Ok, so i read all of tokyo ghoul up to 143
- Thread starter Fountain
- Start date
I am so confused already, where are all of kaneki's friends? Where is kaneki? Didn't he died? And why are there so many weird investigators? and who is sasaki? ughh... Is Tokyo ghoul:re even canon?

Just have patience. Also, when we read even the first chapter we were all pretty much sure what was going on. But not certain, hence it was intriguing. If the mangaka explains everything at once then the mystery would be lost.

You guys would be surprised how many of TG's readers share the same opinion as this guy. It's kinda sad, but also somewhat understandable.
I disagree, if the said artist manages to answer all the questions as time goes by, that doesn't mean that he writes badly but on the contrary that he writes in a very organized way because to leave unanswered questions for the future is one of the most basic ways to make a story intriguing, if everything was given to us directly, it wouldn't be as great as it is. Besides, it's not that it takes too long to start questioning who Haise really is. I mean, the hints start already from chapter 6, it's not like you'll lose interest by the time that happens.
A story that can't satisfy some readers but does satisfy the vast majority doesn't mean that it's a bad story but that the said readers are incapable of following it efficiently.

I never once said the story is bad, or lacks good flow. What I meant by ''understandable'' was that the Tokyo Ghoul fanbase generally favors two aspects of the manga almost exclusively from what I've been reading online:
- The ghoul side and its characters.
- Kaneki.
The first is evidently much, much less present in :re compared to the original, and it's pretty clear the focus has been shifted to the CCG. Obviously, Kaneki is also ''gone'' and ''replaced'' by a new character. Now add the fact that there are a lot of new characters introduced, a large part of which are CCG members who apparently don't have the same appeal as ghouls, not to mention known and liked characters that barely have panel time, and this is where the average reader - Mannequin, for example - starts to lose patience and not appreciate the hidden gems and actual importance of how Tokyo Ghoul's continuation is done.
TG:re has a more select audience than the original TG. In my opinion it's better than TG was at this stage, and if it keeps up or improves in the future (which it will), it'll surpass it completely.

True but the thing is that this "randomness" starts to become less random the moment you read chapter 6, it's not like you have to read for weeks and reach let's say chapter 15 to say finally he's back.

^ It's one of the best manga out there. Definitely worth the read.
