| Tokyo Ghoul Original title: 東京喰種 トーキョーグール - Tōkyō Gūru Written by: Sui Ishida Illustrated by: Sui Ishida Published by: Shueisha Magazine: Weekly Young Jump Demographic: Seinen Genres: Action, Drama, Horror, Mystery, Psychological, Supernatural Chapters: 143 + Epilogue (completed) Volumes: 14 Original run: September 8, 2011 - September 18, 2014 Lurking within the shadows of Tokyo are frightening beings known as "ghouls", who satisfy their hunger by feeding on humans once night falls. An organization known as the Commission of Counter Ghoul (CCG) has been established in response to the constant attacks on citizens and as a means of purging these creatures. However, the problem lies in identifying ghouls as they disguise themselves as humans, living amongst the masses so that hunting prey will be easier. Ken Kaneki, an unsuspecting university freshman, finds himself caught in a world between humans and ghouls when his date turns out to be a ghoul after his flesh.
Barely surviving this encounter after being taken to a hospital, he discovers that he has turned into a half-ghoul as a result of the surgery he received. Unable to satisfy his intense craving for human meat through conventional means, Kaneki is taken in by friendly ghouls who run a coffee shop in order to help him with his transition. As he begins what he thinks will be a peaceful new life, little does he know that he is about to find himself at the center of a war between his new comrades and the forces of the CCG, and that his new existence has caught the attention of ghouls all over Tokyo.

| Tokyo Ghoul:re Original title: 東京喰種 トーキョーグール:re - Tōkyō Gūru:re Written by: Sui Ishida Illustrated by: Sui Ishida Published by: Shueisha Magazine: Weekly Young Jump Demographic: Seinen Genres: Action, Drama, Horror, Mystery, Psychological, Supernatural Chapters: 179 (completed) Volumes: 16 Original run: October 16, 2014 - July 5, 2018 (direct continuation to Tokyo Ghoul) Two years have passed since the CCG's raid on Anteiku. Although the atmosphere in Tokyo has changed drastically due to the increased influence of the CCG, ghouls continue to pose a problem as they have begun taking caution, especially the terrorist organization Aogiri Tree, who acknowledge the CCG's growing threat to their existence.
The creation of a special team, known as the Quinx Squad, may provide the CCG with the push they need to exterminate Tokyo's unwanted residents. As humans who have undergone surgery in order to make use of the special abilities of ghouls, they participate in operations to eradicate the dangerous creatures. The leader of this group, Haise Sasaki, is a half-ghoul, half-human who has been trained by famed special class investigator, Kishou Arima. However, there's more to this young man than meets the eye, as unknown memories claw at his mind, slowly reminding him of the person he used to be. Source: MyAnimeList |

| Tokyo Ghoul + Tokyo Ghoul √A Written by: Shuhei Morita Directed by: Chūji Mikasano Music by: Yutaka Yamada Studio: Pierrot Episodes: 24 (12 + 12) Original runs: Tokyo Ghoul: July 4 - September 19, 2014 Tokyo Ghoul √A: January 9 - March 27, 2015 The anime adaptation to the manga. While the first season, named simply Tokyo Ghoul, follows the events of the first volumes, the second season titled Tokyo Ghoul √A takes a different approach with a diverging storyline. In Tokyo Ghoul √A, monsters live among humans, looking like them while craving their flesh. That is the world Ken Kaneki has struggled to navigate ever since a first date went horrifically awry and transformed him into a half-human, half-ghoul. For months, he has fought against his new cannibalistic hunger and violent tendencies. But after being captured and tortured by a sadistic ghoul, Kaneki has accepted his darker half as his only means for survival.
His choice could not be more timely. Tokyo has become a battleground between humans and ghouls. The CCG, a government agency created to deal with the perceived ghoul threat, has ramped up its efforts to eradicate the inhuman monsters. In response, the terrorist ghoul organization, Aogiri Tree, has made destroying the CCG its priority. And throughout it all, the ghouls who frequent the coffee shop Anteiku merely want to live a peaceful life. But Kaneki, who worked at Anteiku while he attempted to reconcile his human and ghoul halves, makes a shocking decision: he joins Aogiri Tree. Even as his choice sends shockwaves through his newfound friends, many more questions are raised. What is Aogiri Tree's true purpose? Will the CCG triumph over the ghouls? And has Kaneki truly betrayed his friends and everything that Anteiku stands for? Source: MyAnimeList Jack OVA Written by: Sōichi Shimada
