About the series
From 2015 to 2021, Glénat published the French edition of Ajin: Semi-Humain, a 17-issue manga series that follows the discovery of a new, seemingly immortal human subspecies and the ethical and violent turmoil this causes in modern society. The story is defined by its tense, philosophical action and the coldly calculating protagonist, Kei Nagai, as he navigates a world that both fears and hunts him. Originally created by Gamon Sakurai, this series stands out for its grounded take on immortality, shifting from a personal survival thriller into a wider conflict between humans and the "Ajin." It matters as a key work in the 2010s seinen genre, blending horror and science fiction into a gripping, morally complex narrative.
