Kaneki's on steroids in this one. Shinohara seems to be more like mado but I'm glad Ishida changed it in the manga

Because of this, I was convinced that he would be killed by Kaneki during their first encounter in Kanou lab...

I'm confused, was this like the "pilot" chapter of the series? Either way cool find. Kaneki and Shinohara both look a little... Odd, glad they were changed. Touka looks the exact same though, he had her look nailed down.

Hahaha @ OP steroids. Can not be unseen.

I am glad the author changed the mask style. The one used in manga is way more unique than the one in one shot.

I liked the one-shot's Touka way more than the manga's Touka.

I was pretty damn surprised at Kaneki's whole personality change in her. Proto-Kaneki ftw lol

I don't get it either if that was an insult it was really bad since Tokyo Ghoul and Naruto are completely different in every single way.

Somehow, I didn't quite like the Kaneki in this one-shot. Touka however, was still badass! Wished Hinami and Tsukiyama was in this too!

Poor Shinohara.. Without a Quinque, he barely had any chance of winning in the first place. R.I.P.

So, I'm guessing Kaneki was actually supposed to be like this. I'm glad Ishida changed his mind.

i read that in english at one point was pretty interesting kanekis a full ghoul and is much more callous and kinda like touka in the beginning of tokyo ghoul
shinohara comes to the coffee shop and kaneki starts a fight with him ends up taking touka hostage then touka attacks shinohara when his guard lowers and reveals herself as a ghoul then they both eat up.

Wow the prototype's Kaneki is sooo different. Not just the fact that he's full ghoul but his whole personality is just different. Though his basic values of eating humans I think is still the same. I haven't read that many prototypes and their respective series, but this is the one that has the most drastic changes in the mc that I've read. Other prototypes had an mc that carried over exactly into the series. I'm glad Ishida changed Kaneki X)

Me too, but too bad, the manga Touka compliments the manga Kaneki much more, thing is, I didn't like the manga Touka. ):

Nice seeing Kaneki and Touka make a great team! And Yoshimura with them sandwiches.. Ishida-sensei has improved a lot since this one shot. Anyways it was a fun read.

I'm in agreement with the general consensus - Kaneki was wildly different in this, although Touka was fairly awesome. Personally I like both versions of Touka, but reading this makes me wish for more...

I'll be frank, The translation of this I read was listed as being a part of Tokyo Ghoul proper, and mislabelled chapter 144 to boot, so when I read it (yes after reading Ken, which was labelled as 143) I thought it was some sort of mind dream of the characters or some such. It wasn't until the end that I realised it was the one-shot.

This actually kind of has me wanting more from the one-shot variant. The fact that ghouls don't appear to be aware of the other's existences is a fascinating change from the proper manga, and raises questions such as whether Yoshimura is also a ghoul (which then raises a can of "wow plot convenience for three ghouls to work together").
Shinohara definitely felt more like a throwaway character by the end of it, although learning story about his daughter being killed by ghouls was fascinating. I wonder if that's still a part of his backstory in TG itself.
