I was more of a fan of the main manga and Jack than the original oneshot but if you are interested in Tokyo Ghoul then it's good to check it out to see where it all came from.

I liked this manga because it gave me some background on the best investigator in the tokyo ghoul universe. Though after Re came out it occured to me that they could have used this later on in a Arima flashback or something in RE. However, they decided to make it a separate series. I think it makes a good addition to the tokyo ghoul story.

If you read the original part of Tokyo Ghoul you will inevitably head to the sequel here. I feel as if it is not nearly as good as the first part... though it still has time to redeem itself. The story line is very predictable in this one. They introduced entirely too many new characters giving them all backstories. They talk up side characters and give them some screen time to try to make you care when they get killed a few chapters later. Many of the new characters are kinda annoying. There are plenty who fiercely defend the sequel thinking it to be just as good or even better. I am not one of those people. However, I will continue to read it because I was a fan of the first part and I want to finish what I started. I would recommend this sequel to the people who were up in arms about the ending of the original Tokyo Ghoul. Some people cannot handle a ending that deviates so artistically from what is expected at the end of a normal manga. However, to a person like me who reads a lot that was one of the reasons Tokyo Ghoul became unforgettable and a favorite. Re loses that edge. Though I will say that RE has had it's good moments. Most of which were nearer to the beginning in my opinion. So anyway, as I said previously, good or bad those who liked the first part will inevitably end up reading RE just because it is more Tokyo Ghoul. However, to me, so far, I couldn't give it a great review.
