After touting last week that the manga was set to make a huge announcement, it was unveiled that Sui Ishida’s Tokyo Ghoul:re manga will be coming to an end in just three chapters. The announcement was made in the 28th issue of Shueisha’s Young Jump magazine where it stated that if there were no delays, the manga will come to an end on July 5. The announcement also restated that the Tokyo Ghoul:re anime will be receiving a second season this October.
Currently, VIZ Media holds the license to the entire manga series and is distributing it in North America.
MyAnimeList.net describes the story of the sequel series as follows:
Two years have passed since the CCG’s raid on Anteiku. Although the atmosphere in Tokyo has changed drastically due to the increased influence of the CCG, ghouls continue to pose a problem as they have begun taking caution, especially the terrorist organization Aogiri Tree, who acknowledge the CCG’s growing threat to their existence.
The creation of a special team, known as the Quinx Squad, may provide the CCG with the push they need to exterminate Tokyo’s unwanted residents. As humans who have undergone surgery in order to make use of the special abilities of ghouls, they participate in operations to eradicate the dangerous creatures. The leader of this group, Haise Sasaki, is a half-ghoul, half-human who has been trained by famed special class investigator, Kishou Arima. However, there’s more to this young man than meets the eye, as unknown memories claw at his mind, slowly reminding him of the person he used to be.
As of now, there is no talk on whether or not there will be a third manga series or if the second season of the anime will adapt the full story.
