Description
High school student Kei Nagai is killed in a traffic accident, but immediately revives to learn that he may not be a human after all. Instead, he may be a Demi-Human, a mysterious and almost immortal being blessed with amazing super-human abilities. Scared, he runs away and is aided in his escape by his friend Kai. Unfortunately for Kei, the manhunt is on, and he will soon be caught up in a conflict between mankind and the other Demi-Humans.
Author Biography
Gamon Sakurai is a Japanese comic book artist from Tokyo. Born in 1986, Sakurai was selected for the Afternoon Magazine Four Seasons Award for New Comic Artists. Upon being selected for the award his short story was published and he was selected for editorial review by manga publishing giant Kodansha. Sakurai would make his publishing debut with indie publisher Issuisha in 2010, releasing a short story anthology. He would then work with Kodansha to work on his first feature length series AJIN- Demi-human in 2012.
ReviewsVertical has done a wonderful job of bringing this book stateside... If you want a dark story that offers a different look at immortality-perhaps one close to what it might be like in the real world-then Ajin: Demi-Human is just what youire looking for. -Bentobyte
