Synopsis
About Tokyo Ghoul: Past
Before the steel frame incident in the 20th Ward, there were reports of Ghouls lurking among the masses in Tokyo, carefully stalking their prey. This novel 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.

Where to Pick Up From the Anime
Start at Chapter 1 (Volume 1)
Season 1 heavily compressed Chapters 1-66. Season 2 followed an anime-original path not found in manga.. Studio Pierrot severely fractured the narrative by inventing a non-canon storyline for Season 2.
