I'm starting to wonder what the deus ex machina is going to be because Sato is just too smart and seemingly unstoppable.

Trochę się już to robi nudne, że Sato to taki przekozak i każdy kto z nim walczy jest trochę głupi, przez to on wygrywa.

Sakurai had always surprised me so far but this time I outguessed him (and Sato’s plan). Not that it was that difficult, mind, but still. Which means a slight disappointment with this volume but the party’s just begun and I reckon the next one should bring more action and surprises. Ogura’s warning sounds like a mean Checkhov’s gun for instance.
Tosaki, cold-blooded and hardcore, that’s what surprised me.

شاید حتی نمرهی 4 هم مناسبش باشه. توییست جالبی داشت. توییست درستی داشت. همهی دیتای لازم رو داده بود و با این حال تونست غافلگیری ایجاد کنه. مشکل اینجاست (البته ذات اثره. شاید مشکل محسوب نشه؟) که خیلی اون بعد سرگرمی اثر روی منطقش چیره شده. خیلی خیلی زیاد. برای ایجاد اکشن ناب و موقعیتهای خفن، یه جاهایی مغز رو خاموش کرده. اتفاقات شانسی پشت سر هم رخ میدن و از صدتا باگ و حفره به راحتی رد میشه ولی خب، اگر هدفش رو صرفا سرگرم کردن مخاب بذاریم؛ فکر نکنم اونقدرها هم اشکالی بهش وارد باشه.

Este volumen me puso muy triste porque ya alcanzamos a Japón en México, y ahora quién sabe cuánto tenemos que esperar para leer lo que sigue de la historia, y la forma en la que terminó este volumen hace más tortuosa esta espera.
Las estrategias de Sato y Kei siempre me han parecido impresionantes y todo apunta a que este volumen es el primer paso en la última batalla entre estos dos genios tácticos. Me gustó mucho que Kei confesara sus dudas respecto a su propio plan pero que aún así estuviera dispuesto a hacer lo que fuera necesario.
Este volumen tiene momentos emotivos como la decisión de Tosaki, la historia del hombre que se parece a Sato, y el desenlace de la historia de Tanaka que se empezó a armar desde el volumen ante pasado.
Este volumen presenta una introducción muy fuerte y sólida de lo que parece ser será el último enfrentamiento entre ellos.

Mis propias acciones han enviado a muchísimas personas al infierno, pero nunca he tenido que mirar atrás y lamentar algo de ello.
Parecería que a Sato se le está viniendo la noche. Tanaka desde los tomos anteriores que se viene desprendiendo y, después de que lo haya vendido, estaría bueno que se pase de bando en lugar de simplemente desaparecer.
Tengo leves sospechas de que Okuyama va a seguir los pasos de Tanaka tarde o temprano.
Me pregunto también si en algún momento se le acabará la imaginación a Sakurai en cuanto a los ataques de Sato. Es tan impredecible el viejo que termina volviéndose predecible. Hasta ahora nunca sabés qué va a suceder y por eso terminás sospechando de todo.
La jugada del pobre viejito laburante con sueños frustrados fue bastante sucia, hasta me llegó al kokoro.

I don't know. It feels like that the story isn't moving forward beyond fight scenes and very short other things (like the set up for the meeting).
The way Sato managed to infiltrate the basis? Genius.
So, does that mean, that Kei didn't die with the lorry but actually at birth and is an Ajin since then?!?!
We'll see how it goes on.

The strategy which marauds on the military facilities Sato calls the last wave was carried out by this volume.
I think Sato is sooooooo crazy person. The fearful means are coming out one after another one after another... so it’s mede a feeling playing a game.

Tanaka cariño 😟

Ajin is one of the best manga series currently in production. It combines science fiction, horror, 80's action movies and thoughtful moral dilemmas all in one very entertaining package. This volume is a bit of a place setter. There is a lull in Sato's activities and our characters are not sure what he will do next.
True to form, Sato is a master chess player and has everyone, including some of his own men, uncertain of where he will be and what he will do. The ending has set the reader up for a stunning confrontation in the next volume. As a place setter volume it serves its purpose, but it is not one of the best volumes in the series. The art maintains its high standards and is always a treat to take in.
I am looking forward to reading volume 12 because the confrontation between Sato and the authorities should be staggering.

Sato prepares to break into a Japanese military base.
This story has very large pendulum swings. This volume is a lull: preparation, talking about what the characters are going to do, everyone getting into place. It's an excellent set up for the next book but not much by itself.

