Series overview
Parasyte Manga synopsis
Alien parasites descend on Earth and seize human brains, hiding their predatory nature behind familiar faces. High schooler Shinichi Izumi narrowly avoids that fate when one parasite, Migi, takes control of his right hand instead. Forced into an uneasy partnership, they fight other parasites while Shinichi’s humanity changes under the strain. Their survival story becomes a stark confrontation with violence, identity, and humanity’s place in nature.
