content
For 17 years, immortals have repeatedly appeared in the world, called Ajin, persecuted by mankind and captured for experiments. The high school student Kei Nagai is run over in an accident, but does not die, but discovers that he too is an Ajin. From then on, he is hunted by many people - especially the government, which is conducting experiments on Ajin.
