Ajin Demi-Human Complete Vol. 03

Ajin Demi-Human Complete Vol. 03

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.”

Glib high schooler Kei has discovered to his horror that death is just a repeatable event for him—and that humanity has no mercy for a demi-human. When more of their kind come out of the woodworks…their morals vary, to say the least.

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.

Series Overview:

For high schooler Kei and for at least forty-six others immortality comes as the nastiest surprise ever. Sadly for Kei, but refreshingly for the reader, such a feat doesn’t make him a superhero. In the eyes of both the general public and governments, he’s a rare specimen who needs to be hunted down and handed over to scientists to be experimented on for life. A demi-human who must die a thousand deaths for the benefit of humanity.
