Kaneki, Nishio and Touka struggle to work together to rescue their human friend Kimi while Ghoul Investigator deaths skyrocket in wards 9 through 12. It all leads to an increase in CCG agents and an increased risk for Ghouls. As reinforcements are called in on both sides, the stakes are suddenly higher than ever.

    The first half of this volume is an intense battle with many “power ups” as ghouls break out their kagune against each other. Ishida provides a nice balance in this volume with Rize's backstory and focusing on the CCG's investigations and inner workings. There's also a moment bouncing back to Anteiku Cafe so we can see how the ghouls recovered from their devastating fight. The story pacing is good once again even if this volume doesn't have quite as much depth philosophically as some of the other volumes. There are some some moments that defy expectations and allow for some discussion, such as the definition of beauty, and continuing the conversation of good vs. evil. Read Full Review
