This question is pretty annoying in the anime fan base, but I’ve been reading Tokyo ghoul, a manga said to be very great, but so far I find it just fine, nothing special. Tbh I don’t give a shit about any of the characters, which isn’t rly good, and the female lead annoys me for some reason, but that’s more of my problem than the manga. Does it get better after a while, or does it stay like this? (I’ve read about 30 chapters so far)

It gets much better around volume 6 or 7 with the Aogiri arc
I definitely agree that the beginning of the manga is a bit of a slog to get through but once you get there it's really good

It gets better. I would say that the arc that begins at chapter 31 is pretty good, but the one after that is why the anime for Tokyo Ghoul got so popular. I would say that Tokyo Ghoul:re is better than Tokyo Ghoul. Re is where I thought that characters other than Kaneki were actually interesting. But in the end, it’s all subjective.

You didn’t even give a shit about Hinami?

I think 31 is where the Gourment arc starts.
And about Hinami, I don’t really care much, not because I don’t like her, but because I’m not interested by her as a character, but I was sad to see her suffer. Im not interested by any character right now, and two characters, Touka and Amon, they kinda annoy me because so far there’s nothing interesting about them but the manga shoves them into my face anyway, which makes me like them even less. I also think that they’re generic, but some stuff I like is also generic, so I don’t really know whether I can say that lol.

I was hooked after volume 4. The stuff with Hina her mom and Kaneki fighting Amon. Then the second half is incredible. Tokyo Ghoul: Re I enjoyed a bit less but still good series

I finished it and loved it, you should push a little bit futher and see if you like it or not

As long as you don't hate it you should keep at it until at least chapter 70 or 80. That's when Kaneki and Touka become more solid characters. And if you end up enjoying TG then TG:RE will be even better. If you don't have that patience then I recommemd Chouijin X by the same mangaka since it has better pacing.

I actually forced myself to finish the manga. I did not enjoy it. There are some interesting and spooky antagonists in some of the later chapters, but I agree with not having a connection to any of the characters. and any of the characters that I did like, the story does nothing with, so I didn't find it as amazing as others say. I think I gave it a 4/10. there are better written stories out there that pull you in immediately and build amazing character dynamics that you actually want to learn about and follow

Same as me, but in my experience, volume 3 was the part that really got me into the story and characters

I read it because of the art, and stayed for the story. both gets better and better after each volume.

Around the Aogiri Arc it gets good I’d suggest you read up until that point to see if you still like it if you’re thinking of dropping it it’s around chapter 66

Not imo, it was quite dull and annoying at times, like wannabe edgy manga or whatever w/ basic characters

The whole Tokyo ghoul manga is a masterpiece even volume 1-4, but if you didn't like it, then try not to read Tokyo re, because tokyo ghoul re is not that good and worse than tokyo ghoul.
