Tokyo Ghoul remains a licensing and merchandising property rather than a production one. Its most recent confirmed activity is an Ichiban Kuji lottery set to launch January 30, 2027, with MASTERLISE figures of Ken Kaneki and Touka Kirishima.
The three stories about Tokyo Ghoul do not describe a new anime or manga production. They trace a property that is still being licensed and merchandised while its author works elsewhere. The most concrete upcoming item is a lottery: BANDAI SPIRITS opened the Ichiban Kuji Club page for Ichiban Kuji Tokyo Ghoul, with a launch date of January 30, 2027. The A prize is a MASTERLISE figure of Ken Kaneki, the B prize is a MASTERLISE figure of Touka Kirishima, and both the Last One prize and the Double Chance Campaign prize are the Owl figure in the MASTERLISE EXTRA line.
The series is also moving into Indian-language audio. Crunchyroll is rolling Tokyo Ghoul out regionally in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu dubs, starting with season one on July 22, then season two on August 12 and season three on September 2. That rollout sits inside a wider Crunchyroll expansion of its Indian-language library that covers both catalog titles and summer 2026 premieres.
The remaining story is about the author, not the work. In an interview published on Shueisha's Manga Million app, Sui Ishida described working overnight five to six days a week, twelve to thirteen hours a day, then meeting staff at ten in the morning for storyboarding sessions of thirty minutes to an hour. He said he does not recall which days he worked, and that he asked a friend and his older sister for help with the manga's ending. The account concerns Tokyo Ghoul's production period; his current manga, Choujin X, runs on an irregular release schedule rather than a weekly one.
