Eat it!

Why are you doing this?

There's no way I can eat a person's flesh!

I'm human!

I'm different from you monsters!

Well, if I'm a monster, what does that make you?

Please, tell me!

What should I do now?

Everything's been just terrible since that day.

Terrible, huh? I wish you could tell me.

Hey, how does cake taste, really?

It's so disgusting it makes me puke, so I don't know.

Humans eat that stuff as if it's delicious, don't they?

How was it, living a peaceful life?

Life without constant fear of ghouls or the CCG.

Everything's been terrible? Don't give me that.

After all, things have been terrible for me since the day I was born.

Hey, you! Tell me!

Don't find me. Don't look at me!

I'm... I'm human!

You're certainly no ghoul.

But you're not human either.

There's no place for a half-breed like you.

I... I...

If you want to be human so bad, why not try starving yourself for a while?

But I warn you...

...hunger is seriously hell for a ghoul.

Touka-chan, that's enough.

Boss.

It must have been hard on you. Come with us.

- Boss, why?! - Touka-chan.

Our goal is to help fellow ghouls in need.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Here you go.

Do you dislike coffee?

No, but...

Kaneki-kun, take a good look at this coffee.

What do you think?

It looks incredibly delicious.

It's ordinary coffee.

It's delicious! Absolutely delicious!

No matter what I ate, it tasted awful.

Ghouls have always been able to enjoy the taste of coffee,

just like humans.

But this alone won't be enough to sate your hunger, so...

What's that?

If you need more, come again. There's no need to hesitate.

Antique

Boss, why did you do that for him?

Touka-chan, do you remember the news about that organ transplant?

An iron girder fell down and crushed two students.

The doctor unilaterally decided

to transplant the dead girl's organs into the surviving boy.

But the one who died in that accident was...

Rize-chan.

Don't tell me...

That's right. He is that boy.

He had ghoul organs transplanted into him.

- Is that possible?! - I've never seen of its kind of case,

but his body may be growing more similar to ours.

Meat. Meat. Meat. Meat.

Meat. Meat. Meat.

Meat. Meat. Meat. Meat.

You're neither ghoul nor human.

There's no place for a half-breed like you.

What's wrong with being a half-breed?

Neither human, nor ghoul...

You're just you.

Enjoy being a half-breed.

There's delicious meat waiting for you.

It's so delicious, it'll make your mouth melt.

Once you've tried it, there's no going back.

Steak is nothing compared to it.

Now, go on! With gusto!

It's the finest rare meat.

Email Received From: Hide Subject: Dying Of Loneliness

I'm alone in Oriental History. It's awful...BTW, need my notes?

Hide.

Have you been to the cake shop in front of the station?

Their stuff is so delicious!

Dammit, Kaneki! How long are you going to skip for?

Consider how I feel! Rabbits can die of loneliness, you know?

Sorry, Hide.

And what's the eyepatch for? Making a fashion statement?

While you were gone, I stupidly joined the...

"I'm sorry," huh?

When was it? Something like this happened before.

Hey, Kaneki! How long are you planning to goof around for?

Do you have any idea how hard it is for me while you're taking time off?

Hey, are you listening? Kaneki!

Oh, sorry. What was that?

Anyway, I need to visit that foul-mouthed senpai to pick up some documents.

- Wanna tag along? - Yeah.

Kaneki, are you eating properly?

Your complexion's terrible.

If you don't eat like you should, your body won't last.

It's always been like this.

Hide's perceptive about the strangest things.

Because he understands what I'm feeling too well,

he deliberately plays dumb, out of consideration for me.

If I stopped being human,

would I no longer be able to walk alongside him?

I've been wanting to introduce him to you too, Kaneki.

- You mean Nishio-san? - Yeah, yeah.

You could say he's venomous, or that he has a foul mouth.

He's someone I'm a bit uneasy around.

No!

This is the place.

- Excuse me. - Hide, at least knock!

No!

Nagachika, can't you at least knock?

Nishio-san, sorry about that.

Having people violate my territory is the thing I hate most, you know?

Oh, this is my friend, Kaneki. I told you about him.

I see.

I'm a second-year pharmacology student, Nishio Nishiki.

It's a pleasure, Kaneki.

- You wanted last year's file, right? - Yeah, the data for the stalls.

Ah, where did I leave it?

- It might be at home. - Seriously?

Nagachika, let's just go and get it now.

- At your place, senpai? - Yeah.

Ah, well...

Sorry, Kaneki.

I'm going to drop by Nishio-san's place on the way back. Head home without me.

Hide...

Um, can I go too?

What's gotten into you?

Go ahead, it's fine.

It's not like I'm planning to let you inside.

Ah, that makes sense.

Before that, I've got to smooth things over with her.

What's gotten into you all of a sudden?

It's nothing.

- Nagachika. - Huh? What is it?

How much of what happened earlier did you see?

Huh? Not much...

Why do ghouls have to show up around me?

No, that's not it. They've been here all along.

I'm the one who wandered into their world.

- Wanna grab a bite? - Oh, sounds good.

Welcome! They're fresh from the oven!

Here.

I'm gonna puke.

- Here. - Thank a bunch!

Kaneki, aren't you part of a club?

No. I don't like being around lots of people.

Hm, so you're the opposite of Nagachika, huh?

