Ghouls live among us, just like normal humans in every way – except for their craving for human flesh. Ken Kaneki is an ordinary student until a violent encounter transforms him into the first half-human, half-ghoul hybrid. Caught between two worlds, he must survive the turf wars of the ghouls, learn more about their society, and master his new powers.

Shy Ken Kaneki is thrilled to have a date with the beautiful Rize. However, it turns out that she is only interested in his body – to eat him, to be precise. When a morally questionable rescue transforms him into the first half-human, half-ghoul hybrid, Ken is drawn into the dark and violent world of ghouls that exists alongside our own.
