The series was collected into 14 anthologies and in Germany the first volume of the series was released in May 2014. The last volume came out on July 7, 2016. The sequel, called Tokyo Ghoul:re, will also gradually be available in German, Austrian and Swiss bookstores.

Storyline

In Tokyo there is a series of strange murders, which are attributed by the police to the so-called ghouls (also Ghoule) by certain clues at the crime scene. The two friends Kaneki and Hide, who know each other from college, come up with the idea that ghouls resemble humans and therefore they usually don’t stand out and can move undisturbed among the population.

So the manga is mostly about Ken Kaneki surviving a deadly encounter with Liz Kamishiro. You see, Liz is one of the unidentified Ghoula herself. A human-like creature, she hunts and eats humans to ensure her survival. Ken arrives at the hospital after the failed attack and is immediately operated on. In this organ transplant, Ken organs were transferred from Liz. As a result, he first finds that normal food gives him …you can’t taste it anymore. Slowly he realizes that by transplanting some organs he has become a half-being – half ghoul, half human. From this point on, Ken has no one and is eventually taken in by a ghoul group called Antik, who take care of him, especially in terms of obtaining human flesh.

A ghoul (literally translated roughly as eater-species) is a carnivorous and cannibalistic species that can only eat human flesh or the flesh of other ghouls. From the appearance they hardly differ from humans and are also about the same intelligence. However, their mentality is different. As for biology, ghouls could also reproduce with humans under certain circumstances. By the way, this offspring is one-eyed. Another option, as was done with Ken, is a cell storage transplant. That’s why Ken is one-eyed after his transformation into a half ghoul and since then wears a distinctive face mask with eye patch, which of course must not be missing from a cosplay outfit.
