After God (Vol.4) - Sumi Eno

Humanity Under the Rule of Gods

After God (Vol. 4) continues Sumi Eno’s gripping dark fantasy manga series, set thirty years after divine beings reduced Tokyo to rubble. With cities turned into forbidden zones and humanity on the brink of extinction, researchers race to uncover the ultimate secret: how can a god be killed?

Anti-God researcher Sachiyuki Tokinaga remains relentless in his mission to protect what is left of humankind. His encounter with high school student Waka Kamikura may prove to be the turning point in the war between gods and humans.

The God Within

Waka has sworn to destroy the gods—making the revelation that a god resides inside her all the more horrifying. As she struggles to reconcile her hatred with this terrifying truth, her very existence threatens to upend everything the researchers believe they know about divine power.

Meanwhile, the snake god who abducted Yoriko and assumed the identity of her fiancé, Minami, begins to attract the attention of other gods. As their gaze turns toward the institute, the danger intensifies, and new, unspeakable horrors loom over the human researchers.