Chronique complète :
https://sunread26.wordpress.com/2025/...
Extrait :
La phase finale de la série semble lancée, Sato se prépare à réaliser son coup final. Tanaka semble lui avoir tourné le dos, mais c’est réciproque. Même s’il est difficile de cerner Sato, Tanaka lui est un livre ouvert. L’équipe de Nagai parviendra-t-elle à le stopper, lui et ses comparses ? Cela semble si peu réaliste, mais ils se battront tous jusqu’au bout pour tenter d’y parvenir. Il ne reste que six tomes après celui-ci, c’est encore bien long pour une intrigue qui semble s’approcher de la fin.
Rien que l’introduction de ce tome révèle déjà tellement d’informations ! Le fait que Nagai est survécu dès la naissance montrera qu’un Ajin nait ainsi. Si la situation a été expliquée à sa mère, il est également possible qu’elle savait déjà ce qu’il était, lorsque les informations se sont mises à parler des Ajins. Je crois également que c’est le seul instant où on l’a verra avec un sourire et un regard aussi doux. Par contre, je la plains un peu, car du coup, ses deux enfants ont eu des soucis de santés. Pour la frangine c’est même encore le cas, tandis que Nagai semble avoir échappé à la mort du nourrisson. Je ne sais plus trop quand ont été découverts les Ajins, ou du moins, que cette découverte soit révélée à la population, mais je pense qu’à la naissance de Nagai soit c’était un phénomène peu connu, soit pas du tout connu. Reste à savoir maintenant ce qui déclenche ce changement vers l’enfant, si c’est génétique ou non, avec un gêne récessif (doit être transmis par les deux parents, comme les yeux bleux, les cheveux roux, le groupe sanguin O, …) ou non. En tout cas, suivant l’évolution, il se pourrait alors que d’autres membres de sa famille soient comme lui. Autre information intéressante, il semblerait que les Ajins meurent de vieillesses comme tout le monde, Sato finira donc par mourir naturellement. Cette information explique pourquoi les Ajins ont été découverts qu’après des morts violentes. Difficile aussi, sans doute, de savoir si quelqu’un qui est mort de vieillesse était un Ajin ou non. À moins que leur mort soit spectaculaire ?
Les dernières informations données par le chercheur sont aussi assez inquiétantes, car généralement, ce genre de déroulement découle justement sur la situation décrite. Le seul choix de Nagai pour vaincre Sato serait-il donc de créer un flood ? Son utilisation semble assez hasardeuse et pourrait aussi causer beaucoup de victimes. Mais s’il arrive à canaliser sa pulsion pour que ce ne soit pas juste « tuer », mais « tuer Sato », peut-être qu’il aurait une chance. Ce tome est assez vide pour le reste, puisqu’il ne se passe pas grand-chose. Certaines choses étaient prévisibles, d’autres restent incertaines, enfin un événement en particulier était très attendu pour moi. La série paraît partir dans une direction bien dramatique, pourquoi présenter la naissance de Nagai maintenant ? Le retournement de situation concernant Tanaka était assez prévisible, pareillement pour le changement de plan et la division de l’équipe. Une pour comprendre et arrêter Sato, une autre pour libérer Tanaka afin qu’ils soient plus nombreux et le dernier, je ne sais pas ce qu’il va bien pouvoir faire tient. C’est le seul dont la suite semble imprévisible, j’imagine qu’il va continuer à espérer le déploiement de l’unité anti-ajin. Le reste de la bande de Sato ne s’est pas encore montrée et celui qui est handicapé ne sera déjà pas présent (logique, hormis devant un écran, il ne sert pas vraiment).

