Ajin : Demi-Human by Gamon Sakurai

Seventeen years ago, an utterly immortal human was discovered on an African battlefield. Since then, more of these new and unknown life forms began to appear among mankind. These undying beings start to be known as "demi humans." One day, just before summer break, a Japanese boy leaving his high school is involved in a traffic accident that kills him on the spot. Then, he comes back to life. A huge bounty is placed on his capture. Now the boy's attempt to evade all of mankind begins.

We will be launching with Chapters 1 and 2, and then adding additional chapters as quickly as we can until we catch up to the current chapters, at which point we will begin simulpub. Don't forget to check out the print copies from our friends at Vertical, Inc. as well!

A Silent Voice - Koe no Katachi by Yoshitoki Oima

I wish we had never met. I wish we could meet once again.

A boy who can hear, Shoya Ishida, and a transfer student who can’t, Shoko Nishimiya. One fateful day, the two meet, and Shoya leads the class in bullying Shoko. But before long, the class shifts its target from Shoko to Shoya. Years later, Shoya feels strongly that he must see Shoko once again. 

The author Yoshitoki Oima’s comment: “People living in isolation. I wrote this story out of a desire to write about people living distant, isolated lives. Nothing would make me happier than if you all read my story.”

We will be launch with the COMPLETE CATALOG, with simulpub starting on April 8, at 4pm Pacific Time.
