The Ajin manga from Gamon Sakurai brought out its first OVA back in May of this year and the second one landed in Japan today with the latest volume of the manga. Now, a third installment has been revealed that will be coming with the tenth volume of the manga that’s scheduled for an April 7th, 2017 debut according to the official site. The new OVA, which has a key visual released for it to the right, will focus on Satou’s past for fans to dig into.
The second season of the TV series is set to begin tomorrow as well, making for a very busy and great time for fans of this property.
The TV series itself was previously picked up by Netflix. The manga has been doing well in Japan since it launched in 2012 and it’s gotten some solid acclaim here since Vertical began publishing it. The timing works well for them too as the seventh volume of the manga comes out this week, bringing them largely up to date. Crunchyroll is handling the digital presentation of the manga series, making it available to a large number of fans.
Plot concept: Based on the manga by Gamon Sakurai, AJIN: Demi-Human, published by KODANSHA Ltd., is about a young high-school student who is hit by a truck and dies only to discover that he is, in fact, demi-human, an “Ajin.” What he finds are dozens of others who are also Ajins; all of whom are being hunted and trying to survive.