File 49: Tosaki pleads with Colonel Kouma to deploy the anti-Demi human forces but he replies that this unit is not as it seems (no actual powers). Separately, Matanabe returns to the hide out to help (after he was previously close to death from fighting Sato’s ghost at the Forge tower and thrown into a swimming pool). Tosaki, Izumi, Nakano and Kei leave the hide out to the place where Sato will be meeting the ministry negotiate. Sokabi and the minister are also planning to go to the meeting place.
File 50: Tanaka drives to the meeting place but decides to drive separately from Sato, Gen and Takahashi (Okuyama). Separately, those from the hide out arrive (Tosaki, Kei etc) arrive early. Ogura explains that a flood occurs when there is heightened emotion at the time of death and will take on the form of that emotion (i.e. violent if there is animosity). Everyone is confused when Tanaka arrives by himself and no Sato.
File 51: There is a military parade elsewhere where the PM is about to speak. ‘Someone’ is arrested on entry that looks like Sato and incarcerated. But when the PM is on his podium speaking, Sato is seen walking behind him. This makes Tanaka mad who is with the minister for the discussions waiting on Sato.
File 52: Sato shoots at the crowd and the PM and enters a gunfight. Army manage to get the PM in the back of a jeep but Sato is able to keep pace with it and jumps in the back. It turns out that Sato who is attacking the PM is actually his IBM with a head he cut off previously stuck on top. In parallel the real Sato is being released and put in a safe room as they think that it can’t be the real Sato given the PM was attacked by him.
File 52: Tanaka is taken by the minister after being shot by a tranquilliser. Separately, Tosaki is confronted by Sokabi, threatening to out him regarding Izumi and her past. Tosaki stabs him to death. Elsewhere, Izumi sets out to get Tanaka and put him on their side given he is now disillusioned by Sato.

You get a double-cross! And you get a double-cross! Betrayals for everyone!
I don't want to go into much more detail than that, because this really deserves to play out at its own pace. Some of the twists had been building up for awhile, while others were more shocking--or even surprisingly cathartic. Things have spiraled so far out of control by this point that Sato seems to be the only player left with a cohesive plan. And the fact that everyone else is scrambling to play catch-up is keeping the tension pretty damn high. Another excellent volume in an excellent series, and I can't wait to see how the final stage of Sato's scheme continues to play out.

Bello, bello, bello. Ho adorato Sato e Tosaki, il primo perché ormai si sa, è un genio, e il secondo perché non pensavo avrebbe fatto ciò che ha fatto e mi ha colpita in positivo — poi non nego che il personaggio con cui ha avuto il “confronto” mi stava bellamente sulle scatole, so…
Si sta entrando sempre più nel vivo della battaglia (l'ultima, quella definitiva) e quindi niente, io sono ancora qui che attendo il ricongiungimento tra Kei e Kai, mi sa che ho ricordi non canonici legati all'Anime perché pensavo si sarebbero ritrovati molto prima, altrimenti non si spiega 💔

Rencana Sato berjalan sangat baik, ia berhasil masuk ke markas militer dengan tipuan kecil yang efektif.
Kei mencium rencana ini tapi mungkin sudah sedikit terlambat. Shimomura memutuskan menyelamatkan Tanaka yang tertangkap bersama Nakano. Belum lagi Tosaki yang akhirnya bersiteru dengan Kosabe secara terang-terangan. Volume ini jelas sedang melangkah ke badai peperangan besar yang segera terjadi.

Sato acuerda un encuentro con el Ministro para lograr acuerdos sobre los derechos de los Ajin. Se muestra una escena de la verdadera primera vez en la que murió Kei Nagai.
Sokabe y Tosaki tienen un enfrentamiento agresivo y fatal.
El inicio de la tercera ola terrorista de Sato ocurre dentro de las instalaciones de las fuerzas armadas, en un evento que se realiza cada año en el que está presente el primer Ministro de Japón.

Hopefully, there is some kind of resolution with Tanaka. I think he was with Sato out of desperation for demi-human rights. He knew that Sato wasn't going to do the right thing, but he had deluded himself into believing he would.
Tosaki's wound from his fight with Sokabe better not be too serious. I've really come to like his character.

Kei is born dead, but his demi human qualities brought him to life. Wow!
As usual, Sato's plan to infiltrate military was awesome. He put a fake (an IBM with Sato's head) as a threat for Prime Minister while he let military to capture him.
How did Mr. Tosaki kill his partner Mr. Sokabe that fast? Is he a demi-human too?!

You can overextend the tension. At least that is what happened to me here. The plan, the ideas, once again really cool, but the talk at the end kind of brought the whole thing to a stand. Nevertheless, I want to read the next issue!

Tá começando a esquentar as coisas por aqui. Fiquei surpresa com as revelações da shimomura e do tosaki. Também fiquei surpresa com a traição do Satō, nunca imaginei que ele fosse fazer aquilo, mas fazer o que, né? Ele é um vilão mesmo. E pensar que faltam tão poucos volumes para acabar.

Things are finally heating up again. This series has not only established Sato as a ruthless villain, but also a brilliant strategist.
Also, the little backstory of Kei at the beginning? It was really good.
