But little does he know what it feels like to be driven to insanity by your own hunger, and little does he know of what it He learns of the life as a ghoul and being the kind and righteous guy he is, he cannot ignore nor accept the fact that they kill humans to devour them. Ken Kaneki, your average shy and bookloving collegestudent gets plunged into the world of the creatures called ghouls - who feed on humans. This is my first review on MAL and I'm pretty excited that it's about my probably favorite finished manga of 2014! Overall an amazing manga, and the cliffhanger ending was actually the best way to end the first part. I would recommend not just reading the manga just once but at least several times to get what you may have missed.

There are no such things as 'black and white' in this manga.Įach important character has proper development and significance to the story, and none of them are there just for the sake of them being there, nor are they useless. However, the way in which it is executed is excellent.

An organization known as the Commission of Counter Ghoul (CCG) has been established in response to the constant attacks on citizens and as a means of purging these creatures. EditSynopsis Lurking within the shadows of Tokyo are frightening beings known as "ghouls," who satisfy their hunger by feeding on humans once night falls.
