Synopsis

Shy Ken Kaneki is ecstatic to meet the lovely Rize for a date. However, it appears that her primary interest is in consuming his body. Ken is dragged into the violent and dark world of Ghouls, which coexists with our own, after a morally dubious rescue turns him into the first half-human, half-Ghoul hybrid.
