Hey guys remember 2024? I’m not so sure I want to. To be fair it wasn’t all bad. It was the year I finally got around to reading the Tokyo Ghoul manga after all. It was pretty good. Yeah… Oftentimes when people watch anime, read manga, whatever, they use it as a means of escapisms. For a moment you’re taken away from whatever ails you in the real world and get wrapped up in whatever fantastical shit’s going on in the anime world instead. I wouldn’t say that’s the only reason I like weeb stuff, but it’s certainly part of the package. Usually. Not so sure it applies to Tokyo Ghoul.

Seriously, who the hell reads Tokyo Ghoul for escapism? Maybe if you’re really into the fight scenes and incurious enough to not notice the distressing real world parallels. Or maybe you like to feel better about your own mental health by seeing others in a worse spot.

To be fair to escapists, no matter how bleak a chapter in Tokyo Ghoul gets it’s still a fictional world. Any number of things could happen and the problems stay contained to the page. So don’t worry about it and think about which characters you want to see kiss instead! I’m not even knocking that, it’s part of the fun. But I’m not going to turn away from the uncomfortable things this manga reminds me of. Come join me in this blog post as I parse through my thoughts on this mammoth of a series. Or don’t, nobody’s forcing you. Either way I’m going to go ahead with it.

Before I proceed any further, it’s important to get some essential disclaimers out of the way. In this blog I’ll be commenting on both the Tokyo Ghoul manga and its sequel Tokyo Ghoul: Re. There will be spoilers. To be honest, I don’t think this is a series where spoilers matter that much, it’s more about the experience I’d say. But y’know. Also this manga’s pretty graphic and deals with themes some may find uncomfortable or worse. Whatever, you probably know what you’re getting into already if you’re still reading this. Let’s go.

The Story

The basic premise of Tokyo Ghoul is that there’s a certain segment of the population that isn’t what they seem. They look like humans but they’re actually ghouls, creatures that eat human flesh for sustenance. They possess human intelligence and usually look just like us, so they can blend into society.

This sounds like a setup for a horror story. Playing into the fears of trusting someone who may secretly be monstrous. Or fear of some alien others that look like you but are fundamentally different and incompatible. That’s not quite what happens here though. There’s certainly some horror elements, but the ghouls are more than just your monster of the week.

The story begins with Ken Kaneki our protagonist being an inconspicuous college student. Everything changes when an attractive young lady starts showing interest in him. Is this too good to be true? Yep, she’s actually a ghoul looking for gullible prey. She would’ve gotten away with it too if it wasn’t for those meddling steel beams!

Ken Kaneki survives this ordeal with severe injuries. So he gets an organ transplant from his ghoulfriend to save his life. The surgery’s a success but it comes with an unfortunate side effect (we later find out that it was intentional but shhhh). He’s essentially become a ghoul himself, at least in part. He now needs human flesh to survive and he’s got the cool ghoul powers too. As someone who now has experience in both the human and ghoul worlds things start getting rather complicated for him.

Suffice to say this story’s a bit more nuanced than just riling up fears for some flesh eating monsters among us. With Ken Kaneki’s new predicament it’s actually ghouls who provide him the community and guidance he needs to navigate his new reality. Kaneki gradually starts seeing the ghouls in a far more sympathetic light. For a lack of a better term he starts seeing their humanity. However, even when his personal attitude changes human society writ-large still wants them gone.

The tense relationship between humans and ghouls is one of the most compelling aspects of the manga for me. This particular scene being a fine example. Touka and Kaneki are visibly perturbed by this woman’s attitude, but it’s not particularly unusual. It’s a bit odd to say it so casually with a smile, but still. The ghouls are a genuine threat to people in this story. While some ghouls manage to get food without directly killing anybody many ghouls are effectively serial killers. The fear and hatred humans have towards ghouls has some degree of rational basis. So why do her words bother me so much?

First of all, this is just my personal opinion, but I really dislike this attitude in general. The idea that it doesn’t matter what we do to anything that isn’t human. Sure, killing in self-defense is justifiable. Sure, we quite literally cannot survive without killing in some form. Even my vegetarian ass murders plants on the regular, and the habitat destruction needed to create farms has claimed countless lives. I’m not very nice to mosquitoes either. If I catch one on my body I have concerns that it will cause me harm and attempt to kill it. Destruction of other life, particularly non-human life, is an intrinsic part of the human experience. It’s a reality I can’t deny. Still I can’t help but feel there’s something distorted in our attitude towards that reality.

