I've seen the first 2 episodes of _Tokyo Ghoul:re_ and got confused when
Kaneki meets Touka. I dropped the manga a while ago though, so I might be
wrong thinking that they have not met this early.

Is the anime following the manga closely, or is it as far off as the _Root A_
was?

Is the anime adaptation of Tokyo Ghoul:re faithful to the manga?


**To be true, it's not as bad as Root A was.**

That abomination was literally the worst thing that could happen to Tokyo
Ghoul, in my opinion. But yeah, they are rushing things up a little, and
that's expected when you are talking about a series that's already has more
than 170 chapters as base material. Spoilers ahead..

This season of :re is only going to have 12 episodes, check [here on
MAL](https://myanimelist.net/anime/36511/Tokyo_Ghoul_re). So I think it has
been okay till now. I like the progress anyway. The main issue is, they are
supposed to come out with the _next 12 episodes_ by the end of this year, read
[here](https://www.inquisitr.com/4854408/tokyo-ghoul-re-season-2-release-date-
tokyo-ghoul-season-4-sui-ishida-manga/). If they screw that up, it will spoil
the whole of re, as Root A did with Tokyo Ghoul.

I just hope they don't screw it up anymore _/\\_

Having watched all the anime episodes so far, except maybe the one released
today, and all the Re manga chapters, they do match up very closely. There
might be some minor events missing, but it seems like everything is being
included.

Thus, of the 3 anime seasons of Tokyo Ghoul, it seems Re is the most faithful
to the manga. Even season 1 mixed up the order and changed some events, but I
have yet to see any such thing in Re.

The Tokyo Ghoul re anime only seemed to reorder events a little during the
first episode, which skipped a lot of exposition about how the world worked
and RC cells. Little details are skipped, and character backstory for the
Quinx Squad is limited compared to the manga.

As already mentioned above, [Tokyo Ghoul Season
4](https://www.monstersandcritics.com/anime/tokyo-ghoul-season-4-release-date-
confirmed-for-2018-tokyo-ghoul-re-season-2-anime-leaves-room-for-tokyo-ghoul-
season-5-based-on-mangas-ending/) is coming out soon. However, it's unknown if
it's just another 12 episodes. It could potentially be two cours and finish
off the manga.
