(L) Ajin

[LevelSeven]

so strange that there is no manga thread, and i did search in google several times :/

either way, summary:

Those who are resistant to death are called "Demi-humans".

That day, Kei Nagai, a High school student, should have died in a traffic accident, but he comes back to life shortly after. In other words, Kei is a demi-human. Since then, Kei's world changes dramatically. Terrified and without knowing what is going on, Kei is saved by his friend, Kai. Together, they flee deep into a deserted mountain. Later, a group of demi-humans who are hostile against humans contact Kai… Who is he fighting against? Who should he side with?

currently the story is at chatper 43 and i love the MC, he is now doing the same thing i would have done at the very beginning

[Windsgrace]

^ Yeah same. I thought this would be more widely known. I mean it even has an adaption. Both Kei and Sato are a real piece of work.

[LevelSeven]

^do you like the MC too?

his actions in the latest chapter made him into one of my favorite chars, he truly doesnt want to save humans for justice or such BS, he did all this for himself and once the person who offered his deal died he also went away,

his decision to simply go away is one of the best moves ever

[LG-MAX 2.o]

I think everyone likes Kei, right? Furthermore, Satou is a great villain.

[LevelSeven]

true, both are great characters,

PS: who gets reminded a little bit on mob psycho manga version if it comes to artstyle?

[LKK]

The Ajin manga is licensed for US publication by Kodansha US, so I added the Licensed prefix to the thread title.

[LevelSeven]

oh, ok, didnt think that it was popular enough in order to get licensed :O

[LevelSeven]

ch.44

lol, the mother of the MC is some really rational woman

and it seems like Kei isnt as "cold" as he seems, afterall he still goes after the kaito,
to be honest, if i was in Keis position i would go away as fast as possible, the only ones who will be alive at the end of this war will be the Ajins,

trying to fight them, for what exactly? for them to stop? and even if i manage to do that, how long does it takefore him to escape? 20? 50? 100 years?
and than? he will try to fight against me or he will start killing humans again,
there is no end in this, i would simply go away and let Ajins do whatever the hell they want to do :/

PS: kaito told us something interesting: he will keep doing this stuff until he dies!
so, either he dies through old age (if that is possible) or he will never die and humans can be ready for a esper bin laden who is also immortal

ch 46

oh wow, a LOT of demihumans in the US

but what is more is that this chapter was first sounding like one where we would get some cool info about demi humans and how they come to be but in the end it was totally useless,

asdie from hainvg 3 new demihumans we didnt get anything,

ok, there was something new: it seems like there are cases where humans die and heal but not wake up again, basically they are immortal corpses or so

[Kanon]

That was a very informative chapter. It looks like the US treats its Ajins, or at least some of them, with humanity. Rather different from their depiction in the anime.

[LG-MAX 2.o]

I wonder if the manga will be able to create a "fight" so incredible when the one that corresponded to the three final episodes of the anime in the second season. Bro, this is going to be difficult, that underground battle was very exciting.

[Wandering Soul]

It's surprising to learn that America treats it's more humanely than Japan does, considering how these things usually go in stories like this.

[Kanon]

We have to keep in mind America came across Ajins much earlier than Japan though, and they have much more of them. They probably did the same thing as Japan initially.

Ajin ova 3 Satou past trailer:

Looks good!

[LevelSeven]

ch47

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

satou is badass in any time of his life,
he f*cked up the mafia for 5 years with only 1 leg

and they also granted him his ajin life, OH YES!!

PS: we got also a explanation for why satou is as good in fighting as he is:
it is like gaming old pacman games!
you can repeat it however much you want and you can get better bit by bit

one can only love this crazy maniac

[LevelSeven]

ch 48

oh, great, the government didnt learn anything!!
all they do now is to create a even stricter law that will make demi-humans hate mortals even more -_-

kei came back to the crew too, not only the white haired dude and 3 ajins are on the team, and sato now wants to start the final battle

in any case i dont think that this series will end with satos defeat, USA is already involved into the whole affair too so i wouldnt mind seeing a quick "defeat" of sato who than gets freed by a organization that has most of the demi-humans on their side
i would really like to see a immortal organization telling mankind that they will now be the rulers of the world,
a literal world-war would be amazing

[LevelSeven]

ch49

the final seems to come closer...not sure if this is the final though :/

but we got a small flashback about the MC, right after he was born he didnt breath and died as a newborn child,

after that he came back and was a demi-human since then...

and this chapter also confirmed it: demi humans are only partially immortal!
they cant die via external means BUT according to some papers of scientists demi-humans die once they reach the end of their lifespan,

so sato, kei and the others will die once they get old enough...and it seems sato is in his fifties...guess the immortal era of the ajins wont happen

[Kanon]

We knew Ajins age since Sato's flashback so it's not really a surprise.

Kei has always been seen as special among Ajins and now we know why. He had been once since he was a baby.

[Kanon]

Chapter 52 came out a few weeks ago. Satou's plan absolute madness once again.

Spoiler:

He cut off his own head, put it on his IBM and disguised it as himself so it could create a diversion and enable him to pass himself off as a look-a-like of himself.

[LG-MAX 2.o]

Ajin live-action trailer.

Maybe this will become the best film adaptation ever made of a manga?

At least the action seems incredible
