Tokyo Ghoul is a manga set in an alternate reality where ghouls, monstrous (or demonic) creatures who look like normal people but can only survive by eating human meat and blood, live in secret among the human population and hide their true nature to avoid persecution by the authorities of the human world. Ghouls have different superhuman powers, such as increased strength and regenerative abilities; a normal ghoul produces 4-7 times more kinetic energy in their muscles than a normal human being; they also have a several times larger number of RC cells, cells that flow like blood and can solidify instantly. Ken Kaneki (金木かねき研けん, Kaneki Ken) is the protagonist of the manga and anime series Tokyo Ghoul. Before the events of the series, Kaneki was an ordinary first-year student at Kamiya University, studying literature. However, a tragic accident at a construction site leads to his hospitalization, where he is saved from death by receiving organs from the deceased Rize Kamishiro. However, the surgery has unexpected and terrifying consequences for Kaneki: he becomes a hybrid of a human and a ghoul. 1000 - 7 = 993 - @cha9e0
