Tokyo Ghoul

Ken Kaneki is a shy university student. Kaneki would rather have a book open than hold a conversation. Then comes a first date with a girl Kaneki admires. The date ends in an attack.

That setup opens a story tagged Action, Horror, Mystery, Psychological and Supernatural. The themes are Cannibalism, Urban Fantasy, Gore and Survival. Sui Ishida did both the story and the art.

In Japan the series is finished at 14 volumes. In English 10 are out. That leaves four volumes not yet in English. No date for the next English volume is listed. The Tokyo Ghoul series page has the volume list.

Tokyo Ghoul:re

This is the finished set. Tokyo Ghoul:re goes back to the Tokyo of Tokyo Ghoul. Ghouls still live hidden among humans. They stay alive by eating them.

The genres add Drama to the Action, Horror, Mystery, Psychological and Supernatural tags. Its themes are Philosophy, Dystopian, Body Horror and Shapeshifting. Story and art are again by Sui Ishida.

The series is finished in Japan with 16 volumes. All 16 are out in English. That makes it complete in English. See the Tokyo Ghoul:re series page for the full run.

Choujin X

Choujin X is the one still running. Tokio Kurohara is a timid and anxious teenager. Tokio feels small next to a bold best friend. In Tokio's world some people become choujin.

It is tagged Action, Drama, Fantasy and Psychological. The themes are Urban Fantasy, Henshin, Super Power and Body Horror. Sui Ishida writes and draws it.

The series is still releasing in Japan. Japan has 17 volumes. English has 13. That puts the English edition four volumes behind. The next English release is Volume 14 from VIZ Media on 19 January 2027. Follow the rest on the Choujin X series page.

Where a new reader can start

The numbers make the choice simple. A short series that is complete in English is the easiest start. Only 1 series is complete in English.

• Tokyo Ghoul:re is complete in English at 16 volumes. You can read it to the last page today.
• Tokyo Ghoul is the shortest at 14 volumes. Only 10 are in English so far.
• Choujin X has 13 English volumes. Volume 14 is due on 19 January 2027. It is still releasing in Japan.

For a full read with no wait Tokyo Ghoul:re is the pick. Keep in mind that it returns to the Tokyo of Tokyo Ghoul. If you would rather start with Kaneki then pick Tokyo Ghoul. Expect to stop at volume 10 for now.
