It was planned to be a short story from the very beginning. Sakurai Gamon didn't even want to do it at first, if I remember it right.

Pretty bad manga overall. Nothing is particularly memorable and the characters are whatever. The action being between people with guns and animals also wastes the artist's talent at drawing gunfights.

It's an action flick like those old mediocre movies you randomly catch on TV, which is another thing the author is fond of aside from video games. But yeah, I agree, it was a waste. The whole thing was made because his old editor or editor-in-chief started bugging him with "c'mon man, let's do another manga, I know you can do it." Guess he could, but didn't actually have it in him. I think the guy just wants to play games and nothing else anymore.

Gamon... Also, how did they miss a herd of giant walkers straight ahead of them?

>>281266961
Very cute chief.
Still, pretty much nothing, yeah. Can he retire off Ajin's lifetime sales? What's he even doing now?

Did any scanlation group pick it? Saw the first chapters got a decent translation, but then everyone dropped it and only some shitty translation remained.

Considering that it switched to bimonthly release schedule and had pretty short chapters for a while, I imagine it was something like that. Laziness, writer's block, health issues, call it whatever you want.

No way they can feed themselves enough. Cool when combined with their predation method tho.

drawing pictures whenever you want is very taxing and leaves you susceptible to the japanese cold

Pretty sure he can, he probably made at least a couple million usd from ajin, if not more.

I know he tweeted about it being a short one volume series. But this is new to me. Did he say that on his twitter?

Yeah I was waiting for the big twist reveal the whole time. I mean it's called The Pool. I was waiting for some SCP-354 type shit. But it was just... soldiers trying to evacuate civilians who are hunted by the local fauna.

You know what I'm fine with that and wish more series would do the same. Get in tell a banger story then get out while the getting is good
