A live-action film based on the manga was released in Japan on July 29, 2017. An anime adaptation primarily based on the sequel manga Tokyo Ghoul:re started airing on April three, 2018, with the series being split into two seasons.

Tokyo Ghoul is set in an alternate reality where ghouls, cannibalistic 'monsters' who appear exactly like regular individuals but can only survive by eating human flesh, reside among the human population in secret, hiding their correct nature in order to evade pursuit from the authorities. Including enhanced speed, senses, and regenerative capacity, a typical ghoul is several times stronger than a normal human, has a skin resistant to ordinary piercing weapons and has at least one specific predatory organ called a kagune (Japanese: 赫子), which it can manifest and use as a weapon during combat. Yet another distinctive trait of ghouls is that when they are excited or hungry, the color of their sclera in both eyes turns black and their irises red. This mutation is known as kakugan (赫眼, "red eye").

A half-ghoul can either be born naturally as a ghoul and a human's offspring, or artificially designed by transplanting some ghoul organs into a human. In each cases, a half-ghoul is generally a lot stronger than a pure-blood ghoul. In the case of a half-ghoul, only one of the eyes undergoes the "red eye" transformation.

There is also the case of half-humans, hybrids of ghouls and humans that can feed like typical humans and lack a Kagune whilst possessing enhanced abilities, like enhanced speed and reaction speed, but shortened lifespans.To hunt down the ghouls, a number of government-sponsored organizations such as the CCG had been created worldwide.
