Tokyo Ghoul, Vol. 2

Recommended for those who enjoy vampires.Ken's dipped his foot into the water of the ghoul world now. After saving his best friend from being eaten he finds himself in even more of a pickle. He's trying to fit into the worlds of both human and ghouls but this isn't an easy task. Toaka, makes sure to remind him of such but you can tell she kind of likes him.He still refuses to eat, because the only thing that ghouls truly eat, is humans. He started this journey believing what humans believed, that ALL ghouls are EVIL, horrible, MONSTERS. Now he's one of them, or partly one, and serving coffee to some. For coffee is something ghouls can enjoy and keep down on their sensitive stomachs.As Ken learns of the ghoul world and how to wield his powers he runs into the "doves". Ghoul Investigators, much like witch hunters or Buffy, there soul purpose is to analysis, direct, and kill ghouls. They're your normal detectives only they focus on ghouls, not humans.Ken's seeing the other side of the mirror and finding out that ghouls are really no different from humans, except dietary reasons of course. Ghouls have loved ones and children whom they wish to protect. Anteiku, is a coffee house/ghoul sanctuary, is run by an old man, but looks are deceiving. He's an older ghoul who helps to take care of the young and or weak.Ken finds out that ghouls don't just kill some wish to not harm another soul. So they collect suicide victims and much like a butcher shop. . . You get the rest.Ken's still trying to find himself and keep Hide out of his ghoul world. But his friends very perceptive so how much longer until Hide catches on? Oh and Toaka threatened to end Hide if he ever found out, she's a lovely piece of work. Also, Ken must wear a mask, like all the other ghouls so if he ever comes in contact with a dove they won't match his face to his "human" file.Another whirlwind of action and emotional turmoil. I loved Uta, which you'll meet if you read this book, and so many others introduced in the book. Ken's still got a long way to go and the old ghoul believes he can fit in both worlds and that he's got a deeper purpose. Ken's also still refusing to indulge in human flesh, but how much longer can he hold his hunger back?This series is addicting and you see I love vampires, not the Twilight nonsense. Probably lost several review readers, but I was raised on the, THE Dracula himself. So much like vampires, ghouls reside in Tokyo and poor Ken's a half breed. Again, the gores dulled down because of the blurred action in the scenes. Cussing, of course, short clothing, but nothing too revealing and currently no romance. Because I mean who's got time for that when you're busy trying to release your Kagune and stay alive.I loved this book and I'm going to go read the next one and order some more volumes . . . Now where'd that piggy bank scamper off to?

Good quality practically prestine new off shelf

With the second volume of Tokyo Ghoul, you're starting to see more of the world building going on, both in the ghoul 'world' and outside of it with the 'Doves' (the CCG - Commission of Counter Ghoul). The first volume ended off with Ken Kaneki being left as a half ghoul after being attacked by Rize, and now he has to navigate in the ghoul world thanks to the people he's met at the coffee shop Anteiku. Some are more friendly then others, and it's clear he's still torn over the two sides of himself, his human side and his new ghoul side. You start to see ghouls are more than just creatures who eat humans, and you learn why they fear the 'Doves' so much.What in part makes this series so wonderful is as the story advances, the characters (and world) continues to develop, things that should be black and white grow more and more grey, and more depth is added with each chapter. Characters you think are villains one moment are shown to have unexpected motive the next, and the opposite can be true as well.

I'm so glad that I finally got to buy this, I truly am happy, I love Tokyo Ghoul sooo much! I got super excited when it came to my door step, and thank you for the person who delivered it on the right time and handled it with care. God bless you 🙏 ❤ 🕊

A love a little romance that's why when I read about this manga I knew I had to get it. Super cute and the tension between the main character and that piece of meat, pls

Book:The Book is nice, has larger and thicker pages(expected since its a Sig Imprint). There were no misprints, the pages look even better to me than in the first volume(It's probably not the actual book, but rather the way it was drawn). One of the corners on the back of the book is slightly torn off(I believe that's a good way to describe it). The book has a color page, which I like. I do find the tear to be a relatively large flaw that could influence a purchase, especially for those who collect(rather than just wanting to read the physical version for the better looking art).Story:This volume introduces some new characters(both allies and foes), shows more about the CCG, and shows Ken starting to delve deeper into the world of ghouls.Would Recommend.

Love the manga
