Is there a list of the books mentioned on Tokyo Ghoul? I don't know if I send the question yesterday. Well thanks. You guys are doing a great job. (´▽｀)

Takatsuki Sen’s Works

Takatsuki’s debut work is titled “Dear Kafka”. It was released when Takatsuki was still a teenager and is a bestseller with 500 000 copies.

“Monochrome Rainbow” is a short story collection. Among others, the collection contains the short stories Summer Diary, Resentments and Showers at Sunset (Sayoshigure).

The seventh work is titled “The Black Goat’s Egg”. It narrates the story of a son and his mother, a cold-hearted serial killer called “The Black Goat”.The protagonist is disgusted by his mother’s depravity, but has to realize that he is developing the same cruel impulses. The book combines brutal descriptions with a delicate portrayal of the main character’s mental state. After the organ transplant, Ken Kaneki likens himself to the story’s protagonist.

Her eighth work is called “The Hanged Man’s MacGuffin”, a collection of stories about the life of death sentenced prisoners. Kaneki reads it after the “Banjou incident”.

Books Mentioned in Tokyo Ghoul:Re

Franz Kafka’s - ”A Crossbreed”

Actual Books Reflecting Events in Tokyo Ghoul

Kanou’s role in changing Kaneki into a artificial ghoul and his role in Kaneki’s character development mirrors the relationship between Victor Frankenstein and Frankenstein’s Monster in Mary Shelley’s book “Frankenstein”

Franz Kafka’s”The Metamorphosis”, a popular story about a man who slowly transforms into an insect. In some ways, the story sounds similar as Ken goes through the same fate as Gregor Samsa, the main character of Kafka’s work.

The Ghoul Restaurant takes inspiration for tales such as The Restaurant of Many Orders by Kenji Miyazawa, with Kaneki even drawing a comparison between himself and the protagonists of that tale.
