Synopsis
After researching numerous gruesome murder cases, experts confirm that terrifying beings known as ghouls are responsible for the atrocities. Indistinguishable from humans, these individuals have been lurking in the shadows for centuries, using their cunning intelligence to prey on mankind. Despite his friendly outward appearance, 19-year-old cafe employee Ken Kaneki is actually a ghoul. He spends his days alternating between working his morning shifts and satisfying his endless hunger. However, when a ghoul investigator starts closing in on him, Ken must take matters into his own hands if he wants to keep blending in with society. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
