Plot Summary:
In modern-day Tokyo, society lives in fear of Ghouls: mysterious creatures who look exactly like humans yet hunger insatiably for his or her flesh. None of this matters to Ken Kaneki, a bookish and ordinary young man, until a dark and violent encounter turns him into the primary ever Ghoul-human half breed. Trapped between two worlds, Ken must survive the violent conflicts of warring Ghoul factions, while attempting to find out more about Ghoul society, his newfound powers, and therefore the fine line between man and monster.
