Honestly? Shoutout to those of you who are completely fucking lost in life. Those who don’t know what they want to do with life. Those who are stuck in a certain part of life and can’t get out. Those who are reaching for dreams they feel are impossible to reach. Those who feel like they’re accomplishments are being overlooked. Those who feel like their enough just isn’t enough. It is. You can make it. You will make it. There is an opening at the end of the tunnel.

Just finished reading the last chapter... ugh I feel so depressed but at the same time I can feel a bit better knowing Ishida Sui will have time for himself... the time he deserves.

Ishida’s afterword part 1

Please feel to correct me if there are any mistakes. (source of the afterword)

Edit 1: Correction made about volume 7. Ishida was referring to how starting from OG vol. 7, he began pushing himself more and more. Apologies for the confusion.

Edit 2: Missed a couple lines, so I’ve added them in. Also corrected for grammar and fluidity.

I’ve already handed in the final manuscript, and I’m now writing this letter.

I would’ve written 4-komas at the end of the volume as usual, but I had a hard time writing “what comes afterwards” in such a format, so I thought that I would write an afterword instead.

Preface

Tokyo Ghoul began its serialization in September of 2011.

7 years have passed since then. My life has revolved around chasing the deadline, week after week.

I felt that if I took a break I wouldn’t be able to bring myself to draw again, so I refused to give myself a break.

Now that the series has ended, I’m finally living a life where I haven’t had a deadline looming over me for the first time in 7 years.

I wonder how I used to spend my time in the past.

If I want to be frank about how I currently feel, should I say it feels…liberating?

Tokyo Ghoul has been something that was intimately intertwined with my life, something that dominated my time and emotions, and something that changed my relationships with other people.

There was good that came with it, but oftentimes there was more bad than good.

Because of this, I felt like I was finally being released from a cage after being trapped in it for so long.

“But it’s just manga. There’s no reason for you to be pressured so much by it,” people may say with a laugh, but to me manga has always been by my side as a huge obstacle.

From the original volume 7 onwards, my stance regarding the manga changed.

I took on impossible amounts of work to try to push myself.

I cast away all sorts of things from my life, and poured all of my time into work.

I think it was because I was trying to get closer to Kaneki who’s been subjected to torture.

I’ve developed complications in my body.

I was scared at first. But after seeing all sorts of symptoms show up every few months, I resigned myself to the fact that this was the kind of body I had.

The most striking part to me was that I lost my sense of taste.

No matter what I ate, everything would taste the same. Even though the symptoms were different, I felt like I’d turned into a ghoul.

I was surprised by to what extent the human spirit is tied to the body.

There may be some readers who are disappointed by this, but I haven’t thought of drawing Tokyo Ghoul itself as fun. I hate working.

“Why am I drawing manga?”

These doubts grew ever more in my mind.

Being in the middle of a lot of stuff and suddenly discovering this sensation is majestic af.

As exciting as life can get, and how amazing it feels to get things done, its important to stop and notice the beauty that’s around you every now again. Stop and listen to the chirping of the birds. Feel the breeze against your face. Take moments every now and again.

My buddy used to know this guy in high school that would watch porn before every wrestling match he was in. He didn’t beat the meat. Didn’t even play with it. Sat fully clothed and watched violent ass hardcore for like half an hour.

He won almost every match.

Turns out being sexually aroused with no satisfaction makes your testosterone go into overdrive and turns you into a fuckin beast for like 15 minutes.

I do it now everytime I go to the gym. Never had better workouts.

lower-income people tend to be “hoarders” and richer people are able to do more “minimalist” living spaces. if u don’t have much, you will hold onto any little thing that comes across your way. you got a new tv, but you still keep the old tv because you know things can break. you keep extra boxes of macaroni and cheese lying around because there will be a week when you don’t have money for groceries. you hold onto your stacks of books and clothes for dear life. those are your assets. physical evidence of where your money’s gone. it’s hard to get rid of it. the bare wall is terrifying when you don’t have much.

A ti, que has sabido ser valiente cuando todo el mundo pensó que eras cobarde. A ti, que esperas con ansias no un 14 de febrero sino una vida al lado de alguien que también te quiera.A ti, que sin ser nada te has convertido en el todo de alguien.A ti, que regalas abrazos sin esperar nada a cambio.A ti, bonita, por alegrarnos la vida con tu existencia.A ti, preciosa, por ser la mejor creación en la tierra.A ti, guapa, por volvernos poetas y escritores sin serlo.

-Odio esto.

-¿El qué?

-Odio cómo solíamos hablar todos los días, y ahora con suerte recibo un mensaje tuyo a la semana. Odio ya no significar nada para ti, cuando un día era tu mundo. Eso es lo que odio.

Raman scattering, not ramen, although ramen is delicious and I always keep some in my office in case I forget to bring my lunch.
