Though it’s certainly not a curse, there is a sense that when a lot of manga series get made into an anime series, it’s a gamble as to whether the manga will survive for long afterwards. Such is the case once again for Tokyo Ghoul, which has had the announcement that the September 18th issue of Weekly Young Jump will mark its final chapter. The series is getting the quick push to a final compiled volume as well as the fourteenth and final installment will be out on October 17th.
The series from Sui Ishida has been receiving generally strong reactions in its animated form that began this summer, which has been simulcast in North America by FUNimation.
Plot concept: Tokyo lives in fear of creatures called Ghouls. By day, they live as ordinary humans, but by night, they become flesh-eating monsters. When an young man becomes the first Ghoul-human half breed, he must learn to harness his deadly, newfound powers.
