What is "Tokyo Ghoul:re"?


There were events that happened in _Tokyo Ghoul:re_ but didn't happen in the
original show, like:

Is _Tokyo Ghoul:re_ different from the original _Tokyo Ghoul_?




_Tokyo Ghoul:re_ is the sequel manga to _Tokyo Ghoul_. The [_Tokyo
Ghoul_](http://tokyoghoul.wikia.com/wiki/Tokyo_Ghoul_\(manga\)) manga ended in
September of 2014 and was adapted into the first 2 seasons of the anime,
though the second season, _Root A_ , greatly diverged from the manga with
significant differences but still attempted to have the same major events as
the manga.

You can read about possibilities of why they did so in this question (be wary
of spoilers in all the links here): [Why did Tokyo Ghoul √A completely deviate
from the manga?](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/18391) and for more
details on the differences, you can read [my

differences-between-the-tokyo-ghoul-anime-and-manga) or [this post on
reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/TokyoGhoul/comments/2tm0y1/differences_between_anime_and_manga/)
asking about the same thing.

Both the anime and the manga ended with spoiler:

> significantly heavier on the dead side with multiple holes in his head)

_Tokyo Ghoul:re_ picked up 2 years after the events that ended _Tokyo Ghoul_.
It's about Hiase Sasaki, a ghoul investigator and leader of the Q's squad,
currently low ranking investigators that underwent a very special surgery. It
follows Hiase, his squad, and his superior/supervisor Akira Mado (daughter of
the investigator that was Amon's superior and partner investigator in the
beginning of the series), and shortly after all that begins expanding on stuff
from the original manga, as well as filling in the 2-year gap.
