Series: Ajin: Demi Human

One of the top-selling manga in Japan today, having sold more than 600,000 since March 2013, will see its English debut on comic book shelves in 2014. Demi-Human combines super-natural themes with sci-fi action for a very modern tale that should compete with most popular current manga and comic titles.

High school student Kei Nagai is struck dead in a grizzly traffic accident, but immediately revives to learn that he may not be like every other human. Instead, he may be a mysterious almost immortal being granted not only the powers of rejuvenation but the abilities to see super-natural beings. Scared, he runs away, and is aided in his escape from society by his friend. Unfortunately for Kei, the manhunt is on and he will soon be caught within a conflict between mankind and others like him as they prepare to fight a new war based on terror.
