One of most well received Manga/Anime series of the last year or so is the phenomenon which is Tokyo Ghoul.

With a well told and drawn dark fantasy story which walks the line between humans and ghouls. It gives twists and turns and colorful back stories, this series gives you many vessels to explore this deep, dark and dingy story of a very different Tokyo.

Author Sui Ishida first posted Tokyo Ghoul as a “Oneshot” in 2010 which is how many Mangaka’s first publish work, depending on reception from fans it normally starts a serialization.

Tokyo Ghoul started serialization in 2011 in Weekly Young Jump. It recently ended serialization in 2014.

Rumors of season 3 of the popular anime and a stage show add to the list of different adaptions to  Sui-sensei’s work.

Below are current offerings of the Tokyo Ghoul franchise.

Manga:
Tokyo Ghoul
Tokyo Ghoul:re
Tokyo Ghoul: Jack

Light Novels:
Tokyo Ghoul: Hibi
Tokyo Ghoul: Kuhaku
Tokyo Ghoul: Sekijitsu

Anime:
Tokyo Ghoul
Tokyo Ghoul√A

Note:Both anime seasons hold 12 episodes at about 24 minutes each

This is a lesson on how to show multiple character back stories yet keep it true to the main protagonist and their journey through the story.

10/10 🙂

Thanks!
