Overview
Setting
Plot
The story follows Ken Kaneki, a college
student who barely survives a deadly
encounter with Rize Kamishiro, his date
who reveals herself as a ghoul. He is taken
to the hospital in critical condition. After
recovering, Kaneki discovers that he
underwent a surgery that transformed him
into a half-ghoul. This was accomplished
because some of Rize's organs were
transferred into his body, and now, like
normal ghouls, he must consume human
flesh to survive. The ghouls who manage
the coffee shop "Anteiku" take him in and
teach him to deal with his new life as a
half-ghoul. Some of his daily struggles
include fitting into the ghoul society, as
well as keeping his identity hidden from
his human companions.
