Tokyo Ghoul

Tokyo Ghoul is TV anime that began airing on January 9, 2015 and

that concluded on October 9. 2018

The story follows Ken Kaneki, a college student who barely

survives a deadly encounter with Rize Kamishiro, his date who
reveals herself as a ghoul.

Ghouls are creatures that look like normal people but can only
survive by eating human flesh.

He is taken to the hospital in critical condition. After recovering,

Kaneki discovers that he underwent a surgery that transformed him
into a half-ghoul.

This was accomplished because some of Rize’s organs were

transferred into his body, and now, like normal ghouls, he must
consume human flesh to survive.

The ghouls who manage the coffee shop «Anteiku» take him in and
teach him to deal with his new life as a half-ghoul.

Some of his daily struggles include fitting into the ghoul society, as
well as keeping his identity hidden from his human companions,
especially from his best friend Hideyoshi Nagachika.
