In Tokyo, ghouls are rampant—cannibalistic monsters hiding among humans to feed on them. Shy student Ken Kaneki is more interested in the pretty girl who shares his love for reading than in these sordid affairs, until the day he is attacked by one of these infamous creatures. Critically wounded, he survives thanks to a transplant from his attacker... Recovered from surgery, he slowly realizes that he is unable to eat like before and begins to feel a suspicious appetite for his peers. This is the beginning of a descent into hell for Kaneki, who has unwillingly become a half-human, half-ghoul hybrid. Tokyo Ghoul succeeded Gantz to become the flagship title of Shueisha's Young Jump magazine. Sui Ishida, who signs his first work here, instills unease through a meticulous description of the new sensations assaulting the hero and transcends them with explosive and magnificent action scenes. Going against recent zombie productions, Tokyo Ghoul presents an inverted vision of humanity's fight against its predators.
