Review Quotes:
Vertical has done a wonderful job of bringing this book stateside... If you want a dark story that offers a different look at immortality-perhaps one close to what it might be like in the real world-then Ajin: Demi-Human is just what youíre looking for. - Bentobyte

Publisher Marketing:
Sato's bitten. Samuel T. Owen is in the building. The Battle of Forge Safety, which began when demi-humans who aim to upend Japanese society waltzed into an ambush set by those who would deny them the pleasure, reaches its crescendo and conclusion in this volume.
