Tokyo Ghoul (東京喰種-トーキョーグール-)
Flesh-eating ghouls lurk undetected throughout Tokyo, indistinguishable from the humans they prey upon. Reserved college student Ken Kaneki's quiet existence shatters when an attractive woman named Rize Kamishiro lures him into a deadly trap, leaving him mortally wounded and saved only by transplanting her ghoul organs into his body. Transformed into a human-ghoul hybrid, Kaneki struggles to preserve his humanity as he becomes embroiled in a vicious underground war between monsters and government hunters.
