They aren’t like other companion series, where you can read one and then pick up the other in whatever order you want, but instead they are to be enjoyed in a strict order–TG first, TG:re second. Tokyo Ghoul and Tokyo Ghoul:re are two parts of a single series, although they are labeled differently and are considered completely different. I had a lot of good memories of it, and so, since I never finished all of it, I decided that it was time to reread and finish the rest of the series. Why this series?: I read this series while I was back in high school. As it turns out, Rize is what is known as a ghoul–a human-like monster that sustains itself on human flesh. Through a series of unfortunate events, Kaneki ends up in the hospital and an emergency leads to his organs being replaced with Rize’s before approval can be given. Shy college student Ken Kaneki finally gets the nerve to ask out his crush Rize who he met at the local coffee shop they both frequent, Anteiku.

His younger brother, Kaul Hilo, is an effective Horn (chief enforcer), but he’s also rash and impulsive. Kaul Sen, the former Pillar (head) of the No Peak clan, has retired, and the new Pillar, Kaul Lan, doesn’t quite inspire the fear and loyalty garnered by his legendary grandfather or his late war hero father. Two clans fueled by the magical power of jade battle for control of an analog of mid-20th-century Hong Kong.Ĭlan soldiers have a specific genetic affinity for jade not shared by most outsiders, which grants them strength and shielding, among other magical powers.
