Parasyte Full Color Collection 5

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The sci-fi horror manga classic returns, with an updated translation and lettering, in a fully-colourised, premium-quality hardcover for the first time! If you've never read the story of Shinichi and the polite and murderous creature infesting his right arm—or even if you already own the series—there's never been a better way to collect it.

Presented in eight volumes containing about 300 pages of manga each.

After a parasite invaded Shinichi's body and ate his right arm, Shinichi hasn't been the same. He's become something monstrous, but unlike the rest of the parasites, he's retained his mind, including his human conscience, which weighs on him heavily. He now walks a thin line between the humans who have uncovered the truth and the parasites who know of his hybrid existence. As the situation starts to escalate, what will happen to Shinichi?

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 colourised and a revised translation for 2022. There's never been a better time to stay up late and get your hand on Parasyte!
