Tokyo Ghoul has so many memorable quotes, and in today’s article, I have handpicked 20 quotes which stood out to me the most.
The Tokyo Ghoul anime is based on the dark-fantasy manga series which is made by Sui Ishida. It follows a college student named Ken Kaneki who undergoes a transformation into a half-ghoul after he is nearly killed by his date.
