どんでん返しの連続です

It's a series of plot twists

This review contains spoilers. 絵は最初受け付けなかったんですけどどんどん読み進めていくうちにリアルな表情が逆に良くなってきて緊迫感がすごい伝わります。グロい描写はありますが最初だけでそれ以降は慣れました笑話の構成が矛盾なくてとてもどハマりして大人買いしました！

This review contains spoilers. The picture wasn't accepted at first, but as I read more and more, the realistic expression actually improved, and the sense of urgency was conveyed so much. There are gross depictions, but it was just the beginning, and I got used to it after that. The structure of the joke wasn't contradictory, so I was so addicted to it that I bought it as an adult!

全体に漂う緊迫感

A sense of urgency that drifts throughout

息苦しさを感じるほどの緊迫感を感じる作品。人間か亜人かどうか、戦闘に次ぐ戦闘がそうさせているせいかもしれない。下手なギャグなんて入り込む余地もない冷徹な展開に魅力がある。

This work has a sense of urgency that makes you feel short of breath. Whether it's human or subhuman, it may be because battles that come second only to battle make them do that. There is appeal in the cold-hearted development, where there is no room for bad gags to get in.

人生で一番好きな漫画

My favorite comic in my life

人生で一番好きな漫画が亜人です！話のスピード感といい、多くを語らず語らなすぎず丁度いい、謎は残るけどモヤモヤしない、全てがベストマッチな作品です。桜井画門先生が1人で走り抜けてくれたこと嬉しく思います。どうかこれからも語り続かれる漫画でありますように

My favorite manga in my life is Ajin! It's a perfect match for the speed of the story, the speed of the story, just right without saying too much, and the mystery remains but not fuzzy. I'm happy that Sakurai Kamon sensei ran through alone. I hope it's a comic that will continue to be talked about

かっこいい

coolest

名前のないキャラまでカッコよくて痺れます。絵が上手すぎる。演出が上手すぎる。人生において購入するしかない作品

Even characters without names are so cool that it's paralyzing. He's too good at painting. He's too good at directing. Works you have no choice but to buy in your life

私の中で暫定一位の悪役佐藤

Sato, the provisional number one villain among me

This review contains spoilers. 能ある鷹は爪を隠す系が好きで、無条件でキュンキュンしちゃうんです。ラスボス佐藤のあの普通のおっさん感。このおっさんが?この顔で?!という胸きゅんがあります。そんな私の個人的好みだけではなく、この作品は、悪役佐藤の存在感が本当に凄い。悪役の表現って本当に難しいんだろうと思います。あんまり分かりやすく悪々しく描いていても、説得力がないと滑稽です。あいつはこんなに強いんだ。悪いんだと大風呂敷を広げても、期待の割には…てなこともしばしば。それに対してこの作品では、強い・賢い・イカれてる。純粋な悪役3条件を、高いレベルで、漫画で納得させてくれた。いわゆる「勝てる気がしない」恐怖を、作者の知能と画力で存分に味あわせてもらいました。なので悪役や戦いに関しては大満足です。ただ、大きな問題点が・・亜人とは何なのか。この一番重要な命題を、博士のタバコから来る過去話、亡き息子の思い出で済ませてしまった。言いたい事も博士に仕事放棄させた狙いも分かるんだけど、梯子を外された感は否めません。亜人は物質。人の想いは非物質。せめて無から有が生じ得る説を入れて欲しかった。上記の点で本当は星4なのだけど、佐藤が凄すぎて、今のところ、私の中で暫定一位の悪役。彼の存在がマイナス評価を凌駕しているので星5にさせていただきました。全体的に面白かったです。

This review contains spoilers. Talented hawks like those that hide their claws, and they cringe unconditionally. That normal old man feeling from Boss Sato. this old man? with this face?! I have a sense of emptiness. Not only is it my personal preference, but the presence of villain Sato is really amazing in this work. I think it's really difficult to describe a villain. Even if you draw it so easily and harshly, it's ridiculous if you don't have persuasive power. He's this strong. Even if you spread a large furoshiki that's bad, in spite of expectations... things often happen. On the other hand, in this work, they are strong, smart, and cool. The comic convinced me of the 3 conditions of pure villains at a high level. I was able to fully enjoy the so-called fear of “not feeling like winning” with the author's intelligence and drawing power. So I'm very satisfied with the villains and battles. However, the big question is... what is Ajin? I've finished this most important proposition with past stories that come from the doctor's cigarettes and memories of my late son. I understand what you wanted to say and the purpose of getting the doctor to give up his job, but I can't deny the feeling that the ladder was taken off. Subhumans are substances. Human feelings are immaterial. I wanted them to at least include a theory that something can arise from nothing. It's actually 4 stars in terms of the above, but Sato is so amazing, and so far, I'm the provisional number one villain. His presence surpassed the negative reviews, so I gave him 5 stars. Overall, it was interesting.

