Parasyte Paperback Collection 3
Description
Return to the immortal horror saga with Parasyte Paperback Collection 3, presenting Hitoshi Iwaaki’s original black-and-white artwork in a newly revised translation and updated interior and cover design. Shinichi Izumi, now sharing a body with the sentient parasite Migi, battles the thing that invaded his life while grappling with questions of humanity, identity, and survival. Kana, a human girl who senses Shinichi’s presence, adds emotional tension as the mystery of the parasitic threat deepens. Across 288 pages, the eight-volume series unfolds its blend of body horror, suspense, and sharp social observation, building toward a then-unfolded climax of Ryoko’s cunning and ruthlessness. This edition preserves the classic appeal while inviting new readers to experience the story that helped inspire an acclaimed anime and live-action adaptations. Its compact volume format invites a fresh audience to dive into a chilling world of parasitic intrigue.
