Ajin: Demi-Human
(
Japanese
:
?人
,
Hepburn
:
Ajin
)
is a Japanese
manga
series written and illustrated by
Gamon Sakurai
[
ja
]
. It was serialized in
Kodansha
's
seinen
manga
magazine
Good! Afternoon
from July 2012 to February 2021 and was collected into seventeen volumes. In North America, it has been licensed for English release by
Vertical
.
It was adapted into a
3D
anime
film trilogy by
Polygon Pictures
between November 2015 and September 2016. An anime television series adaptation, also by Polygon Pictures, aired between January and April 2016, with a second season aired from October to December 2016. A live-action film adaptation was released in September 2017.
Plot
[
edit
]
Ajin
presents the story of a student named Nagai Kei, who discovers he is an "Ajin" when he is fatally wounded in a traffic accident. In the world of
Ajin
, a small number of humans (termed "Ajin") possess immortality and extreme
regenerative
abilities that trigger upon death, allowing them to completely recover from any mortal injury in a matter of seconds. Ajin can also create "black ghosts", highly dangerous combat-oriented entities that are only visible to other Ajin. "Black ghosts" are resistant to physical injury, exhibit extraordinary physical strength, and have sharp teeth and claws. Different "black ghosts" have varying degrees of intelligence: most are completely reliant on their Ajin for directions, and others, such as Kei's, are more independent and likely to engage in self-initiated actions.
Consequently, Ajin are considered dangerous and inhuman by the public, and most are captured by governments. Governments claim to protect Ajin, but in reality, most use them as subjects for cruel and inhumane experiments, as their abilities to completely recover from fatal wounds provides an unlimited source of organs and bodies in dangerous tests (such as live-fire weapons testing). As a result, Ajin that have escaped from government custody (such as Satou, the main antagonist) are bent on exacting revenge on governments. Kei, however, wants no part in the emerging Ajin-human conflict, but forms an agreement with Japanese governmental agents to fight Satou in exchange for his freedom from government experimentation.
Characters
[

Kei's Group
[
edit
]
- Kei Nagai
(
永井 圭
,
Nagai Kei
)
- Voiced by:
Mamoru Miyano
[3]
(Japanese);
Johnny Yong Bosch
(English)
- Played by:
Takeru Satoh
- Kei first discovers that he is an Ajin after being killed in a traffic accident. To his peers, he appears to be a normal and carefree student, but in reality he is emotionally detached from other people and often willing to endanger the lives of other people in order for him to accomplish his own goals. He differs from most Ajin as he has the ability to create an abnormally large amount of IBM (Invisible Black Matter, which is key to an Ajin's regeneration and ability to create "black ghosts"), allowing Kei to manifest more "black ghosts" than his Ajin peers. According to Ikuya, he is implied to have manifested his Ajin-related abilities at a very young age.
- Kaito
(
海斗
)
- Voiced by:
Yoshimasa Hosoya
[3]
(Japanese);
Bryce Papenbrook
(English)
- A close friend of Kei who helps him to escape from the police. He was later sent to prison for assisting in Kei's escape and later befriends Takeshi, another Ajin, allowing Kaito to escape imprisonment.
- K? Nakano
(
中野 攻
,
Nakano Kou
)
- Voiced by:
Jun Fukuyama
(Japanese); Griffin Burns (English)
- K? is an Ajin and a partner of Kei with the intention to stop Sat?, as Sat?'s plans for the creation of an Ajin-led government will lead to the loss of many human lives. Unlike Kei, who is indifferent and cold to others, K? values friendship and is willing to put the safety of others above his own. He is also physically fitter than Kei, but lacks Kei's intellectual capabilities, often relying on Kei for planning in combat operations, with him acting as the "muscle" of the operation. K? has the rapid regenerative abilities common to Ajin, but lacks the ability to manifest his own "black ghost".

- Izumi is a stoic and taciturn Ajin working for Y? Tosaki at the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Izumi's birth name is Y?ko Tainaka. As Y?ko, she first discovered her Ajin abilities in her teenage years, when she first died after defending herself from a rape attempt of an abusive stepfather. Y?ko would run away from home, where she is eventually recruited by Y? as a bodyguard under a special contract. The contract allowed Y?ko to adopt the alias of "Izumi Shinomura", such that "Y?ko Tainaka" is
legally deceased
and that "Izumi Shimomura" is a separate identity. She affectionately refers to her "black ghost" as "Kuro".

hat, Sat? is a calm and collected individual who is well known within the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare as the most dangerous Ajin. Despite his appearance as a genial old man who enjoys video gaming, he is in reality a sinister, calculating tactician with combat experience as a former special-operations soldier in the USMC.
[4]
Sat? originally claims that he wishes to protest against the mistreatment of Ajins worldwide, but it is later revealed that he uses this claim as an excuse to gather an army of Ajin under his command to create an immortal army to rule Japan and simply for the sake of violence and destruction. He is frequently described as a "player" in the latter half of the anime, as he is prone to using strategies adapted from video games to carry out assassinations of famous politicians in order to force negotiations with the government for allowing rights of Ajins. He enjoys the use of violence against anybody (human or Ajin) who attempts to disrupt his plans and is especially irked by provocation.

After he and Kai reconcile he promises to let Kai use his IBM to escape prison if, for whatever reason, he wishes to escape in order to assist Kei.
