2.0

This is the first Tokyo Ghoul volume I didn't like all that much.

So things have changed. Out Ken is not who he once was. Now joining up with the doves he has his own team of people wiping out Ghouls. However, deep inside his brain he still has the demon we all know and love. ON top of that we're introduced to almost all new characters, a new squad sent out to take out ghouls while being part ghoul. Interesting idea but...

Good: I like the stuff with Ken actually. As weird as it is, it leads up to some interesting moments. Also, the fights are as good as ever. Clear and brutal like I like it.

Bad: The new squad is not interesting at all. Also, heavy heavy amount of unneeded and unfunny humor. I also thought the plot and pacing were pretty slow and uninteresting.

Overall this is a weak first volume to the 2nd series for Tokyo Ghoul. I'm hoping the next few volumes pick up. A 2.5 out of 5.
