A dark, paranoia-soaked thriller about an immortal hunted by both society and the state, grappling with what it means to be inhuman.

Kei Nagai dies in a car accident, but realises he is a type of immortal known as Ajin. Hunted by humans, Ajin is eventually found by the government and used as a subject in cruel experiments. He finds fellow demi-humans along the way as he escapes and goes on the run.
