About this deal

While that may still sound like a lot, it is nothing compared to the hundreds you would spend when getting each volume separately. Plus, this box set doesn’t even count in any of the other books and merchandise that’s also part of the Naruto universe – so all in all, this saving is just the tip of the iceberg. When it comes to collecting all of the amazing stories that Masashi Kishimoto created with his beloved series, Naruto, nothing can even compare to the collection that can be acquired through these amazing box sets! In Ken's world there are people and beings called Ghouls. Ghouls walk, talk and act human but the main difference is that they are an obligate carnivore...and the only meat they can consume is human.

Overall I enjoyed this series a lot, with some small-ish gripes. I thought going into the series that it was more aimed to a younger audience, and although it kinda is... It gets pretty effin' dark at points, even for my horror fan sensibilities. Fine by me! Just not eat-over-breakfast material. I took a small break in binging through the box set after the whole "Jason" torture bit... I cannot emphasise how much I love how Kaneki's selflessness in protecting others was actually inherently selfish. Like Touka pointed out in grief: "In the end, it's all about you." But the truth is his metamorphosis did save the people he loved. To quote Kaneki's old self when speaking to his new self: "You fought in the place of the weak me. I'm not angry at all. Thank you for all you've done." I never will get Uta, Itori and Yomo's relationship. It is mind-boggling. Uta can only have "fun" when Renji is alive and Itori is just in love with Uta so she just does whatever makes Uta happy. It's a questionable relationship albeit a bit better than a murderous one. Anyways, this is not a well-articulated review with a character and story analysis of all the things I loved, but I can tell you this: I love the story and the characters with all my heart. Period. A lot of people seem to hate it for some reason which I don't understand. at. all. Ken is poised for the greatest fight of his life...and then the book just kinda ends. It felt like a letdown, and that it could've been so much cooler if the series had continued from there opposed to starting with the whole memory-loss arc.

edit: Mutsuki and Urie deserved more. Definitely. In my head, they got together within the 6 years after the dragon war. You can't change my mind.

The portrayal of the canonically LBGTQIA+ characters is not great. The two characters that I can think of off the top of my head are portrayed as very predatory. It's not great when your only LGBTQIA+ characters are all bad guys. Confession: I think my only goal in life will be to have enough money to buy all the books in Tokyo Ghoul and Tokyo Ghoul: re. Also, do yourself a favour and spend hours of your life reading the masterpiece that is Tokyo Ghoul and Tokyo Ghoul: re. Really cool fight scenes. Like really, really cool. I would love to see how they animated the Kagune fights.To carry the burden that Kaneki carried before he turned into a ghoul was already taxing. He was an orphan with a relative who didn't care about him. But once Kaneki decided to shoulder the burden of essentially the entire 20th ward, he turned into a tragedy-just-waiting-to-happen.
