How can I properly describe my state of mind after reading this, except "WTF WAS THAT" I mean, this plot just delivered on a long game, and I am talking like a really long game.
I am not even going to count how many twists were there, because then we'd be here all day, Mostly I expected this to be completely about the epic battle between the yetagainnewlychanged Kaneki and the Undefeated Arima because there have been multiplechapterspanningbattles before, but this was also about the smaller players in this game.
It called on some older characters, put the focus on some minor characters, and gave some other characters especially the female ones their time to shine.
And THEN it also flipped the known world of this manga,
As two operations go on simultaneously the attack on Aogiri at Rushima, and the attack on Cochlea there are smaller battles happening, Each of them are given their due, even if the characters may be minor, One of the Aogiri tree's members, Mazi's backstory is explained as a way of explaining more of ghoul societies she then proceeds to have an epic battle with one of Suzuya's underlings and this battle is one of wits too, as both try to get an upperhand with surprise moves.
You'd think with a major raid or fight happening every volume, it would all start to get repetitive but there's never a boring moment, Kaneki's creative strategies to disarm Arima were just brilliant, And then there was Arima spilling some truth tea and I was like, OMG this doesn't make sense but also then it kinda does! Like, what a risk to take, what a game to play!
On the character side, we learn about Naki who is probably the only comic relief left in this dark pit of a horror manga and his White Suits, and his awkward introduction to Mazi.
Heck, there's even Marude having to kill someone he has known for a long time, Then we have Torso's childhood backstory gee what a surprise it was terrible, and then Tooru's memories come out Kaneki style! while deep in trauma: both quite messed up, and both with different ways of coping.
Abused kids having a propensity for violence is practically the theme for this manga, and the violence just gets too creative I can't believe I am saying this, but poor Urie.
And meanwhile, Kaneki is having to fight a person who is a father figure to him, and that just nearly broke my heart
Verdict: I really should take a break after this volume, but I can't stop now.
Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review from Viz Media LLC, via Edelweiss, This volume was very sad, OMG!!!!!

In the sequel series to Tokyo Ghoul, Haise Sasaki has been tasked with teaching his special squad of halfghouls how to be outstanding Investigators, but this is complicated by the troublesome personalities of his subordinates and his own uncertain grasp of his Ghoul powers.
Will he and the members of his squad become heroes or monsters, taken out by the other squads in the Commission of Counter Ghoul, . . !
For any reader following the Tokyo Ghoul franchise this is probably their favorite volume so far in the Tokyo Ghoul:re series, . . Arima seriously pulls no punches and basically takes us out with a right hook his twists and reveals are so out of this world, WOAH! I did not see that coming and I don't think Haise/Ken did either!! At least he knows where his enemies are and can now form a different game plan.
This seems like the start of the final arc, but I can see that it could still go on for many volumes and checking I find that it hitsvolumes before the finale! At the heart though is Haise/Ken and no matter if you start in the first series or this series he is who you root for, its he who you want to succeed!
In the last couple of volumes I have been admittedly confused.
. . and I've sussed out a way to understand better, . . READ the intro pages. I've actually never had to in other series but the switches between characters happens a ton between volumes so actually reading every square and matching the portraits up with the characters in the story frames seriously helps! I actually figured out who some of the fighters were and with the reveals from Arima understood their implications too!! What can I say, but this is a seriously complex manga, on level with apage novel in story depth.
. .
The art in Tokyo Ghoul:re volgoes into HIGH GEAR! We have double page spreads that are dynamite and have an intimacy that has been hard to harness up until this volume.
Also the battles stay in frenetic fashion while being a touch more clear as to what is going on, Just subtle shifts in the art that shows that visual storytelling can be jacked up even this late into a series!! It's so, so good.
. . I was beginning to feel like this series wasn't for me but Tokyo Ghoul:re volreally changed my mind and made me fall for the series!
So the plot.
. . Loved it! I just enjoy how ghouls are everywhere, . . and we learn everything from so many directions, . . Really Sui Ishida just plops us into whatever POV will help us to understand and which will create the most compelling reveal! This story is for anyone who loves a great twist because Sui Ishida keeps them coming and coming and coming, and coming even when you don't think he can possibly fool you any more.
I am a little puzzled about where some of the characters went! They just disappeared, but I feel like the answers are probably in the next volume which is what I need, right now!!
Tokyo Ghoul:re volreally changed my entire perspective of the Tokyo Ghoul universe.
. . I've always been a fan of Haise and that hasn't changed a bit even though he's had major challenges to his identity, . . Now with his mentor leaving him with a huge undertaking his entire world is about to implode even more! Pick up this series!! Especially if you enjoy zombies with brains and mega twists.
