One bad date shouldn't end with your internal organs being replaced by a monster's, but Ken Kaneki just learned that lesson the hardest way possible. All the shy college student wanted was to share a love of literature with the beautiful Rize, only to find himself pinned under her predatory gaze and fighting for his life. After a freak accident leaves him surviving on the transplanted organs of the very woman who tried to eat him, Kaneki wakes up as a half-human, half-ghoul hybrid caught in a visceral nightmare. He can no longer stomach normal food, and his only source of nourishment is the one thing he swore to protect: human life. Thrown into the blood-stained 20th Ward, he is forced to find his place among flesh-eaters while desperately clinging to the fading embers of his own humanity. As the line between man and monster blurs, Kaneki faces a choice that will stain his soul forever: starve as a human or survive as a beast.
