It depends on personal preferences. Some people might think Tokyo Ghoul is better for its original story and character development. Others might prefer Tokyo Ghoul:Re for its continuation and new plot twists.
Tokyo Ghoul Doujinshi referred to the re-creation of characters from original manga, animation, games, and other works to create different storylines, character personalities, worldviews, and so on.
There were many doujinshi works of Tokyo Ghoul. Some of them involved the main characters in the original works such as Kimaki Ken, Yoshihiro Tomichi, and Pleiades Ayuki. There were also some works that focused on other characters such as Takagi and Shogun Suyama.
Doujinshi novels usually had a high degree of imagination and creativity. The creator could create new storylines and characters according to his own preferences and inspiration. Some doujin novels also involved elements that did not appear in the original novel, such as superpowers, foreign worlds, etc., to bring readers a new reading experience.
Doujinshi was an important part of Tokyo's ghoul fan culture. Not only did it provide entertainment for the fans of the original novel, but it also provided a new reading experience and imagination for other readers.
There are many doujin novels about Tokyo Ghouls, some of which may include the following content:
1. Plot unrelated to the original work such as:
- Other characters appear to interact with the original characters or turn them into characters.
- Changing the character or appearance of the original character or merging them with other characters.
- Create other types of Tokyo Ghoul works such as manga, animation, games, movies, etc.
2. An adaptation of the original plot such as:
- Add new plots such as battle scenes or conversations between characters.
- Changing some of the original plot, such as the relationship between the characters or the ending.
- Combining the original characters with other characters to create new characters.
3. The combination of the original work and Doujin novels, for example:
- Combining the original work with the theme of a Doujin novel to create a new genre.
- Combining the original plot with the plot of a Doujin novel to create a new storyline.
- Combining the original work with the characters of Doujin novels to create new characters.
There were many different types and styles of Doujin novels about Tokyo Ghoul, and readers could choose to read them according to their preferences.
Well, for a Tokyo Ghoul fan, reading fanfiction while being a fan of the original can be a mixed bag. On one hand, it's exciting to see how other fans' creativity expands the world. For example, there could be fanfictions that focus on the backstories of minor characters. However, sometimes the quality can vary. Some might not capture the essence of the Tokyo Ghoul world as well as others. But overall, it gives a chance to delve deeper into the fandom.
The biggest distinction is that Tokyo Ghoul:re builds upon the foundation of Tokyo Ghoul and expands the world and lore. The character arcs evolve differently, and there are new challenges and conflicts. Both manga have their unique charm though.
The Tokyo Ghoul manga is definitely worth reading. The action scenes are exciting, and the character development is compelling. It keeps you hooked from start to finish.
