[Serialized in Young King Ours]
Published in Indonesia by Elex Media
A lethal virus ravages the planet, turning humans into monsters called Kanshu. Only FLAG, an organization created to trace the source and eliminate the contagion, knows about the Kanshu; FLAG members, possessed of special powers, are the only ones capable of exterminating the fiends.
Ordinary student Amami Riku receives a message from a dead relative Amane, which drops him smack in the middle of the FLAG–Kanshu conflict and leads him to a child born from a cocoon who would change his life...
Unique premise and loads of action and mystery!
goes Elex's thumbs up of Moriyama Daisuke's supernatural seinen series World Embryo. The ongoing manga featuring Character Growth, Liar, Monsters, Special Abilities, Angst, Babies, Romantic Subplot, Teamwork, Antihero/Heroine, Unique Infected Protagonist
(Baka-Updates users' categories for this title) serializes in Young King Ours and its ninth tankou streeted in Japan 7 March 2012.
Before the advent of World Embryo, you prolly already knew the name "Moriyama Daisuke" from the manga (or anime) Chrno Crusade, originally published by Kadokawa Shoten Dragon Comics and reissued—all eight volumes of it—by Shonen Gahosha's YK Comics in 2010. (Wish someone would reissue the series here; the—Pentamedia?—version I have is incomplete.) Other titles credited to Moriyama Daisuke-sensei are the one-volume Mousou Kikou - Adolescence Avatar published by ASCII Media Works in January 2012 and Koko ni Iru Suiren Moriyama Daisuke Tanpenshuu, a collection of short stories released by Kadokawa in September 2002.
