東京喰種トーキョーグール 9 [Tokyo Guru 9]
by Sui Ishida
I like how this had a small time skip going on. Especially cause this is where the anime starts to falter yet the Manga is actually picking up steam.
So after the brutal last volume this one shows us what Kankei and his crew have been up to. All their missions and their goals for the future. What Kankei has become and how powerful he is now and as a leader. Yet he's still funny and goofy at times. Everything opposite of what the show gave us sadly. Then we also get to see the Doves and their mission and who's moving on up and what they are doing to eliminate the ghouls.
Good: Slower burn but it opens the world up to more and more possibilities. I also loved getting to see our favorite Dove leader now with a new partner and some good comedic moments. I thought the fights in this were great, and showing the evolution of a lot of characters. Also the Kankei moment with the jewelry left for his loved one was sad.
Bad: It's slower so it's jarring of the sudden change. Also half the volume moves away from the ghouls which some people don't like.
Overall a very very solid volume once more. A lot of slower moments that help build character and new exciting missions for a lot of them. A 4 out of 5.
