Issei Sagawa was a small, shy, and studious man from Japan who had always been preoccupied with thoughts of eating another human being. After moving to Paris, France, to obtain a PhD at Sorbonne University, he felt more alone and out-of-place than ever as he struggled to suppress his darkest desires. He was never good at making friends until he met Dutch expatriate Renee Hartevelt, herself a doctoral student.