Did you know there used to be wolves in Japan? Two types in fact, the Japanese wolf and the Hokkaido wolf, both subspecies of the gray wolf. They’ve both been extinct for a while. Humans killed them off. After all, they attack humans sometimes, and livestock more often. They were a threat to the people there’s livelihoods and as such they were wiped out. Was that really necessary? Well, it certainly prevented the people and livestock of Japan from getting killed by wolves any more. Mission accomplished. If we follow that woman’s line of reasoning it’s 100% okay. Me personally, I fucking resent that.

I could rant about our treatment of nature for a while, but I don’t want to get too far off-track. I think our natural world deserves more respect than humanity writ-large has given it. If you disagree, if you only care about the lives of people and like, maybe dogs, whatever. The thing is, there’s more than just a moral issue here. Take the case of the wolves in Japan. Even if you don’t care that they got killed off, doing so has unintended consequences. If farmers kept wolves around they wouldn’t have to worry as much about crop damage from deer and boar. But the wolves are gone, so they had to reinvent them. Apparently they’re useful for scaring bears off too. There’s a cruel irony there.

This is all to say that our penchance for destruction is excessive and shortsighted. Yes, there are times when destruction is necessary for survival. Yet there are so many cases where we do more killing than necessary, sometimes to a point where it’s an active detriment to us. I could do a whole ass additional rant about climate change. I could but I won’t. So let’s connect this rant back to Tokyo Ghoul.

Humans had an antagonistic relationship with ghouls from the very start of the story. There’s a special police force specifically trained to eliminate ghouls. It’s the only real answer people think they have. Ghouls are scary so they throw cops at the problem. Keep killing ghouls, keep them marginal, and maybe they’ll go away eventually. Or at the very least, they’ll be more manageable. Seems totally reasonable right?

There’s just one little problem with that approach to handling ghouls, it doesn’t really work that well. Sure, the Commission of Counter Ghoul (CCG) managed to stop a bunch of killer ghouls. Good work. Yet you’d be hard pressed to argue they really kept the issue under control. Even with all their high profile successes, the ghouls never really went away completely. One could argue their callous treatment of ghouls caused some ghouls to become more violent in retaliation. The organization also notably gave its leadership role to this guy.

I’m not even going to get into this guy, but it’s fair to say he caused far more problems than he solved. Giving him so much power in his position as Bureau Director of the CCG emboldened him. It was only after the CCG and ghouls worked together to deal with shit this guy caused that the situation started genuinely improving. Who would’ve thunk it?

Perhaps you are unconvinced by the solution the series ultimately came to. After all the traumatic shit humans and ghouls alike have experienced throughout the series the resolution seems almost too smooth. It seems like Ishida ran out of steam by the end honestly, a depressingly common fate for manga endings. Yet even though the ending didn’t land entirely successfully, I think he was on the right track with it. They found a new, more durable kind of peace by finding a way to coexist. Not entirely perfect, but certainly less bleak than before.

I’ve compared the ghouls in this series to the extinct wolves of Japan, but I think we’ll miss something if we just stick to that analogy. I don’t think Ishida was thinking too much about wolves when he created this story. The ghouls are more like a marginalized minority group that humanity treats like wolves. The ghouls are the people that society at large doesn’t accept and forces into hiding. You can get plenty of mileage out of comparing ghouls to queer or neurodivergent people for instance. I’m sure there’s other analyses that flesh out that comparison far more than I will. Point is pretty much anyone that feels disaffected from mainstream society in some way will find something relatable in Tokyo Ghoul.

So besides that important theme how’s the story of this series? Well… for the record, it took me months to finish this manga. Sometimes I read one or two chapters a day, sometimes I read none, occasionally I read a larger batch at once. I imagine if I read this series all together at a faster pace I’d have an easier time following it. But as is, I must admit I was kinda lost at times. Sometimes people were duking it out and I couldn’t really tell you why. I think some of that confusion would get cleared up by a re-read, but not necessarily all of it. There’s a whole lot of moving parts, arguably too many, and shit just kinda happens sometimes.

Tokyo Ghoul’s story didn’t hold my interest consistently, but I still liked it overall. As I’ve said before I find the complex and fractured relationship of humans and ghouls quite compelling. The twists and turns of Ken Kaneki’s personal journey are also an impressive sight to behold. Even when I didn’t entirely get what’s going on those gorgeous panels and emotionally riveting moments still shined through.

