Synopsis of Tokyo Ghoul

Tokyo is plagued by a series of murders with no apparent explanation, committed by ghouls, beings that feed on human flesh and blend in among the population. Ken Kaneki is a college student who agrees to go out with a young woman he has met at a restaurant. Shortly after, he discovers who she really is and survives her attack thanks to an organ transplant. From then on, Ken is a hybrid of human and ghoul, and must hide his new nature in a city that does not tolerate those of his kind. The series, based on Sui Ishida’s manga, airs on Tokyo MX and stars Natsuki Hanae and Sora Amamiya in the main cast.
