Experience the immortal horror manga as it was originally meant to be read! For the first time in more than a decade, the Parasyte Paperback Collection pairs Hitoshi Iwaaki's original, black-and-white art with a revised translation and updated interior and cover design. Keeping it all inside Shinichi is wracked with guilt and paranoia over his monstrous transformation, and the human detective sniffing around isn't helping his nerves. Struggling to protect his human sense of integrity amidst monsters imitating human behavior more and more closely, Shinichi's relationships with his friends and family grow strained and distant. Will Shinichi be able to stand for what's right, and fight back against cleverer monsters than ever before? Complete in eight volumes, Parasyte Paperback Collection features the translation, lettering, and size of the recent, acclaimed hardcover Parasyte Full Color Collection. This timeless manga inspired the global smash hit anime Parasyte�-the maxim- and the live-action TV drama from the director of Train to Busan, Parasyte: The Grey.
