2 years later and I’m still disappointed. Ugh.

Kaneki has been suffering so much throughout the whole story so I loved how he gets happy ending.

 

[yukaelw]

Kaneki really deserved this happy ending

 

[kaenkazaan]

I want to cry

While I'm glad we got a happy ending, man this sequel was a mess but I'm glad I didn't drop it and stuck through till the end.

what a god tier manga, art 10/10, plot was weird sometimes but it all came together

Enjoyable read bit of confusion and a mess but overall pretty nice. Took a dip after auction arc in my opinion.

i still have no idea who is ui and that woman with no legs but im so glad that naki didnt die. I guess this manga didn't get the edning that the author wanted but i enjoyed it anyway.

I know :re gets all this shit, and while it wasn't the masterpiece we all expected it to be, I got to hand it to Ishida for being able to pull through despite everything that was going on with him and his personal life.

Now, this is the second time I read this. The first time around, I was confused as hell after the first half of the manga. I only got that Kaneki had married Touka, he went crazy, and Hide was somehow still alive. That's it.

However, after my re-read, things start to make sense. I get a feeling I understand better what Ishida wanted to get from this, what he wanted to deliver. The names start getting a bit more clear, and the fight scenes make more sense. While I can still agree that there was wasted potential, the world of TG was getting really big and Ishida, in his current state, wasn't able to deal with it all. Still, the new characters he introduced, especially the Qs, were all very interesting and fun to see develop. It saddens me that the manga had to end in such note, but at least we *got* an ending, which is an achievement in of itself.

I'm thankful to Ishida for creating this story and all the characters that we saw grow and change throughout all those years. I hope he can rest after all his hardwork. In the meantime, I still cherish the journey he pulled us in and I will forever consider TG as one of my favorite manga series, and I hope people don't shit on the story or the author because of the way it ended. He had his reasons and we should be thankful for what he accomplished.

I'm also one of the people that stopped reading :re at some point. I stopped at chapter 132 because of some stuff going on irl and because I had been simply dreading where the story seemed to be heading. I became absolutely certain after Touka became pregnant that she would have a miscarriage while fighting or get killed and Kaneki would go centipede batshit insane again and get wrecked too. I used to be really attached to Kaneki back then, so thinking that this would be a repeat of the Anteiku Raid was making me terribly anxious and upset.

So yeah... I enjoyed the ending. I agree that it was pretty rushed and the way ghouls suddenly became part of society was a bit too convenient, but I'm happy that Kaneki got his happy ending.

I'm pretty bummed that Amon and Akira were left out though

Spoiler

I will never be able to see the Anteiku Raid as the real ending because it left way too many loose ends. Without :re we would've never learned wtf Kanou wanted and the shady business going on inside the CCG for example. Sure, we can piece everything together now, but back then it was a confusing, abrupt, incomplete and open-ended ending.
