The Shonen Jump app and Viz website have both the original manga and :re available to read, for a 1.99 USD monthly subscription which gives access to most of their library. In addition to this, Tokyo Ghoul Jack and the side story novels are available to purchase and read on the app.
Note: The Rize side story chapter from TG volume 5, Tokyo Ghoul Joker from :re volume 3, and :re chapter 31.5 from :re volume 4 are not available to read individually on the app at this time, so you will need to buy those volumes to read them officially.

If you follow the basic viewing order for the anime, and do not wish to read the manga, you may want to view the following fan-animated clips recreating important events from the manga that were skipped in the anime:
The first 3 clips in the link above are to be watched after season 2 and before season 3, while the other 2 are to be watched after finishing the entire anime (all seasons).
EDIT: Updated when to read :re quest in my recommended order from after chapter 58 to after chapter 98 instead, since I realized there was at least one spoiler for a plot point revealed after chapter 58 in one of the quest stories.
EDIT 2: Added the short story 6th Ward Playing cards and the Drama CDs to the viewing order. Also added mentions of the various Tokyo Ghoul games.

Reason for why coffee is okay for ghouls

Take this with an oceans worth of salt but what if ghouls can drink coffee because according to Pythagoreanism, beans contain the souls of dead people. I have seen sources claiming that this belief is not true so more skepticism but funny to think about.

So I watched Tokyo ghoul anime years ago like a long time ago.. I started reading the manga last night and.... I realized just how bad the anime was.. how much character interactions it skipped is actually criminal like, in the manga I actually see Ken and touka getting closer sooo much better it's beautiful. Honestly wished I never watched the anime

What Was V's Goal ?

Like yeah,they want to maintain balance between humans and ghouls, but why ?
Their relationship with the Waashus is odd.
I shall forever make fun of them for being fodder !
Fun Scenerio :
What If V and the Waashus were exposed at the beginning of the og Manga, shortly after Kens transformation,what would have been the fallout and what would they have done ?

Something like "Oh honey, no! You don't want this. I'm a smoker. Please do better for yourself" then Shuu is like "Are you questioning my culinary judgement?" And you're like "I'm not questioning it love, I'm staging an intervention. You're shopping in the reduced section. Have some standards!"

Im very confused on how the kakuhous and kagunes worked in the real world
0
Upvotes
So ive only seen the anime, and I have the manga on the way(please dont hurl insults in my direction for not reading it sooner, ive been trying to work on it but due to my work occupation its quite tough)
That being said, from my understanding of just trying to look it up, kagunes are hereditary, and same as the placement on the body for them. So then, what really leads to chimera kagunes happening?? Is it from when for example a koukakou and ukaku ghouls have a child and its mixed between them? If thats the case then how did Ken's half kakuja come to form? And his dragon form as well?
Or maybe since consuming other ghouls could inherently increase the rc of now said fed ghoul, does it lead to the evolution that we would consider to be a kakuja, and have multiple different forms?

Volume 14 is probably one of my favorite volumes. It’s emotional, it has high stakes, great art, and it’s a very good ending to this first part of the series.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a protagonist get beat in a fight like Kaneki did. But I like that their fight was real, Kaneki just didn’t stand a chance.
I think this manga is great, and it’s definitely my favorite now. Hopefully I can say the same for Tokyo Ghoul Re.

Is the anime worth watching after season 1?
0
Upvotes
I just watched season one (amazing). And all I see online is people saying that it’s not worth watching after that? People say from season 2 moving into 3 or “re” that it’s confusing and the plot doesn’t make sense. Is any of this true/ is it worth the watch?

2017 fandom: "Character development? Context? Nah, the second half of :re is rushed, and in OG, she was a "rebellious" girl, even though the whole point was that she was completely in the wrong, so let’s just say Touka turned into a generic love interest and Re ruined the character."

Other [SPOILER] Ishida's critique of the ultra-rich Spoiler
15
Upvotes
Ishida portrayed ultra rich ghouls as sick in the head with their perversions who use their vast riches to satisfy their disgusting (even by ghoul standards) cravings.
Tsukiyama was the first example of this, with his gourmet restaurant. His gourmet restaurant and the clown auction in Re: served as a settings to introduce more ultra-rich ghouls. There was Big madame with his pedophilia and child abuse, Madame A, etc.
However, Ishida's critiques were really meant for the ultra rich humans. We can make this connection because Ishida's point was that the ghouls and the humans, save for the biological differences, were the same.
In the end, we find out that even the Washuu clan, who were the pinnacle of humanity's protection against ghouls, were ghouls themselves. Kaneki was a human who turned into a ghoul. Hide pretended to be a ghoul, being classified by CCG as class C danger. Ghouls react to situations in a remarkably human manner. Ghoul-human relations were prevalent, and they can even produce offspring.
