About the book
Tokyo Ghoul is a dark fantasy manga set in an alternate Tokyo, where ghouls live secretly among the human population. They look like ordinary people but can survive only by eating human flesh, and they hide what they are to escape the authorities. Ken Kaneki, an eighteen-year-old university student, survives a deadly encounter with a ghoul and wakes in hospital to learn that surgery has made him a half-ghoul. Now needing human flesh himself, he is taken in by ghouls who run a coffee shop, and he struggles to fit into their world while concealing the truth from his human best friend.
