For those who are not familiar with the "Ajin - Demi Human" manga series, it was created by Gamon Sakurai and launched in "good! Afternoon" magazine in 2012. Crunchyroll is publishing the chapters as they are published in Japan.
Vertical Inc. is publishing the print manga outside of Japan, and describes the series as follows:
"Say you get hit by a truck and die. You come back to life. Good or bad?
For high schooler Kei -and for at least forty-six others- immortality comes as the nastiest surprise ever. Sadly for Kei, but refreshingly for the reader, such a feat doesn't make him a superhero. In the eyes of both the general public and governments, he's a rare specimen who needs to be hunted down and handed over to scientists to be experimented on for life-a demi-human who must die a thousand deaths for the benefit of humanity."
