“The world is like an egg. In order for something new to be born, the world must first be broken to pieces.”

First things first, Kaneki looked WAY too good in this volume — the white suits overall were so cool. I’m really excited to see him as the one eyed king.  

Furuta is such a cold character! He’s so manipulative and he really plays with people’s lives like they are pieces on his chessboard. Other times I just can’t take him seriously and I think he intends for that. He’s making himself look weak in order to make everyone diminish him so he can freely exploit them to his advantage. 

Urie is a character that has really grown on me since the first volume when I really didn’t care for him. He pushes himself past his limits to gain the respect of his dead father which he can never attain. He doesn’t only hate Kuroiwa because of jealousy, but I think he resents him for still having a father when Urie’s father “left” him. And now all his trying has lead to him going too far, and both his eyes have turned red. 

After finishing this volume I really want to know more about Uta and what his role in this operation is. How is it possible that he can shapeshift, and how does he know what faces he should use to affect the emotions of his opponents?  

I’m hoping that Kaneki and Takizawa will one day talk about what they have been through, because their experiences are very similar. 

Honorable mentions:
— Shuu singing karaoke 
— Touka bashing Kaneki’s head against the table (she wants him so bad) 
— Akira on the bringe of death calling for her cat (I would do the same)
— Urie admiring Mutsuki in his coat
