Ajin: Demi-Human #16

Against a stark amber background, a massive, ink-black creature dominates the cover of Ajin: Demi-Human Vol. 16 — its skeletal, beak-like skull and powerful frame radiating something between menace and raw, otherworldly power. Gamon Sakurai's striking monochromatic design gives the figure a sculptural weight that feels genuinely unsettling in the best possible way. A fitting package for the penultimate stretch of one of manga's most gripping sci-fi thrillers, this 2021 Vertical release carries a cover price of $12.95.
