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.

Did the forces of government win the day and lay to rest the undying anarchist? The game plan, as ingenious as it was ad hoc, seemed workable, and to have worked. Unless...it failed to take into account a defining quality of the target, his very raison d'Etre. It's not as if they've never noticed this in him before.

Reviews for AJIN: DEMI-HUMAN VOL. 15: Demi-Human

This is a bit of a surprising series for me, I've been pleasantly surprised by it. Maybe no pleasantly...horrified...no less than 3 times has this title made my hair stand on end... To be surprised by manga is what I'm always looking for when I read, even if the surprise is something as horrible as this. -Manga Hoarder
