Tokyo Ghoul

Sui Ishida’s Tokyo Ghoul (2014–2016), published by Kazé Manga, follows Ken Kaneki, a college student whose encounter with a ghoul—a creature that feeds on human flesh—transforms him into a half-ghoul, half-human hybrid. Over 14 issues, Ishida writes and illustrates a dark urban fantasy that explores identity, survival, and the blurred line between monster and man. This series became a defining work of the 2010s, launching a multimedia franchise and cementing Ishida’s reputation for visceral, emotionally charged storytelling.
