When you have and end like Tokyo Ghoul, it's obvious to be anxious and excited about what will happen? Actually what just happened? Did he die? Did he become a quinque? Is this the end?

NO fellow reader it is not the end, here we have Tokyo Ghoul:re, same author, same amazingness and the most important 'the same twisted world'. (Yes there's kaneki too).

In part 1 we saw how twisted both humans and ghouls are and a protagonist that lies between both, not just because he has been both, (there are quite a few who were turned into ghouls), BUT because he has seen that both ... sides are good and bad, he has understood this world. Even at first when he's missing his memories he still understand that, he shows kindness for ghouls even tho he's an investigator, after losing his memories. And it's just a bonus when he regains them.

So let's start the review:

Story: (9/10)
The story starts with our Kaneki with what he would be if he lost his memories and was used for his strength and turned into an investigator and given a new name Sasaki Haise. This certainly makes CCG looks like really evil. But let's not generalize it, everything has it's bad sides just like ghouls and humans both have. The story starts off with a small arc which has characters connected to his past. Every arc goes and turns into something amazing and unexpected, the hype is just way too much each arc. You thought you knew about kaneki's past? NO you do not, this manga gives some insane revelations that you certainly never saw coming, such INSANE revelations and unexpected scenes that you'll stop reading just to say "HOLY SH*T" and 'WHAT THE F**K", it has more mysterious plot and more interesting storyline as to say. As the manga progresses we see more and more about what happened in a 3 year time skip and how thing have changed and this moves us to how the characters are, so let's talk about that...

Character: (9/10)
Sasaki Haise is just what kaneki would be if he forgot his past ..oh wait I just said the obvious thing right? What I mean is that he's your kaneki so unnecessary hate is not needed, he's just as kind as him but a bit more sane than him. It is interesting to see his character development throughout, from being scared of his past and rejecting it to being slowly starting to accept it and wanting to know more about it, well you can guess what that leads to. As for the other characters Ishida deserves a clap really, even the minor characters who are only supposed to appear for individual arcs ends up giving you feels and you'' be surprised to see how lot of these characters seemed at first and how normal and damaged from inside they are. The element of unpredictability remains and you have no idea whether that certain character will live or die. We also see how the old characters have changed and developed in the past and even those you did not expect to develop, just as the new characters, they all change in the story.

Art: (8/10)
The thing that has most improved is the art, the characters and the scenes are drawn so uniquely it's amazing. Ishida Sui is an amazing artist, the expression of characters are drawn accurately, you understand what the character is feeling and thinking, their insanity and emotions taking over are perfectly expressed on their face, their expression ARE what they are supposed to be, 'scary'. The art has improved a lot.

Enjoyment: (9/10)
How much enjoying is it to read? SO SO MUCH ENJOYING that I really hate waiting for a week for each chapter. The hype is so much, especially in between the arcs, when certain revelations are made and certain characters come and certain fights are about to happen, you are just left wondering and thinking about the possibilities, this manga stays on your mind if you're an attention paying reader and not a speedreader. This is one hell of a ride.

Overall: (8/10)
Been a year since it started serializing, 5 volumes until now and yet it has been so good, so if you are looking for something that will keep you waiting all week, then here is no reason to skip it and old reader who are not reading it yet, you are making one hell of a mistake.
