Area D: Inō Ryōiki (Japanese: AREA D 異能領域, Hepburn: Eria Dī Inō Ryōiki) is a Japanese manga series written by Kyōichi Nanatsuki and illustrated by Yang Kyung-il. It was serialized in Shogakukan's Weekly Shōnen Sunday magazine from March 2012 to January 2016. Shogakukan collected the chapters in fourteen tankōbon volumes.
Altered are humans who possess supernatural abilities, each wielding a unique power. Feared and persecuted by society, they emerged twelve years ago after the supernova explosion of Antares. Following the Renge Incident—a devastating terrorist attack blamed on Altered—they are imprisoned on the secret penal colony Area D. Area D operates under harsh laws: three violations mean execution. While some inmates form factions and thrive, the island is a lawless battleground. Most Altered are forcibly detained, though a few, like Jin Kazaragi, enter willingly. Jin is accused of orchestrating the Renge Incident, which killed thousands, including loved ones of many Altered. His refusal to deny involvement fuels hatred against him. The conflict between humans and Altered grows ever more volatile.
