We’re barely 8 chapters in, and we can see a lot. They did not jump ship or “cheat” the original. Hell, there’s even a chapter smack dab in the center called “Half Way Point.” The previous series was meant to end when it did. Frankly, the previous series wasn’t cheated at all. The creator and editor are very comfortable with the darkness of the series. The process they used is also different, which is why they can eat normal food, BUT concerns are brought up that the higher their RC count goes, the more their diet will change. All of them, with one exception, were made by the CCG and are constantly walking a line of being disposed of should they grow too dangerous. A distinction is made that these are experimental trials being ran to see if they can use them as weapons. The CCG has not started accepting half ghoul investigators. The good thing is: these characters EVOLVE through the series, growing out of their initial archetypes. Tokyo Ghoul constantly uses tropes and “cliché” characters in colorful ways. She’s learned you have to put some heart into it or you’ll fail. Characters who have shown up have developed in reasonable ways. I feel that the previous series was a giant prologue to set the world for this one, and I'm looking forward to seeing what becomes of it.Īs for the points he made in his post: This sequel has great potential, and I see it lasting a lot longer than the prequel. At 144 chapters, it shouldn't take too long to go through. However, that being said, not much will be said unless you go back and read said manga. This is a true blue sequel to the original Tokyo Ghoul manga. As of the original time posting this comment, the series is on chapter 7 translated and chapter 8 in Japan.

So, in regards to Criminal Intent's post, they are completely wrong.
