Tokyo Ghoul

Ken Kaneki is a quiet college student who goes on a date with the wrong person and wakes up surgically turned into a half ghoul, a creature that survives on human flesh. Tokyo Ghoul, serialized from 2011 to 2014 across 14 volumes, follows him caught between humans and the ghoul underclass, unable to belong to either. Sui Ishida draws a grimy, anxious Tokyo with scratchy, nervous linework that suits a story about a body you no longer control. The horror is real, but the core is identity: what you eat, what you fear, and who you become when survival makes you a monster.
