“Tokyo Ghoul” follows the story of Ken Kaneki who narrowly survives an encounter with a flesh eating “ghoul” that was hunting him. He is then transformed into a half-ghoul and must now come to terms with the new world that he must inhabit. In this alternate reality, ghouls mingle with modern society and look no different than regular people, except that they only have the appetite for human flesh. Alfred Bayle/JB