The Characters

Yeah, I’ll be honest, I could not keep track of all these characters. It’s a big part of why I couldn’t fully get into it. There’s a bunch of different organizations and factions or whatever right? There’s humans fighting ghouls, but also ghouls fighting ghouls. And certain humans supporting ghouls. And the humans don’t all get along either. There’s certainly something interesting in that interplay. But picture this, there are two people fighting, right? Sure. They’ve both got some cool moves, that’s not the issue. The issue arises when I have no clue who either of the fuckers fighting are, and only a vague notion of why they’re fighting at all. This happened a few too many times for my liking.

I could not possibly discuss every character, there are too damn many of them. I’ve also forgotten many of them already. However, there’s a few characters I genuinely did like. Shout out to Tsukiyama. But really I’m just going to take time to discuss the two characters I cared for the most: Ken Kaneki and Touka Kirishima. Rather surprising picks I know.

Ken Kaneki

When we first meet this guy he doesn’t seem like much. He’s a meek bookish college student with a design befitting a generic harem protagonist. Honestly if he stayed how he was at the start that comparison wouldn’t be super far off. However, when the plot starts happening he develops right along with it. It is difficult to describe what kind of character Ken Kaneki is. I could give you a different answer depending on the chapter. The dramatic shifts in his character throughout is one of his most interesting qualities. His design, personality, and circumstance all shift in tandem.

I’m hard pressed to think of any other characters that do anything quite like this. I’m not sure if there even is one. The closest I can think of is Punpun, whose design changes considerably at different stages of his life. However, Punpun is a human dealing with human dramas. He does change throughout the story, but he doesn’t usually shift as quickly and drastically as Kaneki can. This is not a knock on Punpun or Kaneki, it reflects the differences in their stories. Ken Kaneki’s character shifts are generally a consequence of fantastical situations. Real people don’t get organ transplants from ghouls, so they can’t quite replicate his changes. Honestly I’m surprised I’m discussing Ken Kaneki in the same breath as Punpun. Goodnight Punpun is my favorite manga ever after all. I can’t say Tokyo Ghoul measures up to Punpun overall, but that’s not Kaneki’s fault.

In spite of how drastically Ken Kaneki’s character shifts, there’s a certain consistency to it. Each form has a well defined personality that doesn’t stray without good reason. The shifts in personality aren’t random either. Dramatic as they are, they (mostly) make sense in context. There’s a throughline in every step. It’s honestly impressive that Ishida was able to pull that off.

In spite of his many changes there remain certain things at the core of Kaneki’s character. Like the sheer volume of shit he goes through at every stage. I could go on forever about all the traumatic things this guy experiences, but I’d like to hone in on what happens before he ever gets his organ transplant.

First of all his father died when he was four. Not ideal. His mother lasted longer but eventually died to overworking when he was ten. Also not ideal obviously. Things weren’t all great while she was alive either. He remembers his mother as a kind woman, and she was for the most part. However, you can trace many of the distortions of his personality to her influence.

She instilled the idea of letting yourself be hurt to help others into him, and he frequently puts that philosphy into action. He often tries to handle major issues on his own and endures a lot of pain in the process. There may be something noble in that idea, but it has severe limitations. His mother took on too much trying to help both her sister and son. She died as a result, leaving her son with severe abandonment issues. As it turns out letting yourself get hurt doesn’t necessarily spare other people from pain. The people that care for you can be hurt by seeing you get hurt. Clearly his mother should’ve read Oregairu.

Not only did his mother instill Kaneki with a flawed philosophy, she wasn’t consistent about it herself either. There were times when she abused him, likely as a result of her pent up stress. Furthermore, he got adopted by his aunt after his mother died, and he had a shitty time there. This all adds up to a rather unfortunate childhood that haunts him the entire manga. It’s another big part of why his character shifts so drastically so often. He undergoes a lot of traumatic experiences in the manga for sure, but he wasn’t exactly mentally stable to begin with.

That’s Ken Kaneki for you. There’s a ghoul inside of him. It brings him great power and great suffering. However, before any of that there’s a lonely ass kid. That kid never really goes away, he just develops a healthier relationship with him… y’know, eventually.

