Ishida Suis best-selling dark fantasy manga Tokyo Ghoul arrives in cinemas in 2017 in a live-action adaptation directed by Hagiwara Kentaro ( Anniversary). Tokyo Ghoul is set in an alternate present-day Tokyo in which super-powered ghouls that subsist on human flesh secretly live amongst humans. The gory action thriller stars Kubota Masataka ( Death Note TV drama) as a youth who turns into a half-ghoul after a near-death encounter & must live between two worlds.
Kaneki Ken (Kubota Masataka) is just a normal college student who is aware of ghoul attacks from the news, but doesnt think too much about them otherwise. He is excited to land a date with his crush Rize (Aoi Yu), except she turns out to be a ghoul who wants to make dinner of him. He barely manages to escape death when Rize gets crushed by a falling frame. To save Ken, the hospital transfers an organ from Rize to him, but the operation also turns him into a half-ghoul. At a loss over his newfound powers & appetite for flesh, he gets taken in by the proprietors of a ghoul cafe & gradually learns how to adapt & survive. All ghouls, including those that dont kill, are hunted by the Commission of Counter Ghoul. For Ken & his new friends, obsessed & ruthless CCG investigator Mado Kureo (Oizumi Yo) is even more terrifying than ghouls.
This edition comes with a booklet & a bonus DVD of special features, including making-of, event footage, deleted scenes & another pre-title.
