Amid this climate of fear, Ken Kaneki leads a quiet, unremarkable life as a college student, finding solace in books and the cozy atmosphere of his favorite café. His world feels small and safe—until the day he meets Rize Kamishiro, a fellow book lover whose charm immediately captures his attention. What begins as an innocent connection soon sets off a chain of events that will drag Ken Kaneki far beyond the boundaries of his ordinary existence, thrusting him into a dark and dangerous world he never knew existed.
