Tokyo Ghoul, Vol. 1

Sui Ishida

A Tokyo, sévissent des goules, monstres cannibales se dissimulant parmi les humains pour mieux s'en nourrir. Etudiant timide, Ken Kaneki est plus intéressé par la jolie fille qui partage ses goûts pour la lecture que par ces affaires sordides, jusqu'au jour où il se fait attaquer par l'une de ces fameuses créatures. Mortellement blessé, il survit grâce à la greffe des organes de son agresseur... Remis de son opération, il réalise peu à peu qu'il est devenu incapable de se nourrir comme avant et commence à ressentir un appétit suspect envers ses congénères. C'est le début d'une descente aux enfers pour Kaneki, devenu malgré lui un hybride mi-humain, mi-goule. Tokyo Ghoul a pris la suite de Gantz pour devenir le titre phare du magazine Young Jump de Shueisha. Sui Ishida, qui signe là sa première œuvre, instille le malaise par une description minutieuse des nouvelles sensations qui assaillent le héros et les transcendent par des scènes d'action explosives et magnifiques. Prenant à contre-pied les récentes productions sur les zombies, Tokyo Ghoul nous présente une vision inversée du combat de l'humanité contre ses prédateurs.

This was my first ever manga. And I couldn’t be happier, I’m pretty sure I have a new obsession 😈

This is the first Manga that I've read and I'm so glad because I completely loved it. I especially admired the artwork, at some pages I literally stopped to stare at the page because I am a person who appreciates art, especially in graphic novels.

I thought the story was really interesting, College Student Ken Kaneki goes on a date with a girl he has a crush on, only to end up in the hospital, finding himself half human and half… ghoul. He's a half-ghoul hybrid, technically, and that's pretty fucking cool. (but then gross…) There were a few surprising moments, which was also a reason I enjoyed it so much.

Something I also thought was interesting, was how Kaneki felt alone, and how he was a book nerd, and didn't care either. He used some of his knowledge of some books he read to help his… urmm… situations.

I admire Nagachika's loyalty and observations throughout the book, he really does seem like a good friend, worried when Kenaki was acting weird, and encouraged him to eat when he looked weak and literally wasn't eating anything for days.

I'm already looking forward to the next volumes of Tokyo Ghoul, and am excited to know more about Touka and more about the Ghouls, and how Kenaki will take it, especially how Nagachika will react.

Overall, I would say this is a successful start to my Manga collection.

Bellissimo. Mi è piaciuto tantissimo. Dopo aver visto l’anime mi era venuta la curiosità sul manga e devo dire che questo primo volume era all’altezza delle mie aspettative.

Very interesting story line. I’m excited to continue the series

Shy Ken Kaneki is thrilled to go on a date with the beautiful Rize. But it turns out that she’s only interested in his body—eating it, that is. When a morally questionable rescue transforms him into the first half-human half-Ghoul hybrid, Ken is drawn into the dark and violent world of Ghouls, which exists alongside our own. -- VIZ Media

The artwork is phenomenal! The story is interesting and has it's dark atmospheric moment. Can't wait for more.

I liked the idea of the story but I didn't really like the art style or how the story was executed. I feel like it was repeated over and over again without any explanation or anything to grasp me to the story.

This was actually really good!!!!! I bought this a long time ago and I had tried reading it previously (twice) and I guess I just wasn’t in the mood for it. I’m ready for vol. 2 now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty good story and I'm not a horror genre fan. But decided to give this a try for October. Really interesting on the perspective for ghouls. The main character is ok...I hope to see some character growth later in the series.
