Tokyo Ghoul's Sui Ishida Resurrects Ken Kaneki With New Art

By Evan Valentine

After releasing a popular anime adaptation and receiving two live-action feature-length films, Tokyo Ghoul is currently missing in action as fans wait to see if Ken Kaneki will one day return to the small screen. While creator Sui Ishida is working on a new manga series in Choujin X, he continues to return to his masterpiece by creating new art focusing on the young protagonist who found himself gaining the abilities of a ghoul thanks to a terrifying encounter early on in the series. 

Tokyo Ghoul's latest anime series came to an end in 2018, with the anime franchise becoming popular enough to warrant two live-action films and a video game that put players into the shoes of Ken Kaneki. At present, there has been no word when it comes to the idea of Tokyo Ghoul returning to the world of anime, and/or new chapters of its manga being released, but it's clear that both the creator of the franchise and its fans still have lots of love for this world of flesh-eating ghouls.

Tokyo Ghoul – The Return of Ken

Sui Ishida took to his Official Twitter Account to share the new art of one of his most popular creations, with his account followed by over one million netizens:

If you haven't had the opportunity to dive into Sui Ishida's latest manga story, Choujin X, the series has shades of Tokyo Ghoul in its bones and the official description for the series reads as such:

"Best friends Tokio and Azuma do everything together, even if most of the time it feels like Tokio is just stumbling along in Azuma's cooler, more talented footsteps. But when they're attacked one night by a superhuman mutant called a choujin, Tokio finally has a chance to shine—by turning into a choujin himself! Being a superpowered creature isn't all it's cracked up to be, though. Tokio has to hide his transformation from his family and dodge a truancy charge at school, all while dealing with the increasingly odd incidents happening around town!"

Do you think we'll one day see the return of Tokyo Ghoul in either the manga or the anime field? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and the world of Ken Kanaki.
