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

Tokyo Ghoul is set in an alternate reality where ghouls, cannibalistic 'monsters' who appear precisely like standard people but can only survive by consuming human flesh, live amongst the human population in secret, hiding their true nature in order to evade pursuit from the authorities. Like enhanced speed, senses, and regenerative capability, a standard ghoul is several times stronger than a typical human, has a skin resistant to ordinary piercing weapons and has at least 1 unique predatory organ named a kagune (Japanese: 赫子), which it can manifest and use as a weapon throughout combat. Yet another distinctive trait of ghouls is that when they are excited or hungry, the color of their sclera in each eyes turns black and their irises red. This mutation is identified as kakugan (赫眼, "red eye").

A half-ghoul can either be born naturally as a ghoul and a human's offspring, or artificially developed by transplanting some ghoul organs into a human. In both cases, a half-ghoul is generally much 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 normal humans and lack a Kagune even though possessing enhanced abilities, like increased speed and reaction speed, but shortened lifespans.To hunt down the ghouls, several government-sponsored organizations such as the CCG were created worldwide.
