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.
Under duress, the Ministry of Welfare, which has been abusing demi-humans, is ready to negotiate with them. Yet Sato can’t resist giving the screw another turn.
For his ultimate “wave” Sato has taken on Iruma Base, the hardest of hard targets, while the Prime Minister is onsite. The unexpected grit of Japanís Self-Defense Forces delights him to no end. Having fallen out with his right-hand man Tanaka, however, may come back to bite the jolly ex-marine.
The shooting of Kaito has triggered a Flood in the normally emotionless Nagai, releasing a massive number of IBMs. Not wanting to miss out on the fun, Sato has matched his pace, and Iruma Base is overrun with countless black ghosts. Dr. Ogura, the worldís leading IBM researcher, makes his way toward the heart of the chaos, even as the story barrels toward a moment of truth regarding the origin and very nature of Demi-Humans.
The final confrontation is here. But even if Kei Nagai can catch up to the fleeing Sato…can he stop him?! And if he succeeds in defeating Sato, will there be a place for demi-humans in a world transformed by the revelation of their existence? It all comes down to this epic showdown, in the final volume of what has emerged as one of the great action manga of the last decade. Ajin raises questions of what motivates us, what matters to us, and what it means to be human.
