A reside-action film 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 3, 2018, with the series getting split into two seasons.

Tokyo Ghoul is set in an alternate reality where ghouls, cannibalistic 'monsters' who appear exactly like typical men and women but can only survive by consuming human flesh, reside amongst the human population in secret, hiding their correct nature in order to evade pursuit from the authorities. Which includes enhanced speed, senses, and regenerative ability, a normal ghoul is several occasions stronger than a typical human, has a skin resistant to ordinary piercing weapons and has at least one particular specific predatory organ named a kagune (Japanese: 赫子), which it can manifest and use as a weapon during combat. One more 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 produced 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 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 regular humans and lack a Kagune while possessing enhanced abilities, like enhanced speed and reaction speed, but shortened lifespans.To hunt down the ghouls, many government-sponsored organizations such as the CCG have been designed worldwide.
