"If, for argument's sake, you were to write a story with me in the lead role, it would certainly be a tragedy."

—Ken Kaneki

Tokyo Ghoul is a 2011 seinen manga series about things who feed on humans.

Ken Kaneki is just a college student with a crush on a girl. He manages to have a date with her, only to discover she's an horrible human-eating monster that seduced him only to kill him. When she's about to kill him however, a piece of falling beam falls and kills her.

Wounded, Kaneki is saved through an organ transplant from his would-be killer. Soon, he begins to acquire the traits of the human-like monsters known as "ghouls".....

Written and Illustrated by Sui Ishida. Serialized on Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump.

Tropes used in Tokyo Ghoul include:

I'm a Humanitarian: The ghouls are said to be "monsters in human shape" and can breed with humans, what can mean they retain enough of their human nature to still be considered human. And they eat humans, so they're still cannibals.
