About Parasyte
Teenager Shinichi wakes up one night to discover a creature crawling under the skin of his right arm. That creature is a Parasite, a creature that takes control of a person's body and turns it into a shapeshifting monstrosity hungry for human flesh.
Shinichi has managed to stop his parasite with a tourniquet, and as a result, it takes over only his arm, leaving two consciousnesses sharing one body and dependent on each other to survive.
As parasites take control of more and more people, rumours spread of brutal murders committed by terrible abominations—heads splitting open to reveal mouths of sharp teeth, batlike wings erupting from backs, blades tearing through soft bellies.
Only Shinichi knows for sure that these rumours are all true. But can he find a way to live without destroying everyone he cares about, much less save the rest of humanity?
