The season aired from July to September 2014 on Tokyo MX, TVO, TVA, TVQ, BS Dlife and AT-X.
The series follows Ken Kaneki, a seventeen-year-old college student who survives an encounter with the binge-eating ghoul Rize Kamishiro, after having her organs transplanted into him.
As a result, Ken became a half-ghoul, half-human hybrid, who learns the ghoul lifestyle after working at the ghoul-run cafe "Anteiku."
Later he is captured by a dangerous ghoul, named Jason, due to the similarities he shares with Rize.
