We’ve made no secret of the fact that we at Barnes & Noble love bestselling manga Tokyo Ghoul (evidence here, here, and here), and there’s no question readers do too: the saga of a young man named Ken Kaneki whose encounter with a ghoul (intelligent creatures who appear human but can only survive by consuming our flesh) transforms him into a half-ghoul/half-human hybrid and an outsider in his own life, the series hasn’t left our monthly bestsellers list since volume one debuted (the 14th and final volume came out in August; spinoff Tokyo Ghoul: re begins this month).

We love Tokyo Ghoul so much, in fact, that we’re partnering with Viz Media to exclusively bring you the first Tokyo Ghoul: Monster Edition, an omnibus of the first three volumes of the 14-volume series. Of course, a simple bindup wouldn’t be that exciting, so here’s what we’ve done to make you really hungry for this one: in the tradition of other series that have received deluxe, oversized reprint editions (think Attack on Titan: Colossal Edition) the Tokyo Ghoul: Monster Edition will be printed in a larger trim size (9 inches by 6 inches, as opposed to the regular 8 inches by 5 inches) to allow the gory art to truly make a, er, splash.

The book will include all the color pages from the single volumes, as well as color inserts of the original cover art. The book will be available on November 21, just in time for your holiday feasting, and it makes a great gift for that special someone you’re convinced could do with a dose of flesh-eating, coffee-loving, complex and compelling new friends in her life.

Check out a large version of the awesome exclusive cover art below the official summary.

Ghouls live among us, the same as normal people in every way—except for their craving for human flesh. Ken Kaneki is an ordinary college student until a violent encounter turns him into the first half-human half-Ghoul hybrid. Trapped between two worlds, he must survive Ghoul turf wars, learn more about Ghoul society and master his new powers. This monstrously massive compendium of Tokyo Ghoul volumes 1-3 contains the early days of Ken Kaneki’s struggle to navigate two worlds, survive Ghoul turf wars, learn more about Ghoul society and master his new powers. This hefty tome—with extra-large archival pages showcasing Sui Ishida’s art and all the color art from the VIZ graphic novels—is perfect for megafans to gorge on.
