Tokyo faces a chilling danger as “ghouls,” flesh-eating creatures that look just like humans, infiltrate the city. Ken Kaneki, a shy college student, immerses himself in his studies, deliberately ignoring the escalating threat. His quiet life takes a dramatic turn after he meets the charming Rize Kamishiro, who invites him on a date.
The night takes a dark twist when Kaneki walks Rize home, only to uncover her malevolent true nature. After a horrific encounter, he finds himself in a hospital, having survived thanks to a surgery that transplanted the organs of the now-deceased Rize into him.
Kaneki’s transformation into a half-ghoul begins, thrusting him into a terrifying new reality. Struggling to maintain his humanity, he navigates the growing violent conflict between these monstrous beings and the government forces determined to eliminate them.
