A manga about a young man who’s right hand is taken over by an alien parasite that feed on humans.
Wonderful seinen horror series. One of the best things about this manga is Hitoshi Iwaaki’s horrific art work. Infected human head split open and transform into gaping maws filled with fangs and tentacles. I also love how the story never devolved into making the main character some kind of superhero who hunts down the parasytes and instead has a very sensible government who reacts realistically to the alien threat.
It’s had numerous spin-offs like Kiseijuu Reversi & Neo-Parasyte m and had a great anime adaptation a few years back.
We’ve done a full Retrospective on it.
Available from Kodansha Comics.
