#7 Most Rated · Summer 2014#8 Most Popular#26 Most Rated · 2014
Tokyo's worst-kept secret is that something is hunting in its alleyways: ghouls, human-shaped predators who can only digest human flesh. College freshman Kaneki Ken isn't the kind of person who notices that sort of thing — he reads novels in the same café every week and harbors a quiet crush on a fellow regular named Rize. The date he finally agrees to with her ends in an alley, with her teeth at his throat. Kaneki survives only because of an emergency transplant that leaves him half-ghoul, neither species, hungry in ways he won't admit and welcome in neither world.

A soulless psychological drama
Tokyo Ghoul has an interesting premise and good production values, but lacks realism and empathetic characters.
Tokyo Ghoul has a lot of potential which it doesn't want to utilize.
