Summary
Initial incident: Ken Kaneki is attacked by a ghoul (Rize) and, after an organ transplant, becomes half-ghoul; he begins to learn the survival rules among the ghouls that frequent the Anteiku café. Domestic conflicts: Kaneki struggles with hunger, the need to hide his identity, and the CCG’s operations against ghouls; Anteiku serves as a community refuge. Aogiri and capture: Aogiri Tree attacks escalate tensions; Kaneki is captured and tortured by Yamori (Jason), an event that provokes his psychological and physical transformation. Confrontation with the CCG: Kaneki faces investigator Arima and, after the battle, suffers memory loss, living as Haise Sasaki within the CCG. Haise/Quinx period: Haise leads the Quinx team, hunts ghouls, and begins to recover fragments of his past life as the secret of the Washuu lineage and the CCG’s internal manipulations emerge. Revelations and rupture: Eto, Washuu, and other influential figures expose historical manipulations; Haise fully recovers his identity as Kaneki and rebuilds alliances with ghouls and dissident humans. Rise of Furuta: Furuta manipulates CCG politics, seizes power, and incites a large-scale conflict between humans and ghouls. Final war and defeat of Furuta: a large urban war occurs; Kaneki leads the resistance, Furuta is defeated, and the CCG's coercive control breaks down, with many casualties on both sides. Epilogue and hope: after the war, Kaneki and Touka live together and have a daughter, Ichika; the city begins a reconstruction process and shows signs of potential coexistence between humans and ghouls.
