Gamon Sakurai's hit dark fantasy series now in a new omnibus format!
"Ajin is an action-packed, supernatural thriller - and there are some scenes of some seriously bad-ass action - while underneath, it tackles issues of society, discrimination, and of course, mortality." - Kotaku
High school student Kei Nagai is killed in a traffic accident, but immediately revives to learn that he may not be human at all. Instead, he may be a Demi-Human, a mysterious almost immortal being blessed with amazing super-human abilities. Scared, he runs away, and is aided in his escape from society by his friend Kai. Unfortunately for Kei, the manhunt is on and he will soon be caught within a conflict between mankind and other Demi-Humans as they prepare to fight for global supremacy.