Fortunately for Kaneki, he’s not really alone. Even if he lost his original family he manages to find a new one. He counts both humans and ghouls among their ranks. On the human side there’s Hide, his best friend since childhood. He’s an unequivocally great guy, and Kaneki would surely be a lot more fucked up without him. Or dead. I’m not going to comment much further than that, but I’m sure you can find some shippers online to fill you in. All power to them.

As for the ghoul side there’s multiple folks he comes to love. A big part of why he accepts both humans and ghouls is how he found family of sorts in both. He’s seen that both sides have great capacity for cruelty and kindness. He sees that they’re not as different as society led him to believe. I’m not going to discuss every individual he cares about, but it’s time to talk about one he feels particularly strongly for.

Touka Kirishima

The time has finally come to talk about Tokyo Ghoul’s best girl. Part of me thinks I’d enjoy this series more if she showed up more often. On the other hand, it’d be a rather different story if she did. Things generally stop feeling quite so bleak when she’s around. That’s the power of her presence.

Touka changes considerably as the series goes on. Not to the extent Ken Kaneki does, but she doesn’t really need to. She’s sort of edgy when we first meet her. She’s a bit standoffish and doesn’t accept Kaneki at first. To be fair, Kaneki doesn’t really accept ghouls in general at that point either. Even so, it doesn’t take that long for her to warm up to him. She may be a ghoul with a prickly exterior, but there’s some genuine sweetness underlying that. Hence why she was drawn to Anteiku, a peaceful ghoul faction/coffee shop. She also went to school and had a human friend of her own there. Even as her ghoul status and troubled past make things difficult she longs for a normal life.

Clearly she could’ve gone in a more violent direction from the start. Both of her parents were killed by peacekeepers. Her own brother went down that route himself. Instead of being drawn into the violence and revenge she was repelled by it.

I find it a bit interesting how the story draws parallels between Touka’s father and Kaneki. Both are generally kind people with a violent side. They also look pretty similar. Her father represents a path Kaneki could go down and the tragedy awaiting him there. Also possibly some unresolved Electra complex, but let’s not worry too much about that.

To be clear Touka’s not all peaceful all the time. She can fuck shit up when she needs to. However, she doesn’t take such actions without a strong reason. So in that sense her transition from the spunky teenager she was at the start to the more domestic figure we see in Re makes sense. She needed to chill out first for Kaneki to have any hope of following along. I like how she developed overall, but I can’t help but feel like there’s something off about it.

Basically, after a certain point Touka’s main purpose in the story became the wife that Kaneki wants to come home to. Doesn’t exactly fit her initial cool image. The problem isn’t that they got married, I was happy to see that. It’s that I wish she played a bit more of an active role. To that point she certainly has her moments to shine, but the cool moments are limited. Doesn’t feel quite right.

Even though I have mixed feelings about Touka’s role in Re the romance developments were still great to see. Given what the series is usually about you wouldn’t necessarily expect a romance subplot. Much less a substantial, mostly well-written one. Yet that’s what we got.

TouKen

I’ve talked enough about these two by themselves, how about these two with each other? Even if I didn’t ship them it’s too big a part of the story to ignore. Fortunately, I do like the pairing so their developments were welcome.

In the Tokyo Ghoul half of the story the romantic developments were a subtle presence. We see Touka do the whole tsundere “this dude sucks” to “this dude’s kinda cool actually” transformation, but it’s not explicitly shown in a romantic way. You could interpret their relationship platonically with ease. They clearly became important to each other, but after a certain point their paths diverged. Once that happened their reunion became a dramatic event.

So there were some romantic undertones in the first half for sure. They were the couple you wanted to see but the plot didn’t have space for. Well, maybe you didn’t. Perhaps you wanted to see Kaneki with the dude he ate the mouth off of instead. Regardless nobody really got their way at the end of part one. You can say that about ships or the story in general.

And then Re happens.

Touka’s fate is a bit of a mystery at the start of Re. We know Kaneki has become Haise. He’s forgotten his past and now fights ghouls on behalf of humans. He shouldn’t remember Touka at all. Nevertheless, when he sees her working at the cafe…

That look says it all. He got an eyeful of Touka and became entranced. Did his body remember his feelings towards her? Did he truly forget and fall in love with her again? It’s adorable either way. But for Haise, who can’t remember Touka, she’s a beautiful woman working at a cafe. That’s the extent of their relationship. Yet for Touka she knows full well who he is. She realizes he doesn’t remember her and that he’s a ghoul investigator quickly. There’s plenty she wants to say to him, but doing so is a huge risk. So in spite of their mutual attraction their relationship’s frozen. She’ll gladly offer him a home to return to, but only when he needs one.