Ghouls can eat?

This is exquisitely sweet.

The texture's nice and crispy, too.

Huh? Kaneki, aren't you having any?

Later.

Honestly, he's melded into human society, as if he were a normal university student.

That's kind of amazing.

I'm sure no one realizes he's a ghoul.

It would be a bother if anyone saw.

Hide!

I never imagined there was another ghoul on campus.

You stink.

You smell like a ghoul bitch!

You were planning to eat Nagachika, I'll bet.

That moment when you betray a moron who trusts you completely.

That look of anguish on their face.

Nothing stirs the appetite like the sight of a foolish human giving into despair!

Right, Kaneki?

I'm not like you.

Ohh?

Having a snot-nosed brat talk back like that really pisses me off.

By the way...

Your body's damn fragile. It felt like you're made of tofu.

I feel sick.

I can't believe humans eat that stuff.

It feels like eating horse shit.

Sorry, Kaneki. I got your meal dirty.

You've been with him forever, right? He's your best buddy, right?

When were you planning to eat him?

Hey, tell me, Kaneki.

What part were you going to eat first?

Well, well, well?

Hide's not food. Get your foot off of him.

Which foot?

Stop it!

Are you serious?

Attacking me with your bag? Are you a girl?

I just don't get you.

Humans are just food. They are to us as cows and pigs are to them.

Playing "friends" with people who are practically livestock...

Is that fun?

I'm not playing at anything!

Oh, yeah? But listen, I think Nagachika's dangerous.

He's no idiot.

You should know keeping a perceptive guy like him around you is dangerous.

This stupid thing.

You can't even control your eyes.

Come on, get up. Or should I kill Nagachika first?

Whoops. What was that? Come on, dodge!

Maybe I played around for a little too long.

If you'd used your Kagune, it'd have been over quick.

There's no way I can win this.

Hide...

Hide!

Oh, good. That's how it should be.

If you don't hurry, I'll crush his skull.

Is he doing it unconsciously?

Did you help me again?

So long, Nagachika.

I don't want this. I don't!

You're always reading books by yourself at school.

- Sorry. - That's not it.

I just moved here, so I don't have any friends.

So would you be my friend?

Uh, sure.

All right! I'm Nagachika Hideyoshi!

Just Hide's fine. Good to meet you.

Yeah. Nice to meet you, Hide.

Even back then, Hide was being considerate to me.

He called out to me because I didn't fit in at school.

I don't want this.

I don't want Hide to die!

I don't want it!

I won't... I won't allow it!

You little shit!

Stop! Stop it, you idiot!

I'm gonna die, die, die, die, die, die!

This is Rize's...

Damn it.

Hide...

He looks so tasty.

What a savoury smell. It stirs the appetite.

Hey, take a good look. Doesn't he look tasty?

Stop it! Hide's not food!

Do you really think that? Come on, take a good look.

Well? You understand, right?

Yeah. I do.

He looks delicious!

Stop! Stop it, please!

What are you saying?

You want him so badly, don't you?

You don't need to hold back. It's not wrong.

Come on, hurry.

You can do whatever you want.

What I want?

He's all yours.

All mine.

Go on.

It's true.

It's a rare chance for a feast.

I... I have to eat.

Hide is my...

...friend!

That's right! Because we're friends,

I have to eat him!

You're starting to look the part, half-breed!

Your hunger's blown all sane thought from your head.

Out of my way!

Even your friend's life means nothing to you now.

After you've torn him apart and devoured him, you'll regret it.

In a sea of blood and entrails.

That is a ghoul's hunger. The destiny we shoulder.

I'm sick of seeing it.

This one time, I'll show you some sympathy.

Go down easy!

Touka-chan carried you here.

What about Hide?

Come with me.

Hide.

I... I was constantly attacked by hunger pangs.

Especially at that moment.

I was starving so bad, I thought I'd die.

I couldn't tell what was happening to me.

And then, I turned on Hide.

But now I don't feel that way at all.

The blood on my lips...

Answer me honestly. What did you do to me while I was asleep?

There is only one way to sate a ghoul's hunger.

You should know that.

As things were, you would have killed your friend.

You must know that yourself.

I don't want to hurt my friend.

That's why...

I can't be with Hide any longer.

I can't enter the ghoul world, either.

I'm neither human nor ghoul.

I'm all alone.

There's no place for me!

You're wrong.

You are both ghoul and human.

You are the only one who can have a place in both worlds.

Join Antique.

I am sure it will lead to a path to protect the place you belong.

And I want you to get to know us better.

To see whether or not we are just beasts driven by hunger.

What do you say?

We can start by showing you how to make a good cup of coffee.

Um...

Do you think even I can manage it?

It's a nice rain.

Rain dulls their senses.

What a perfect day for work.

According to the report from the Ward 20 branch office,

three months ago, in this building,

there was a consumption incident believed to be the work of the glutton.

At the site, a man believed to be Jason was sighted.

The glutton and Jason, huh?

How are those two S-Rate ghouls connected?

Who knows? I can't imagine them being chummy and sharing their food, though.

Mato-san?

Mato-san?!

Amon-kun.

Look, I knew it.

If I were to name one thing this rain has against it,

it would be that I can't hear those scum screaming their death cries into it!
