Tokyo Ghoul

Tokyo Ghoul is possibly the most well-known horror manga on this list. This is due in part to the popularity of its anime adaptation, which should be avoided. Please read the manga right now. Tokyo Ghoul, unlike Junji Ito's works, is a long-running serialized horror manga set in an alternate Tokyo populated by hungry vampire-like ghouls that hunt humans. Tokyo Ghoul is a film that combines action, horror, and character drama. It delves into some decent moral and ethical themes, all led by a sympathetic, dynamic central character named Ken Kaneki.

Ken Kaneki is an introverted, bookish college student who attracts the attention of Rize, a hungry ghoul. Rize attempts to kill and eat Kaneki on what he believes is a date. Rize is crushed to death when he is gravely injured and on the verge of death, and her organs are used by a doctor to save Kaneki's life. Now, with the strength, powers, and curse of a ghoul, Kaneki lives on the edge of both worlds.
