Ajina nie można zabić. Jakich obrażeń by nie doznał, zawsze wraca do swojej ludzkiej postaci, ale człowiekiem nie jest. Pierwsze takie istoty zostały odkryte siedemnaście lat temu i od tamtego czasu stanowią przedmiot zarówno fascynacji, jak i strachu. Poszczególne kraje prześcigają się w badaniach i, eksperymentując na schwytanych przez siebie okazach, pragną odkryć tajemnicę nieśmiertelności. Tylko czy te istoty na pewno są niebezpieczne? Czy zasługują na tak okrutne traktowanie? Co tak naprawdę potrafią i po czyjej stoją stronie? Mało kto się nad tym zastanawia. Jednym z tych nielicznych jest Kei Nagai, który z pewnym sceptycyzmem słucha nauczyciela, gdy ten opowiada o Ajinach na lekcji. Gdy chłopak wraca ze szkoły, myśli pochłaniają go tak bardzo, że wpada pod rozpędzoną ciężarówkę. Ku zdumieniu gapiów przed chwilą jeszcze zmasakrowany Kei w kilka chwil wraca do zdrowia. Jest Ajinem. Przerażony nastolatek szybko zdaje sobie sprawę, że nikomu nie może ufać. Natychmiast traci wszelkie prawa i staje się zwierzyną, na którą zamierzają polować absolutnie wszyscy.
WHAT KILLS YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER For Kei, and at least forty-six others, immortality comes as the nastiest surprise ever. He’s a rare specimen who needs to be experimented on for life—a demi-human who must die a thousand deaths for the benefit of humanity… The breathless nightmare trip Ajin: Demi-Human, finally available in omnibus format. A thriller that just keeps on getting better and deeper. “Sakurai is great at both bullet-spraying, neck-snapping action and subtle facial expressions that say more than the dialogue that accompanies them. Ajin started out as something worth keeping up with, but now it’s up there with some of my favorite current regulars.” —Otaku USA “Sakurai’s page layouts are very easy to read, and the smooth translation and fast-paced story make this a very quick read, although it is also one you’re likely to want to reread in order not to miss any details.” —Anime News Network
