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 began 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 precisely like typical folks but can only survive by consuming human flesh, reside among the human population in secret, hiding their true nature in order to evade pursuit from the authorities. Which includes enhanced speed, senses, and regenerative capacity, a normal ghoul is numerous times stronger than a regular human, has a skin resistant to ordinary piercing weapons and has at least one unique predatory organ known as a kagune (Japanese: 赫子), which it can manifest and use as a weapon throughout combat. One more 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 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 produced by transplanting some ghoul organs into a human. In both situations, a half-ghoul is generally significantly stronger than a pure-blood ghoul. In the case of a half-ghoul, only a single 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 standard humans and lack a Kagune while possessing enhanced abilities, like improved speed and reaction speed, but shortened lifespans.To hunt down the ghouls, several government-sponsored organizations such as the CCG were produced worldwide.
