The upcoming second season will be based on a new original story written by Ishida, rather than adapting the remainder of his original manga.

Ishida has reported on Twitter that the anime will be 12 episodes long.

Here is a synopsis of the series from MAL:

The suspense horror/dark fantasy story is set in Tokyo, which is haunted by mysterious “ghouls” who are devouring humans. People are gripped by the fear of these ghouls whose identities are masked in mystery. An ordinary college student named Kaneki encounters Rize, a girl who is an avid reader like him, at the café he frequents. Little does he realize that his fate will change overnight.
