That sounds great - thanks, JMJ.

I hadn't known that there was a follow-up. I have the English (Viz Media) paperback books 1-4; and I believe that the fourth book only came out just before Christmas. I'll keep an eye open for Ghoul:re and Platinum End. Thanks again!


>>> Back from the dead! <<<

So, two years ago this month I started Tokyo Ghoul, mentioned it here and Jay kindly shared some thoughts. Stuff then happened and I stopped reading for no good reason. But - here in 2018 - I've returned to the series and I'm reading book two. It's ace and I have also picked up the first two books of the subsequent "Re:" series for when I've finished. Tokyo Ghoul is back in my life :toot: .


I missed this when posting about the Humble Bundle sale as I just quickly popped on to post, my apologies.

Glad to see you're back to enjoying it, Jawa. You should stop by from time to time to update us on your progress with the series. :wub:

A lot has happened in :re since our earlier discussion but it is still going strong, albeit likely leading up to the finale.

Puck?

-Miura is happy for an excuse to draw something less detailed for once what with the effort he puts into everything else.

-He feels he needs some form of comic relief to take the edge off the rampant child murder and rape.

It gets to the point where the fairies are just drawn that way by default and they only go detailed in the very rare circumstances they say something worthwhile.

I'm planning to give this a watch. Any good?

Will attempt to watch that again soon, but on my first viewing of it I couldn't get past the art style and colour palette.

Well, I didn't see this coming but it seems that Murata (artist of the One-Punch Man redraw and Eyeshield 21) is launching a Back To The Future manga.

I look forward to checking this out. :wub:

Be toying with the idea of watching that myself. You recommend it then?

Yep. It's bizarre & quite amusing.

The screenshot is real, the show is full of nerd culture references.

What's the deal with those bum mouth things?

Watched the first season of Overlord. Initially watched the first two eps of the subbed version then switched to the dub to see what that was like and stuck with it because the main character's voice is hilariously good.
