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. Shinichi's daily life will never be the same. Forced to skip school and abandon his home to protect his loved ones, he wanders the streets in search of others like him. Meanwhile, the parasites are starting to work together, while the human authorities are learning how they might be able to fight back. As private detective Kuramori learns the extent of the parasites' capacity for violence, parasite Reiko Tamura learns about the human capacity for compassion. But will that be enough to stop the bloodshed? 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.
