Why I really enjoy Tokyo Ghoul and say that the manga is worth buying;

To a beginning I watched it as a 12 year old kid who barely understood what was talked about during the conversations within the CCG. I’ve watched and read it multiple times after that. While reading it just now, realised why I really do enjoy it.

Characters Each character has a strong personality and a backstory that makes the action of them reasonable. Don’t look at the charcters without acknowledge their past and situation.

Purpose for acting Why are they even fighting to begin with? It could be answered with a simple and boring “They don’t like each other.” which is not an incorrect answer but a better answer and a better to look at it would be “Both sides are fighting for their right to existence.”

Focus The main focus isn’t to learn everything about all kague types, quinques organisations, or even ranks within the CCG. Yes, it’s easier to keep track of everything when you know all that but if that’s your main focus there are other ways to understand and enjoy the story. The mindset is to understand the acts of the characters, understading their emotions and inner conflicts. Reflect over why Kaneki seems to be a whole different person in volume one and fourteen.

Character development It exists and it’s great. It’s not really about characters changing their points of views and sides, it’s more like finding reasons and accepting. Kaneki for example, he realises who he is and the reasons behind his acts. Touka on the other hand, accept her feelings and let others see them. 

Setting/mood It’s not a happy story. It’s as mentioned above, two different spieces fighting just to make sure they have the right to exist. The overall mood is pure sadness, despair and desperation.

Concept A regular student with not much in his life, one really close friends, no parents, but he’s living and he seems to be fine. He tries something new out, in this case dating. His date ends up trying to kill him and he ends up a ghoul. A new world, and he can’t exist in-between the two because of the way the two spieces are fighting for their right to live. How would a hybrid ever be accepted? The student is forced to accept his new life and ends up working so hard, just to be able to save others. The little student with a small life ended up becoming his monster in the view of humans and in his head he needs to fight for others in his new life because he once went on a date. There’s nothing beautiful with this, it’s just as the real world. Cruel, where everyone is fighting for a right to live.

ash: im just doing this cause eiji asked me to
