Special mention goes to Yamori's protomask and Kishou's significantly darker hair, since they tickle my fancy. Character design is fairly plain, but since the core cast is so small this time around, everyone is able to stand out. This is made more poignant right at the end, when the art starts to sharpen more to resemble the main series.Īction here is rendered adequately, but not to the heights of the original manga. This gives the whole story an atmosphere of hazy reflection and detachment developed through time.

Perhaps because of its setting in terms of the timeline, Ishida uses an even murkier artstyle here than before. While there's nothing particularly deep about this story, it continues exploring the themes of mainline TG: what IS humanity and its place in the 'food chain, along with how we handle the knowledge of said food chain. Thankfully, with 7 chapters, the pacing is tightly packed. The mystery in this story is pretty predictable, but the build-up towards it makes the climax as depressing as what the original TG pumped He is accompanied by a 'classmate', Taishi Fura, a tertiary character in the main series and arguably the actual protagonist of this miniseries. The story follows a ghoul case pursued by the then-teenaged Kishou Arima, the Reaper of the CCG in the main series. The plot and art are decent enough to carry how paper-thin the characterization is. 'Jack' is somewhat intriguing, even if it's not necessary at all for the Tokyo Ghoul mythos.
