It was originally licensed for English translation and North American distribution by Tokyopop, which published the series over 12 volumes.

Parasyte was originally serialized in Kodansha's Morning Open Zōkan from 1988 and switched to Monthly Afternoon after a few issues, were it ran from 1990 to 1995. When considering a scene where Migi turns his shape into a penis in front of Satomi Murano, Iwaaki believed that the scene would work best in a high school setting, so Iwaaki gave Parasyte a high school setting. Iwaaki chose a high school setting due to a scene he had thought of. Shinichi's experience with Migi causes him to question if humanity has any right to claim moral superiority to the Parasites, while Migi and Reiko Tamura's experiences with humans cause them to take on more human traits, such as love and sacrifice. The series explores philosophical and psychological questions such as the meaning of humanity, humans' relationship to the environment and other species, the role of instinct and love, and the inherent anthropocentrism of morality. Shinichi feels compelled to fight other Parasites, who devour other members of the species they infect as food, while enlisting Migi's help. This gives them an edge in battling other Parasites who frequently attack the pair upon realization that Shinichi's human brain is still intact. As the duo encounters other Parasites, they capitalize on their strange situation and gradually form a strong bond, working together to survive. In the Japanese version, it takes over his right hand and is named Migi ( ミギー), after the Japanese word for 'right'.īecause Shinichi was able to prevent Migi from traveling further up into his brain, both beings retain their separate intellects and personalities. One Parasite attempts to crawl into Shinichi's nose while he sleeps, but fails as Shinichi wakes up, and enters his body by burrowing into his arm instead. One night, tiny worm-like aliens with drill-like heads called Parasites arrive on Earth, taking over the brains of their hosts by entering through their ears or noses. Parasyte centers on a 17-year-old male high school student named Shinichi Izumi, who lives with his mother and father in a quiet neighborhood in Fukuyama, Hiroshima, Japan. As of December 2020, the manga had over 24 million copies in circulation.Ī manga panel showing a Parasite getting ready to attack a human being.
