Tokyo Ghoul 01 [Japanese Edition]

[Japanese Edition]

Tokyo Ghoul is a dark fantasy manga by Sui Ishida which was serialized in Weekly Young Jump. It’s been a huge hit since then for its unique style and dark story with a list of adaptations including light novels, anime, and video games.

The series is centered around “Ghouls,” individuals who can only survive by eating human flesh. Being ghouls grants them special abilities like heightened senses or regeneration. The protagonist, Ken Kaneki, is turned into a half-ghoul after a surgery and dragged into this deadly world.

Volume 1 includes chapters 1 through 9 and follows Kaneki’s date with Rize who turns out to be a ghoul. After barely surviving this encounter, he’s turned into a half-ghoul himself.
