Ghouls who run a coffee shop called "Anteiku" (あんていく) take him in and teach him to deal with his new life as a half-ghoul. This was accomplished because some of Rize's organs were transferred into his body, and now, like normal ghouls, he must consume human flesh to survive. After recovering, Kaneki discovers that he underwent a surgery that transformed him into a half-ghoul. He is taken to the hospital in critical condition. The story follows Ken Kaneki, a student who barely survives a deadly encounter with Rize Kamishiro, his date who reveals herself as a ghoul and tries to eat him.

Naturally born half-ghouls can also eat like normal humans or full ghouls. There is also the case of half-humans, hybrids of ghouls and humans that can feed like normal humans and lack a Kagune while possessing enhanced abilities, like increased speed and reaction speed, but shortened lifespans.

Natural born half-ghouls are very rare, and creating half-ghouls artificially initially has a low success rate. In the case of a half-ghoul, only one of the eyes undergoes the "red eye" transformation. In both cases, a half-ghoul is usually much stronger than a pure-blood ghoul. This mutation is known as kakugan ( 赫眼, "red eye").Ī half-ghoul can either be born naturally as a ghoul and a human's offspring, or artificially created by transplanting some ghoul organs into a human. Another distinctive trait of ghouls is that when they are excited or hungry, the color of their sclera in both eyes turns black and their irises red.
