Ghouls live among us! They appear to be identical to people, but they are distinguished from us by one chilling trait: their lust for human flesh. Against the backdrop of Tokyo, a hunting ground for these creatures, college student Ken Kaneki survives a Ghoul attack, but at a cost that may make him regret his success: he has now become the first human-Ghoul hybrid. Trapped between two worlds, unable to forget his humanity or suppress his newfound hunger, Ken must now learn to understand his new self, master his powers, and... survive the turf wars and upheavals in Ghoul society that await him!
