Two years have elapsed since the CCG"s assault on Anteiku. While Tokyo"s atmosphere has shifted dramatically because of the CCG"s expanding sway, ghouls remain a concern as they have started to exercise caution, notably the extremist faction Aogiri Tree that recognizes the CCG"s mounting danger to its survival.
The formation of a specialized unit, called the Quinx Squad, could give the CCG"s the impetus needed to wipe out Tokyo"s unwanted inhabitants. These are humans who have undergone surgery to harness ghoul abilities, and they take part in missions aimed at eliminating the perilous beings. The squad"s commander, Haise Sasaki, is a half-ghoul, half-human trained by the renowned special‑class investigator Kishou Arima. Yet there is more to this young man than appears, as hidden recollections gnaw at his consciousness, gradually reminding him of the person he once was.
His fragmented past fuels a relentless drive to confront the shadows of his dual existence, and memory.