Touka’s in a difficult position, yet she handles the situation with grace. It’s hard to imagine the Touka we saw in the original Tokyo Ghoul pulling that off. It’s a sign of how much she’s matured and mellowed out. I suppose this kind of calm placating deceit is essential to survival as a peaceful ghoul. Plenty reasonable but also a rather passive approach. Sure enough Kaneki eventually regains his memories and reunites with Touka. And when that happens Touka doesn’t stay passive for long.

The way she casually sits closer to him. The way she just asks straight up with little obvious buildup. The way his coffee meets the ground. Pure perfection. Well, I’m sure you can find some way to take issue with it. Like how Touka feeling compelled to lead with sex ties into a whole host of issues with gender norms, the exploitation of a woman’s sexuality, and stuff like that. Pretty much anything with sex involved ever is problematic actually. I haven’t touched ex-Twitter since last November and the brain poison still has a hold on my mind. I’m sure Tumblr has Some Thoughts too. There’s probably some long online rants out there about how Touka going straight to sex is Bad. Maybe they have some decent points somewhere. You’re not going to hear them from me.

Admittedly, when someone gets asked if they’re a virgin in anime/manga there’s usually something questionable afoot. There’s this certain channel of thought where being a pure virgin is ideal and anything less is worthless. Assuming you’re a girl any way, hardly anyone cares about a dude’s virginity. Yet Touka sure does for some reason. I’d like to take some time to consider why.

I think we can safely assume Touka doesn’t care about Kaneki’s purity or whatever. If Kaneki told her he was not a virgin she would not aggressively reject him. Years have passed since they last saw each other, it would not be that strange if he got laid during that time. That right there is part of the reason. Has he been with anyone else? Does he got anything going on with anyone at the moment? No? Cool.

So she’s coming on to him, that much is pretty obvious. To everyone but Kaneki any way. She’s been waiting years for this guy and she’s not so patient once he’s back. Yet even with all that in mind this is a kinda drastic move. What compels her to do that? The ensuing conversation offers some clues.

Tokyo Ghoul is not above doing some cliche anime shit. Like of course somebody shows up to interrupt when things are getting steamy. Foiled by the plot once again. Yet even in that short time frame they covered a lot of important ground. Touka makes it more obvious what she wants to know. Whether he has someone else he’s involved with. Maybe that was why he acted like he didn’t recognize her. The truth is a lot more strange and complicated, but she doesn’t know that. Many such cases.

Kaneki doesn’t give her a clear answer, he mostly just drinks coffee in discomfort. His cluelessness tells her enough. She asks him another question, asking why Kaneki takes his boys with him and leaves her behind. Is it because sexism? Kaneki certainly is treating her differently. Kaneki knows full well she can fight. He’s just especially afraid of losing her. Keeping her away from danger seems like a safe bet to do that. The issue with that is Kaneki could just as easily lose her by losing himself. He’s already been through plenty of shit going it alone. Touka wants him to understand his own value. How much she values him. Desperately so.

Kaneki then asks if she wants to fuck him to keep him around. Perhaps that is part of the reason. But honestly would this dude realize how serious she is any other way? Possibly, but she doesn’t have much time to work with. She is in love with a mentally unstable man who puts himself in danger frequently. She doesn’t know how long he’ll be around. Sprinkle in some horniness and sex starts seeming like the move.

For Kaneki’s part I find his awkward fumbling through the conversation cute in a way. The less cute part is why he was so unprepared for this conversation. It’s simple enough to say he’s clueless in love matters, but it’s not just a Touka exclusive issue. He was neglected for much of his childhood and his adult life comes with whole new layers of shit. He doesn’t have a healthy relationship with love nor does he see himself as worthy of it. Even though he has a major crush on her he hardly realized it. Touka realized she had a chance with him before he did.

