After his shocking transformation, Ken Kaneki struggles to find his place in a world where he no longer fully belongs to humans nor ghouls. His inner conflict grows heavier as the hunger he feels cannot be satisfied with ordinary food. Just when he is on the verge of collapse, he finds unexpected help – the members of the café “Anteiku,” a safe haven where ghouls try to live in peace, hidden away from the public eye.

We meet new characters, most notably Touka Kirishima, a strong-willed girl who balances between her human life and her ghoul nature. Although she appears cold and distant, Touka slowly becomes Kaneki’s guide and support in this dark universe. Through her and the other members of Anteiku, Kaneki begins to realize that ghouls are not merely merciless monsters but beings who also struggle to find their place in a world that rejects them.

The second volume deepens the emotional layer of the story, immersing us in complex relationships and moral dilemmas that blur the line between human and inhuman. At the same time, the looming threat of organizations determined to exterminate ghouls grows stronger, laying the groundwork for the conflicts that will shape the entire series. Tokyo Ghoul here proves itself as a narrative that blends horror, action, and profound human drama.
