Re: Tokyo Ghoul by Ishida Sui

Not sure if you've been following Tokyo Ghoul since the beginning, but the original manga started pretty slow as well. It always had an interesting premise and good characters, but it took Ishida around 20-30 chapters to get the ball rolling. Considering there's less worldbuilding to do this time, it might be a bit faster, but I'm pretty sure he wants to establish the new characters for now, just like what he did in the original Tokyo Ghoul. Nothing wrong with that, it's exactly why I started to care for almost every character in the series. Never thought I could actually like Juuzo, and yet I started to care for him towards the end too. I have faith that Ishida knows what he's doing.
Of course, I am a manga hipster so I have read the manga before they got popular recently :kappa

I think the prequel start was not exactly what I would call as boring, it was a normal pace although admittedly the story did not progress into something bigger until Chapter 50 or so. So far none of the characters stick to me as someone who's memorable but then again this is still only the beginning. I never liked Juuzo so I don't know how you feel but I love Akira so perhaps I could understand your sentiment somewhat. I guess this manga is really good at presenting that both sides have their good and bad sides, and perhaps the sequel is going to be told mainly from CCG's perspective instead of Ghouls.

After hours and hours of reading i finally finished first series and 4 new chapters. Man...im so happy that i gave it a try and so so sad about the ending of the first part. I didnt know anything beforehand and Kaneki ending up like that was obv not what i expected. His character development got me really invested in the story but now im devastated and awfully sad. Damn i need something to cheer me up.

I found TG on someone's comment (on 9gag) although my first try was anime and later manga i need to say it really was a good choice :D And now abot the ending...it was terrible, and great at the same time..at first i though its some kind of cliffhanger, so many things happened..Amon,Ken,Hide, ETO, pierrots.. and yet, all there was "thank you for reading" :O (straight punch, right in the face)
gladly we still got TG:re and last page of TG :)

So there is some guy standing with (probably) quinque at his left side, and this last sentence "i know that he will return to anteiku." what does that mean? for me it looks like foreshadownig that Haise=Kaneki.
also while you waiting for new chap. of tg:re you can read tokyo ghoul JACK - short story about school days of investigator Arima -its not as thrilling as tg but its not bad either

Can someone shed some light on this? (Spoiler tag just in case)

I vaguely remember Suzuya finding some sort of listening device (bug) on Yamori when he finished him off, and a similar thing fell off of Ayato when Kaneki was killing fighting him. Does anyone remember what chapter/page that was? Was it ever referenced later? Or did I make a mistake?

I don't remember that at all, but I read very quickly through the first time and now am re-reading so I will see if I can find the pages you mentioned.

Chapter 68.

Chapter 75(I think it's just a pebble here though).

Thanks! I'm pretty sure the second one is a pebble, but now I know around which chapters I should go looking.

But since the first one is what I was talking about, can someone shed some light on that? I don't remember it ever coming up again.

Edit: I went back and reread that group of chapters. Can't find the scene with Ayato, so maybe I just made it up. Yamori on the other hand raises unanswered questions for me.
