REVIEW

Book: The Book is nice, the pages are large(because its Viz Signature), there's a color page, which I always like the inclusion of. The Art looks pretty great. It has English onomatopoeia, which some don't like. There are no printing errors. Now, on to the one issue I had with the manga. The book has smudges on it, and yes I am aware how nit-picky that sounds. With the book being white, the smudges are very apparent. Luckily They do just wipe off with a wet napkin, but I feel you shouldn't have to wipe it down after getting it. Story: The story, in my opinion, starts off pretty strong in this manga, it deals mostly with the initial whiplash when Ken becomes a ghoul, with the last chapter or two focusing on a specific conflict(I know I'm vague, but I don't wanna spoil anything). Would Recommend.
