Sui Ishida’s Tokyo Ghoul was one of the 2010s most popular anime and manga franchises, introducing countless new fans to the medium while receiving acclaim from nearly every direction. Serializing during a time dominated by works like Attack on Titan and Hunter x Hunter, both of which enjoyed massive booms in popularity due to their anime adaptations, Tokyo Ghoul seemed primed to become anime and manga’s next big thing. Receiving an anime adaptation of its own in 2014, the series cemented itself as a can’t miss story.
