Book Review: Tokyo Ghoul vol. 1 by Sui Ishida

Tokyo Ghoul, Vol. 1 by Sui Ishida
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Now I've watched the anime of this, and I found the manga a couple days (now a week) ago. So what's this about? Well it's about a boy named Ken Kaneki who is very shy and always has a nose in a book. So when he and Rize went out on a date, it went perfectly well....until the end of the date. And at the end of the date, Rize bit him, freaking Kaneki out. And when she caught up with him, she smiled at him and said:



Which freaked out Kaneki more than ever. But then a bunch of steel railways came down and crushed Rize, killing her instantly but Kaneki was still alive, so they transferred her organs into him...and, well...



So when he woke up, he realized he couldn't eat all the human food that he wanted, the human food he loved. But when it came to human flesh, he hungered for it-so badly, in fact, that he was so close to eating one, but stopped until he saw Nishio close to eating it and demanded that he leave-and that it was his hunting ground. But then Touka showed up and stopped him.

Then Touka turned around and realized that Kaneki is hungry and really wanted the dead body, so she forced fed it to him. But at the end, between the fight between Nishio and Kaneki, and, well, Kaneki snapped when Nishio said something about eating his friend, but that didn't work and he woke up in Anteiku. In the end, he stayed (just like in the anime).

I really enjoyed this book and I really do recommend this book a whole lot!!
