Tokyo Ghoul, Vol. 3 by Sui Ishida
3.0

This was a solid volume if not a little predictable.

So with the death of a ghoul, Touka decides to take matters into her own hands. She goes RIGHT after the doves themselves. Slaughtering each one who did Hinami wrong and killed her mother and who are still after her. After some sneaking around all the pieces are set and the doves come face to face with the Ghouls trying to decide who will face who and what their death will mean.

Good: Loved some moments in here. My favorite with Touka going full badass and showing how strong she is. Also learning more about the Doves and seeing how they use their weapons and where they got them from. Hinami growing into her own too was nice.

Bad: Kaneki is kind of annoying here. Trying to make a statement is fine but why do it so...uselessly? It felt kind of a anime cliche 101. I also thought the sneaking in to the base was dumb and that the characters were smarter than that.

Overall the weakest volume so far but still very enjoyable. I've seen the anime so I know things are going to heart up soon but this one was kind of a lul in comparison to the first two exciting arcs.
