Reasons why Tokyo Ghoul is a must-read
The character development is marvelous
characters are all worked on so well; no characters to just be there
diverse cast of characters with different genders and sexuality
the main character is a cinnamon roll and you will fall in love with him just don’t fall in love with him he will destroy you he will fooking kill you
he also has the best character development you’ll probably witness and it never stops… like… never… so many characters in one person…
there are no flawless characters, neither there are pure evil ones
awesome use of symbolism, foreshadowing, and parallels
tarot card numbers hidden inside the illustrations to give the readers hints of present or future. you will become so paranoid you will see tarot numbers on your mama’s face
the most LITERARY manga you can lay your hands on
the mystery is just crazy, you will start suspecting everything and everyone and you can never ever judge a character before the story pretty much ends cause assfaces are good people and good faces are assholes…
Did I mention Hideyoshi Nagachika…?
the author, Sui Ishida, is an adorable, crazy, dork cinnamon roll
hyper active author just can’t rest and posts additional art everywhere, so the fandom probably receives the most official art among all fandoms
the man also has created such an intelligent fandom, people look for signs in each and every work of art he posts tg fandom is probably the most paranoid fandom to ever exist
the tragedy-author has worked on several art books as well as 16 pages of weekly manga as well as additional art on his pages as well as working on anime script as well as replying to fans and making fan art for his favorite stories
his first work was a web comic called ‘Penisman’… about a hero with a penis for a head…
he also reads shoujo… go figure
the fandom is intelligent and hella welcoming
the psychology in the story… man…
the world-building is smart and interesting
no chapters go by without twists and turns that make you scream
fits a large amount of action/development/stuff in only 15-16 pages
no unnecessary dialogue, scenes, etc.
no forced romance, friendship, etc.
the art is beautiful and unique
the plot drives you out of your mind… in a good way
the most interesting and twisted mixture of violence and beauty you can find
Hideyoshi Nagachika…. just saying
everything remotely related to the manga has a meaning, make no mistake, I’m telling you–if there is a flower there, go find its name and symbolism. there’s a color in the new art? let’s see what it means. There’s a fooking bug on Kaneki’s hair? It fooking means something let’s figure it out. there’s no way that additonal line is a part of the sketch… or maybe it is no way no fooking way it has to fooking mean something–
The bottom line: READ THE FOOKING MANGA
