A reside-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 started airing on April three, 2018, with the series being split into two seasons.

Tokyo Ghoul is set in an alternate reality exactly where ghouls, cannibalistic 'monsters' who look exactly like regular individuals but can only survive by eating human flesh, live among the human population in secret, hiding their accurate nature in order to evade pursuit from the authorities. Such as enhanced speed, senses, and regenerative potential, a normal ghoul is a number of instances stronger than a typical human, has a skin resistant to ordinary piercing weapons and has at least one particular special predatory organ referred to as a kagune (Japanese: 赫子), which it can manifest and use as a weapon for the duration of 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 recognized 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 each cases, a half-ghoul is normally much stronger than a pure-blood ghoul. In the case of a half-ghoul, only one particular 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 while possessing enhanced abilities, like enhanced speed and reaction speed, but shortened lifespans.To hunt down the ghouls, numerous government-sponsored organizations such as the CCG were produced worldwide.
