Unable to discard his humanity but equally unable to suppress his Ghoul hunger, Ken finds salvation in the kindness of friendly Ghouls who teach him how to pass as human and eat flesh humanely.

NOTE: I just read volumes 1 and 2, so I'll hopefully have reviews up later today for both. AND I'm hoping to start watching the anime, if I can find a version that either has English subtitles or English dubbed.
