I've read it after finishing the original Tokyo Ghoul series, looking for another story to immerse myself in. It did remind me of Tokyo Ghoul, and as the mangahere tsukommis prove: we're not the only one. I do agree with you that the friend is like Hide: his hair and loyalty to his best friend despite the said friend being a... 'monster', as their society puts it.

While TG has regeneration, Ajin has immortality. Ajin's are most noted for not dying. Usually, an ajin can only be identified when they're supposed to 'die' but did not. While ghouls have kagunes, the Ajins have a shadow. The shadow usually look like mummies and are controlled by Ajins through their minds. It is usually the shadows that do the deed instead of the Ajins themselves. Similar to the CCG that exterminates ghouls, the Government in Ajin experiments on these immortals by trying several ways to kill them. Thus, if you are revealed to be an Ajin, if you are caught, you'll be living a torture hell on Earth. I kinda wonder why the Government is spending all these money on figuring out how to kill Ajins instead of trying to know how someone will become an Ajin. I haven't finished the series yet so that's probably why I don't know.

I also prefer TG than Ajin to be honest. The art, for example. High school students look kinda like middle school students there. And the MC was rather fast in becoming the 'human hater'.
