A Special Theater Premiere to Sink Your Teeth Into

Ken Kaneki, a college student who tends to prefer books over people, typically tries to keep to himself, especially with the rise in ghoul-related crime. After all, in a world where flesh-eating, human-like monsters could be lurking around any corner, who wouldn’t be wary? But when he scores a date, Ken can’t pass up the opportunity to go out with the beautiful Rize Kamishiro. Unfortunately, his date turns out to be one of said ghouls, the evening turning into a fight for his life, and his resulting lifesaving operation turning Ken himself into a ghoul. Can Ken find his place within the strange new overlooked society or will his new life swallow him up?
