For those unfamiliar with the series, Tokyo Ghoul was serialized in 14 Volumes from November 2014 to October 2016, and subsequently received a sequel titled Tokyo Ghoul: re serialized in 16 other tankobons over the next two years. . The resounding success of the series also led to the making of a prequel, Tokyo Ghoul: Jack, a two film adaptations and a three season anime adaptation curated by Studio Pierrot.
