The manga was worth the read and the time invested in it as is the anime. If you have seen horror anime style, you will know that it's different to the Western idea of what horror is to us, and as most anime horror series are made for a teen audience, Tokyo Ghoul revolves around high schooler, Kei Kaneki who is shy around others and has a friend who wants him to have more friends and most of all get a girl. He likes taking him out to diners and that is where he meets a girl who he delights in telling him is into the same book as he's currently reading: The Egg of the Black Goat. His friend is happy for him, but love for Kei is about to get complicated. When they go out on a date, she acts as normal as she can, but hides the secret she is actually a ghoul who intends to devour him alive!

Who would have thought it, Rock Lee getting his own show and though it's a few years old it's only just become available in English in the UK. As it's a 12 rated anime, it's also been arranged with the characters we know and adore in chibi style, complete with floating hearts and a certain set of crows flying around while the characters stumble around!
