Before the steel frame incident in the 20th Ward, there were reports of Ghouls lurking among the masses in Tokyo, carefully stalking their prey. TOKYO GHOUL: PAST covers the events that occurred before the opening act of TOKYO GHOUL – a time when Kaneki was still human, the Kirishimas still lived together, and Rize enjoyed her feasts.
“TOKYO GHOUL has become an international bestseller with its mysterious flesh eating Ghouls that live in the shadows of the everyday hustle and bustle of Tokyo,” says Nick Mamatas, Editor. “The latest novel serves as the perfect complement to the ongoing manga series and continues to explore the lives, backgrounds and dramas of the series’ key characters. We look forward to ardent fans discovering this new release!”
