The classic sci-fi horror manga "Parasyte" returns in a premium full-color hardcover edition, featuring updated translation and lettering. This final volume follows Shinichi as he confronts deadly parasites while navigating trust with Migi. Celebrated for over 30 years, it culminates in a gripping conclusion to their epic journey.
Shinichi Izumi might seem like an ordinary high school boy, but he harbors a deadly secret -- an alien parasite has taken him as its host. After failing to subsume him completely, the parasite was forced to settle in his right arm, and a strange partnership was born. With threats around every corner -- parasite and human alike -- they must learn to work together or perish. But this parasite is ruthless, deadly, and utterly indifferent to human suffering... and it seems to have an influence on Shinichi that's more than skin deep. As Shinichi fights for control of his body, can he also hold on to his humanity?

Entdecke den Ursprung der außerirdischen Parasiten in diesem Horror-Action-Thriller! Woher die außerirdischen Parasiten kamen, weiß keiner. Sie dringen in menschliche Körper ein, nehmen deren Gehirne in Besitz und fangen an, andere Menschen zu überfallen, um sie zu fressen. Doch bei Schüler Shin’ichi Izumi ist es anders. Zwar wird auch er von einem besonders lernbegierigen Parasiten befallen, der sich selbst Migi nennt, doch der schafft es nicht, das Gehirn des Schülers zu übernehmen. Stattdessen nistet er sich in seiner rechten Hand ein, sodass sich zwischen den beiden eine bizarre Form von Koexistenz entspinnt. Gemeinsam stürzen sie sich in den großen Kampf gegen die mörderischen Parasiten. Das erwartet dich in Band 2: Shin‘ichi Izumis Eltern sind verreist, und Shin‘ichi ist nun allein zu Hause. Bei Schlägereien mit anderen Schülern zieht er den Kürzeren, doch nach und nach entdeckt er subtile Veränderungen an sich selbst. Andernorts wandert ein Parasit von Körper zu Körper, und bald hat Shin‘ichi ein sehr verstörendes Telefongespräch mit seinem Vater, das seinen Alltag gehörig durcheinanderbringt. Sein Leben gerät in Gefahr und ändert sich schlagartig … Enthält farbiges Artwork und zusätzliche Extras! April 2024 – Start der Live-Action-Verfilmung auf Netflix!
"The sci-fi horror manga classic returns, in a fully-colorized, premium-quality hardcover for the first time! If you've never read the story of Shinichi and the polite and murderous alien infesting his right arm-or even if you already own the series-there's never been a better way to collect it. They arrive in silence, out of dark skies. They infest human hosts and consume them. And they are everywhere. They are Parasites: alien creatures who must invade and take control of human hosts to survive. Once they have infected their victims, they can twist their hosts's bodies into any abominable shapes they choose: craniums splitting to reveal mouths of sharp teeth, batlike wings erupting from backs, blades tearing through soft hands. But most have chosen to conceal their lethal purposes behind ordinary human faces. No one knows their secret, except an ordinary high school student. Shinichi managed to stop the infestation of his body by an alien parasite, but can he find a way to warn humanity of the horrors to come? For more than 30 years, new generations of readers have been riveted to this unlikely buddy story that unfolds amid a world of monstrosities that never stay hidden for long. Since its first release, in 1988, Parasyte has inspired live-action films, spinoffs, and, in 2015, a global hit anime series. The Full Color Collection presents Hitoshi Iwaaki's original manga in hardcover for the first time, with each page carefully colorized and a revised translation for 2022. There's never been a better time to stay up late and get your hand on Parasyte!"--Publisher