2巻から別物

Another thing from volume 2

クソおもろかった。最初は微妙、2巻から加速していくおもしろさ。止まらない。絵も最初と最後で全然違う。

That was damn interesting. It's subtle at first, and it's interesting that it accelerates from volume 2. It won't stop. The picture is also completely different at the beginning and end.

めっちゃ面白い

It's so interesting

This review contains spoilers. 設定がすごく面白いです　佐藤の言い分もわかる　一番すごいなと思ったのは再生の時に壁とかがなくなるとか一番大きい部分で再生するとかそういう些細なディテールがよく考えられててすごい

This review contains spoilers. The setting is really interesting. I also understand what Sato said what I thought was the most amazing thing was that trivial details such as losing a wall or the like during playback or playing in the biggest part were so well thought out that it was amazing

大好きな漫画です

It's my favorite comic

何周も読みました！！表現力、展開、全て好きです。世の中にたくさん漫画はあるけれど、心に残る漫画は本当に数少ないです。亜人を作り出してくださりありがとうございます。

I've read it for weeks! I like everything about the expressiveness and development. There are a lot of comics in the world, but there are really few comics that stick in my mind. Thank you for creating Ajin.

最高！

the best!

This review contains spoilers. 最近アニメを観たのですが、あれ？漫画もこんな話だったっけ？と気になって再読。アニメ版は大事な戦闘シーンで中野や下村さんがリセットしないのでイライラしてしまいました…。とはいえアニメも面白かったですが、やっぱり本家の漫画の方が奥行きがあって最高です！とても行き当たりばったりで連載していたとは思えません。カイト君が蘇生してよかった！！

This review contains spoilers. I watched an anime recently, huh? were comics like this too? I was curious and reread it. I was frustrated because the anime version was an important battle scene and Nakano and Shimomura-san didn't reset... Nonetheless, the anime was interesting too, but after all, the original manga has more depth and is the best! It was so haphazard that I don't think it was serialized. I'm glad Kaito came back to life!!

史上最高の漫画

The best comics of all time

This review contains spoilers. 友達に紹介されて読んだのですがめちゃくちゃ面白かったです。圧倒的作画と作品の緊張感や話の展開の早さが魅力的です。個人的には佐藤という亜人が好きです。自分の魂が消える事を知っていながらテレポートするあたりがぶっ飛んでいて好きになりました。死なないという一見自由な能力ですが様々な制約がありそれを逆手にとって行動している亜人を見ていてどんどん作品に引き込まれていきます。とにかく読んで間違いない作品となっています。また一気見に向いています。

This review contains spoilers. I was introduced to it by a friend, and it was really interesting. The overwhelming drawing, the tension in the work, and the speed at which the story unfolds are fascinating. Personally, I like Ajin Sato. Even though I knew my soul would disappear, I fell in love with it because the teleporting scene just flew by. It's a deceptively free ability to not die, but there are various restrictions, and I watch Ajin acting against it, and I am drawn more and more into the work. Anyway, it's definitely a work you should read. Also, it's great for binge-watching.

絵に迫力があって、シリアスな展開とマッチしています。読んて損のない、本当に面白い作品です。子供頃は不死身に憧れてたけど、実際はそんなにいいことばかりじゃないかも…。

The picture is powerful and matches the serious development. It's a really interesting work that won't hurt you to read it. When I was a kid, I longed for immortality, but in reality, it might not be all that good...

独特な世界観

A unique view of the world

This review contains spoilers. ストーリーがまず面白いので引き込まれるし、佐藤何者なん？だし、謎が謎で謎を呼びどんどん読み進めちゃう。戦い方もすごいんだよな。これアニメもあって、アニメから入ったけどそっちもオススメ。世界観が作り込まれてるのすごいし割と残酷笑。結構緊迫感あっていいと思った。

This review contains spoilers. First of all, the story is interesting, so I'm drawn in, and who is Sato? Also, the mystery is a mystery, and I read on and on. the way they fight is amazing, isn't it? There's also an anime here, and I started with the anime, but I recommend that one too. it's amazing that the view of the world has been built in and it's pretty cruel lol. I thought it would be nice to feel quite a sense of urgency.

定期的に読みたくなるタイプの漫画

The type of comic you'll want to read on a regular basis

一度死なないと自分が亜人だと分からない、分かったら隔離からのモルモット生活…スゴい設定思い付いたよな作者様…あんなん一回死んだだけでも気狂うのに実験台にされて正気なの一周回って正気じゃない…

Once you die, you won't know you're an Ajin, and once you know, life as a guinea pig from quarantine... you've come up with an amazing setting, the author... even if you just die once, you'll go crazy, but it's not insane to go around a sane lap...