As for why he’s so clueless, you can look at it two ways. Option A is Dense Anime Protagonist Syndrome, a common affliction in this space. Many an anime girl’s advances thwarted by willful ignorance. These fuck ass zero personality anime boys think women wouldn’t be interested in them so even the most obvious signs get disregarded. To be fair, they’d usually be right realistically. Is that true of Kaneki? Well, kinda. But his reason for thinking women wouldn’t be interested in him is less “Oh I’m just a Dull Guy” and more “I was neglected as a child and have a hard time believing anyone could love me unconditionally.” That’s Option B. I think there’s a bit of both going on.

I’d also like to mention their exchange about how Kaneki stared at her constantly while he was still Haise. A relatable mistake, one I still haven’t completely fixed myself. When certain ladies catch my eye I hardly want to look at anything else. As it turns out, doing that tends to make people uncomfortable for understandable reasons. Yet Touka doesn’t mind. Maybe she would if it was some random guy, but not when it’s him. This exchange is really all you need to see how far they’ve fallen for each other.

But then shit starts getting real, and one of Kaneki’s old cop buddies shows up to wreck shit. There’s always a bit of an underlying violence in love triangles, but Tokyo Ghoul takes it literally. It’s honestly a hard to take this part fully seriously, but that’s fine.

Once they escape that situation it doesn’t take long for Touka to initiate the deed. The fated chapter 125, the one chapter where many people that don’t read Tokyo Ghoul still know about. I was planning on writing a Big Thing about this too, but honestly I don’t want to anymore. I’m sure this has been thoroughly hashed out from damn near every concievable angle on social media already. What do I have to add? Some unique perspective I guess, but something tells me we don’t need more people heavily analyzing Touka and Kaneki’s intimate moment.

These guys are crazy for each other, they’ll go to war for each other in a very literal sense. They’ve got that intensity to the relationship that somehow works in spite of their baggage. All power to them.

Conclusion

Tokyo Ghoul is an impressive piece of art but man it was a drag sometimes. The problem is the parts I found boring are probably the thing that let this manga stay unaxed until the end. Can’t go too long without a cool boom boom fight scene, the reader numbers might go down! There’s something to be said about the incentive structures of manga releases. Artist autonomy is limited by various industry and audience pressures and many burn out through the process. I bet Ishida’s one of them. Still the pressure cooker keeps going because great art can still come out of it. Artists can be incredible like that.

I could keep gushing about how cool the art is, there’s plenty to compliment throughout. Ishida has a really unique style and a knack for intensity. It’s no wonder this manga is so loved. But I don’t need to tell you that. If you’ve read this manga you know all about that. Even if you didn’t, I bet the samples I’ve provided tell you enough.

Instead I’d like to talk more about this underlying theme of the ghouls. One that seems especially relevant right now. I currently live in America under the Trump regime. It is now officially possible that I get kidnapped by ICE agents and trafficked to El Salvador and never come back. This can happen to anyone in the country they don’t like. I’m getting a bit of the Tokyo Ghoul experience live. Some people are living this nightmare out with no due process as I type. Shit sucks to say the least.

Opponents of the Trump regime don’t have any special fighting powers like the ghouls do. However, we do have the advantage of being the majority of the country and world’s population. The ghouls never had that. That puts us in a far better position. If the ghouls could work it out and find a way to work together with humans so can we. I don’t think the solutions Ishida came to can be fully applied here, but he’s not completely off either. Collaboration is key if we ever want to get out of this mess.

So that’s Tokyo Ghoul, even as I dragged my feet through parts of it I’m glad I got through it. It’s certainly got issues but it’s a rather impressive work in many respects. I hope it gets an anime adaptation that doesn’t suck one day. To be fair, the first season was… fine? I honestly haven’t seen the other seasons I justtrust the general consensus. Still this thing’s ripe for a remake with some serious talent behind it. Every year that it doesn’t happen just shows how braindead anime producers can be.

So that wraps up my first blog of 2025. We’re 4 months in and uh, yeah… Stressful times to say the least. I think I got something good going for me in my personal life, but everything’s so volatile right now. Just like I dragged my feet finishing Tokyo Ghoul’s manga I did so for my blog post about it as well. This thing was months in the making. If you enjoyed what you read consider subscribing. I probably won’t write about Tokyo Ghoul again, but you might like my other offerings any way. Hopefully. Who knows.

We’ll any ways, I’ll see you guys whenever my next blog post is ready. There’s a couple Game Trade reviews on the way. You’ll probably see a certain Spartan’s review next on this blog. Well, hopefully any way. It’d be kind of crazy if I got mine out first, I haven’t even started writing it yet!
