Hey OP, I know your post is months old but if you haven't read the manga than you should. I actually NEVER read manga before TG, than after seeing the anime I was curious about what happens and so I had read my first manga.

I was blown away by how amazing it was. It made the anime seem like garbage imo and if you haven't read the manga, than certain thing will be missed. Ishidas work is genius, every statement in TG has a meaning. What I mean is that there are statements and certain panels that don't seem like much in TG, but when you discover the major plot points in :RE than you end up realizing it was in your face the whole time.

Examples SPOILERS FOR TOKYO GHOUL:RE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-In TG, when Yoshimara is at his last stand vs the CCG, he glares at Yoshitoki Washuu to which the latter responds, "No need to glare, it's just work." We know know that V, the organization that he was working for, was the Washuu.

-When Yomo kicks off Noros upper body and than regenerates, Uta says that his regeneration is insane, than says, "Could this be the kagune of a monster?". To which Yomo responds with, "Maybe"

-When Tatara and Noro ambush Seidou and Amon, Tatara states, "The King is going to pass." This was right after Arima defeated Kaneki and before he fought Eto. In TG:RE, we learn that Arima is the OEK and when Tatara dies, he asks himself, "King, did you acquire the thing you were looking for?" and it shows Tatara bowing down to Arima who happens to be carrying Kanekis lifeless body with him through the rain.

Afterwards Arima shows up to fight Eto. It is strongly implied that Arima let Eto and the Aogiri executives through the Containment Net. Yoshitoki stated it was impossible for Owl(Eto) to breach the Containment Net undetected, and even stated, "Route V14 or the Containment Net, which did it get through?" We know know that's plausible since Eto and Arima were working together secretly.

Watching the anime than reading :RE will only make the experience less enjoyable. Like I said earlier, I never read manga before TG and ha no interest in doing so. But with this series it has opened my eyes. The original manga is a masterpiece, and while I did enjoy the anime at the time of viewing, it has absolutely nothing on the Manga.
