It’s time to remember this phenomenal manga series.
Summary:
- The Tokyo Ghoul anniversary project is making the series relevant again.
- The anime adaptation is notorious for having poor quality.
- Season 1 wasn’t that bad.
- Season 1 ends with Chapter 66, but fans suggest starting from the beginning.
The Tokyo Ghoul fandom is experiencing something that they haven’t experienced in a long time: true excitement. A special 10th anniversary project has been confirmed, and fans are more hyped than ever.
While everyone is speculating whether this project might be a remake of the anime or not, some people find the news a great sign to get into Tokyo Ghoul. But what is the best way to do so?
Anime adaptation leaves much to be desired
It’s no secret that the Tokyo Ghoul anime is disliked by the fandom a lot. Season 2 is considered one of the worst adaptations in the history of anime, and there are a lot of reasons for that.
However, Tokyo Ghoul Season 1 wasn’t that bad. On the contrary, it was rather successful, and thousands of fans thank it for making them read the manga. And the manga is truly worth reading, it’s one of the best seinen series out there, and truly an iconic project.
Where to start reading the manga?
If you’ve finished the first season of the anime and have heard a lot of terrible things about Season 2, we have a feeling you’d like to continue this journey in the manga format.
Season 1 ends with Chapter 66 of the manga. This is where the fight between Kaneki and Jason takes place and where Kaneki starts becoming the true monster. So if you want to continue after Season 1, start with Chapter 67.
However, all the Tokyo Ghoul fans beg you to start from the beginning. As we’ve said, Season 1 wasn’t that bad and it became the reason for such an immense success of the series, but the manga was always better.
The manga provides more details and gives more perspective on various characters. A lot of fans admit that they found it challenging to like Kaneki in the anime due to his constant whining, but the manga version of him is different.
You won’t understand why so many people love this series and its main protagonist if you don’t start from the beginning.
On top of that, the manga is even more brutal and gruesome, so if you’d like to experience the true level of Tokyo Ghoul’s cruelty, this is definitely the best way to do so.
