Yes, Tokyo Ghoul can definitely be seen as an allegory for societal issues like alienation, identity crisis, and the struggle to fit in. Kaneki's dual existence highlights the challenges of living between two worlds, much like many people experience.

Honestly, it's more about intense action and gripping drama than being a deep allegory. But hey, art is subjective!

As a long-time fan, I totally see it as an allegory. It explores heavy themes like the nature of humanity, morality, and how society often fears what it doesn't understand. Give it a watch on Crunchyroll or Funimation to see for yourself!

Absolutely, it's an allegory. Kaneki's transformation and struggle against prejudice and fear can be seen as a metaphor for real-world issues like discrimination and acceptance.
