By this time, most people are convinced that Sasaki is indeed Kaneki. Too many things fit with it, may it be the physical appearance such as the height, or his behavior, or his hobbies- everything. Also, Ch.143 kind of hinted that Kaneki was still alive. Unless of course, Ishida is proving himself to be even a greater Troll than Kishimoto and reveals that Sasaki is in fact not Kaneki.
Ch. 11 spoilers are already out on tumblr. This website is respoinsible for the translation of the :RE chapters (you can follow their progress work, too): http://imperialscans.com/
Oh, I love the reunion scene b/w Sasaki, Yomo, and Touka T_T As for Touka's hair color, AHK made an interesting theory: Most likely she dyed her hair color to hide herself from the CCG. Remember back then how Sunohara and Suzuya questioned Touka about Kaneki's whereabouts? She probably needs to be careful b/c they are looking for the members of Anteiku after all. Who knows, maybe she even has a new identity now. I bet 100% though that she's going to the same university Kaneki went and is studying in the science department to become a Biology teacher or something like that.
I hope Hinami and Sasaki meet again soon. She loves her older brother after all T^T
I'm looking forward to your comparison video b/w the manga and anime. I honestly think the anime is not a must, but nevetheless good. As for season 2: Turns out it's only 12 episodes (again ) and is an original story... I have no idea if that means it will be a timeskip or something completely original.
So now that you have finished Tokyo Ghoul, can you tell me:
1. What was your overall impression of this manga?
2. Who is/are your favorite character(s) so far? Mine are Kaneki/Sasaki (I like all three Kanei versions), Touka <3, Banjou, and Hinami. We'll see whom I will add that list in the future from :RE.
3. How did you react when Sasaki was revealed to be Kaneki in Ch.7? Actually, whose reappearance were you excited about the most?
Oh, if you read the conversations AHK and I had, you might find some interesting things ^_^
