Tokyo Ghoul fans, you’re in for a treat. There are two pieces of news that’ll just make your day. First off is that the 46th issue of Young Jump will feature the continuation of Tokyo Ghoul manga with new title, Tokyo Ghoul: re. So what can we expect from Tokyo Ghoul: re? There’s not much details as the announcement only say that it will be “another Tokyo Ghoul story” penned by the mangaka, Sui Ishida.
The Tokyo Ghoul fest doesn’t stop there though as the second season of anime was also confirmed for the Winter 2015 season. The 12 episode anime adaptation by Studio Perriot just ended last season and was really well received by audiences, so this news of a second season will likely be welcomed. News of second season of anime is first leaked on a Chinese streaming site right after the end of first season and so far, a teaser trailer (located below) has also been released as well.
We first featured Tokyo Ghoul in our Top 5 Summer 2014 Anime feature but if you do need a refresher on the story, here it is. The anime follows university student Kaneki who is trying to date a very beautiful and enigmatic woman called Rize but has bitten more than he can chew. Apparently Rize is a ghoul which feasts on human flesh and is fully intent on having Kaneki as her meal when an accident happens mortally wounding both parties. During the rescue operation, Rize’s organ are transplanted into Kaneki to save him, which inadvertently made him into a human/ghoul hybrid. As a result, he has to constantly battles to suppress his innate hunger for human flesh while dealing with a host of new problems as a result of his transformation.
