Parasyte 1

"A plague of alien parasites has invaded Earth, taken over human hosts and begun feasting on humanity. Most of the hosts are oblivious to their captors, but high schooler Shinichi is fighting to control his own body against an alien parasite and wondering how he can warn humanity before it is too late."--

An ordinary teenage boy named Shinichi Izumi lives with his parents in a quiet neighbourhood until alien parasites invade. They are worm-like creatures that enter human 'hosts' through their ears or noses and take over their brains.

A Parasite attempts to crawl into Shinichi's ear and take over his brain while he sleeps, but is stopped by his headphones and accidentally burrows into one of his hands instead. With separate intellects, he and his parasite, Migi, fight the invasion of the town.

Parasyte 1 begins the thrilling journey of Shinichi and Migi as they navigate the new world around them.
