College freshman Ken Kaneki was attacked by a female Ghoul named Rize, which landed him and her in a freak accident crushed by steel beams.  In a procedure that ultimately saved his life, Kaneki had the organs of Rize transplanted into his body, turning him into a Ghoul-human half breed. Now Ken Kaneki is torn between his humanity and the unforgiving hunger and struggles of a Ghoul.  Kaneki must use his new found abilities to keep those he loves safe and bridge the gap between humans and Ghouls
