Tokyo ghoul is a thriller fantasy manga written and illustrated by Sui Ishida. This story is set in Tokyo, Japan in a world where ghouls exists, though it is implied this is a world wide thing. In this world ghouls are people who look like humans but are not; because to survive they need to eat human flesh. In this world RC cells (Red Children cells) are in every person except ghouls have a higher concentration of them in their body. This allows them to have superhuman abilities and out of their back, comes out an extra limb called a Kagune. The kagune is essential to a ghoul’s life and is essentially a hard-as-steel appendage that can resemble a tail, tentacles, wings or basically whatever the mind allows. In this world, ghouls live among humans, hiding their identities and being afraid of being haunted by the CCG (Commission of Counter Ghoul). In a sense, it is a corrupt society that is fueled by fear of the two groups, ghouls and humans and that gives birth to endless amounts of tragedy within the story.	This specific series follows the story of Ken Kaneki, a human college freshman that lives in Tokyo, he starts the story as this shy introverted bookworm who hangs with what appears to be his only friend Hideyoshi Nagachika (Hide for short). Kaneki Finally ends up landing a date with a girl he has had a crush on, he managed it because they apparently had the same taste in books, all the while, there have been frequent ghoul attacks around the area they live. After a lovely date, Kaneki walks home his date, Rize Kamishiro, to his dismay it turns out Rize was simply luring him to a place where she could eat him, revealing she had been the ghoul who was responsible for the ghoul attacks, people nicknamed her the “Binge Eater.” After steel beams fall on Rize out of the blue, Kaneki has her organs transplanted into him because of his mortal injuries. This turned him into a half ghoul or a one-eyed ghoul; as a ghoul’s eyes can turn red on the iris turn red and the sclera turn black, this is called a kakugan (Red eye). From then on, Kaneki has to learn to live with being a half ghoul, only being able to eat human flesh while refusing to in order to keep his humanity. He meets this “family” of ghouls which is really just the workers of a cafe called Anteiku. They are a group of ghoul pacifist who feed on suicide victims rather than hunt, it is also notable that coffee is the only thing ghouls can drink other than water. Eventually, Kaneki gets in lots of predicaments where his humanity and morals are tested, usually his inability to take action is his major flaw as he likes to be the neutral party. This all changes when he is kidnap by this massive ghoul group called Aogiri tree for his possible ties in with Rize, whom they were looking for, not realizing she is dead and now Kaneki has her Kagune. After they determine Kaneki is useless to them they give him out to a member of their group, Yamori (Alias Jason). Yamori happens to be an extreme sadist, tortures Kaneki for 12 days. He used methods such as clipping Kaneki’s fingers and toes off and wait until they regrow to cut them again, putting a centipede in his ear and making him choose who Jason would kill, a mother or her child. While all this is happening, Kaneki talks with Rize inside his head, that Rize being only a projection of his mind in order to cope with stress. Kaneki had lived under the mindset of being “somebody who knows pain instead of somebody who hurts. (vol. 7, ch. 61).” However, after intense tortured and the Rize in his head he realizes that in order to survive in this world he cannot keep being a neutral party. In order words he decides that “To live is to...Feed on others (ch. 63).” Also after this arduous process, his hair had turned from black to white out of the stress. Eventually, he breaks off his restraints and engages in a fight with Yamori, in which Kaneki ends up eating Yamori’s Kagune leaving him near dead. Book 7 ends promptly after that. 	I think the pay off in this first half of the series is in the 7th volume, as the author uses the first 6 to world build and establish his main character and how he works with the world. He’s constantly tested and he manages to stay true to his morals. It is like the author purposely builds a flawed yet morally correct character, a pure human per say, only break him down in the 7th book and do a complete 180 with the character’s everything which in turn, calls back to one of the first meaningful quotes back in volume 1 which is a quote the author used to represent Kaneki’s character, “The bird struggles out of egg. The egg is the world. Whoever would be born...must first destroy a world (ch. 8).” It represents Kaneki’s forever changing nature and life. The targeted audience is for those people who like tragic stories and soap opera as this book is very gloomy and dramatic but it is beautifully drawn and very character driven, as most things are. The core of the series is the main character, without it the story would not be as investing as it is. People with an affinity for the deconstruction of characters would enjoy this book even if it takes a while to get there.

In 2014, Maia Kobabe, who uses e/em/eir pronouns, thought that a comic of reading statistics would be the last autobiographical comic e would ever write. At the time, it was the only thing e felt comfortable with strangers knowing about em. Now, Gender Queer is here. Maia's intensely cathartic autobiography charts eir journey of self-identity, which includes the mortification and confusion of adolescent crushes, grappling with how to come out to family and society, bonding with friends over erotic gay fanfiction, and facing the trauma of pap smears. Started as a way to explain to eir family what it means to be nonbinary and asexual, Gender Queer is more than a personal story: it is a useful and touching guide on gender identity--what it means and how to think about it--for advocates, friends, and humans everywhere.

Johnson's emotionally frank style of writing will appeal directly to young adults.

The day after they moved in, Coraline went exploring....In Coraline's family's new flat are twenty-one windows and fourteen doors. Thirteen of the doors open and close. The fourteenth is locked, and on the other side is only a brick wall, until the day Coraline unlocks the door to find a passage to another flat in another house just like her own. Only it's different. At first, things seem marvelous in the other flat. The food is better. The toy box is filled with wind-up angels that flutter around the bedroom, books whose pictures writhe and crawl and shimmer, little dinosaur skulls that chatter their teeth. But there's another mother, and another father, and they want Coraline to stay with them and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go. Other children are trapped there as well, lost souls behind the mirrors. Coraline is their only hope of rescue. She will have to fight with all her wits and all the tools she can find if she is to save the lost children, her ordinary life, and herself.

Fran Bow is a graphic adventure game, with psychological horror elements, developed and produced by Killmonday Games, a Swedish indie game studio. Released in 2015 for PC and in 2016 for mobile.Similar to other adventure games, the gameplay involves seeking various objects in the game world in order to combine and use them to solve puzzles, and speaking with non-player characters to learn more about the world and how to progress. In one scene, the player controls the protagonist's cat. Additionally, a small portion of Fran Bow consists of minigames situated within the broader narrative that present more complex logical challenges.Set in 1944, the game tells the story of Fran, a ten-year-old girl struggling with mental illness after witnessing the murder of her parents. She is then found alone in the woods and admitted to Oswald Asylum, separating Fran from her black cat and only friend, Mr. Midnight. Under the care of psychiatrist Dr. Marcel Deern, Fran is administered pills. The pills cause vivid hallucinations of a phantasmagoric parallel universe, filling Oswald Asylum with smears of blood, mysterious messages, grisly torture, human subject research in psychiatry and neurology, and otherworldly shadow beings. Driven to escape her imprisonment, find her cat, and return home, Fran escapes and flees into a nocturnal forest in which she encounters ghostly nature spirits. Fran then finds herself and Mr. Midnight trapped together in a haunted house that belongs to conjoined twins named Clara and Mia Buhalmet. Fran eventually escapes and attempts to cross a bridge of roots, which frays and collapses. She awakens to discover that she has been transformed into a tree in a brighter world called Ithersta, a land where vegetables, insects, pine cones, and roots live in harmony. There she meets Palontras who helps her return home. After departing Ithersta, Fran meets Itward, a giant skeletal creature. She discovers that it was Itward who had helped her in her search for Mr. Midnight. Itward tries to take Fran back home in his flying machine.
