Touka Kirishima slams Ken Kaneki's skull on the side of a building, concluding that he is a ghoul (to some extent) for his body remains unharmed. Touka speaks ill of Kaneki seeing as he doesn't fit in with humans or ghouls. She claims that if Kaneki wants to be a part of the human side, he should starve himself to oblivion. Touka also informs him that deprivation is incredibly painful for a ghoul, and that if he becomes hungry, he would murder and devour anything regardless of what he actually desires. Kaneki decides to return to school, where he finds the ghoul that attacked him in a back alley a day prior.
I very much enjoy the Tokyo
Ghoul series. Each and every twist and turn is unexpected, and they leave you
pleasantly (or gruesomely) surprised. Touka Kirishima's "get your act
together" attitude is refreshing in contrast to Kaneki wallowing in
self-pity up until this point. Hide's return grounds Kaneki, though he is still
battling with himself on the inside. Overall, Tokyo Ghoul Vol. 6, by Sui Ishida is very nicely set up,
and it seems as though things are only going to get better from here (or worse,
depending on your judgment).
