cruel here, but the cruelity of the humans? Oh my.
Current status of reading: ch 134

While still better than most other stuff that's released weekly, I'm just not impressed any more with this series. If you liked TG though, continue on. Or wait until this series is completed and do a binge read.

This is the sequel to the brilliant Tokyo Ghoul and Tokyo Ghoul:Re was continuing this quality.
It started slow, build up at good pace, reached it's climax...
... and then ruined everything by twisting, the twisted twist.
Until the climax this manga was easily a 10/10. But afterwards it trashed the basic plot for the sake of twists. The pace changed too, from ever progressing MC to stalling to build up the next enemy.
Maybe it got too succesful and now entered it's milking stage.
Get off the ride while you can still preserve the good memories....

You have been warned.

Rating: Until the climax 10/10, afterwards 2/10. will settle for 5/10 overall.

This is a series in which you can't skim read. You have to pay clear attention to detail as most of them can foreshadow future events or further develop a character. Many people in the comments complain that the sequel is worse than the previous series but in my opinion it's better than the previous one.

It develops characters from the first series while adding in new ones and all of them have a part to play in the manga. Characters that you may have not liked in the first series are shown to have different sides to them and as the story progresses they grow as characters that might lead you to develop feelings for them even if they were dislikable from the beginning (for me it was Yomo and the gourmet ^^). But that doesn't mean that the new cast in the sequel are forgotten. The author manages to make time for development for them too and you would liking them as much as the previous characters in the first series.

In the prequel, the manga shows the reader the view-point of ghouls and how they live in modern society and this changes in the sequel where the view-point has now shifted to CCG which I really like as this allows us to see from two sides to the story and that there is no black and white only grey in this world. No one in this manga is truly evil as all the characters that have done despicable acts have some sort of reason or backstory to lead them to the point where they are.

This is indeed a sequel to the first series and it has given us answers to what had happened in the first series. I recommend this to people who like character growth and development, horror, some mystery and tragedy(there's a goddamn lot T_T). Although, you do need to pay attention to detail otherwise you could get lost and will not understand what's happening in the story.

The sequel is honestly really good, at first I was bored reading a few chapters but now I'm pretty sure it's better than the first series. This, honestly, sheds a lot of light to the first original series and makes you develop feelings for those who you probably didn't like the first book, like the Gourmet (honestly felt iffy about him), and explores the view points of the first series, the people in the CCG. This is such an amazing read if you read far enough, it took me long enough to be accustomed to the new characters that were being added to the series, which is soooo much, but when I did the plot just exploded in my face. It was amazing. If you are someone who skims and can't read through details i recommend you not read this because you would just be bored and you wouldn't even understand what's happening, for the rest of you try it! Definitely recommended.

I generally in agreement with Mighty Carnival. In :re, the author tend to overreach. He want to develop every part of the story all at once, stuffing every chapter with multiple flash and minor but hyped details. Reading a :re chapter, I feel like reading three to five very short chapter instead one cohessive telling that push the story forward. The author is not telling a story. He's telling a noise.

I was disappointed with the author after well paced revelation he exhibited in the prequel. I enjoyed the self discovery after unfortunate event, clashing motives, and finally the culmination of every tension in one final battle. The ride in original Tokyo Ghoul is *fairly* smooth. The ride in Tokyo Ghoul:re is like driving off road with broken suspension. I don't enjoy it.

seriously guys, this sequel is, for me, like one and the same with the prequel, nothing change much, its still tokyo ghoul and the story is flowing nicely. That's why i dont like the idea of comparing the two of them. But HONESTLY from my experience reading it, THIS SEQUEL IS BETTER. better pacing, better art, and still maintaining it's hype from the first one. yeah, there is some new character popping out (but not that many tho... O_o) but they are all interesting and they are NOT UNIMPORTANT. And yeah, the old characters are rarely appear but, that's just like in the earliest part of this sequel.... THEY GOT TO APPEAR EVENTUALLY.
so, according to all the commenter here i will say that this manga is UNDERRATED AF, and i'm so recommending you to read it, but dont you expect to enjoy it if you haven't READ the prequel or you only watch the anime (yeah, you know why).
want some PROOF? just watch some reviewer on youtube. (fornever world, chibi reviews, son wukong, etc.)
...and PLEASE dont compare this to what happen in AoT, i read it til the latest chapter and i know it got messed up so badly, but this series, not at all.

Loved the first part, but this sequel...the way it is narrated makes no sense. Million new characters introduced, jumping from one to another without ever getting deep with anyone. Time skips when new situations are introduced but nothing about it is explained. Fights that start out of nowhere and are cut without an ending. The whole structure built by the first part completely destroyed.

- You had the aversion towards gore, dark violence
- Skimming through manga, read without thinking/ponderling

- looking for Disney type romance
- Lack attention to details

This manga would probably interest you if
- You are interested for character growth in term of emotional/psychological
- Love to analyse, good attention to detail, predicting flow of story based on various hint provided
- You are patience
- You are in love with dark story, story with tragedy, emotional turmoil, character with psychotic tendency
