Comic Natalie reported that Gamon Sakurai's Ajin - Demi-Human manga will get a live-action film next year.

In the original story, unknown new immortal lifeforms, later known as "Ajin" (demi-humans) appeared amongst humans. Just before summer vacation, a Japanese high school student named Kei Nagai was killed by a traffic accident on his way home. However, he was revived, and a price is placed on his head. Thus begins his new life on the run from all of mankind.
The film is directed by Katsuyuki Motohiro (Psycho-Pass) and will feature the action filming team of the live-action Rurouni Kenshin films working on the said project. Satoh, a fan of the source material said that he read the manga two years ago and wanted to make it into a film.
Ajin previously inspired a 3D CG anime films trilogy, two TV anime seasons, and three original anime DVDs by POLYGON PICTURES.
