And the winner of the Tokyo Ghoul Trio manga giveaway is… Briell Saunders!
As the winner, Briell will receive the first three volumes of Sui Ishida’s manga series Tokyo Ghoul as published in English by Viz Media. For this giveaway, I asked that participants tell me a little about their favorite half-human characters from manga. Kaneki Ken, the protagonist of Tokyo Ghoul, was mentioned a fair number of times, but he’s not the only well-liked half-human.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the giveaway and took the time to share your favorites with me. I hope to see you all again!
Oh my gosh… I was a huge Cirque du Freak fan when I was in my teens and I did NOT realize it had been made into a manga, much less licensed and published in English! Oh my gosh, thank you, I will have to check that out ASAP.
Ooh reading the response comments is super interesting. Now I’m wishing I had said something, but instead I’ll reflect upon these half-human characters. I really do love Kaneki a lot, though. And then Allen, of course, and Yukio from Blue Exorcist is just someone I want to protect. All good answers :D
Congratulations to the winner Briell! And thanks for hosting giveaways :)
One of the things I really enjoy about running the giveaways is learning about manga that I didn’t know about before! (I also just really like making lists and the giveaways give me a legitimate excuse to do that.) And you weren’t the only one who didn’t know about the Cirque du Freak manga; I’m glad that the giveaway helped to spread the word! :)
