Parasyte Paperback Collection

Experience the timeless horror manga as it was originally intended! For the first time in over a decade, the Parasyte Paperback Collection unites Hitoshi Iwaaki’s original black-and-white artwork with a revised translation as well as updated interior and cover design.

Shinichi’s daily life will never be the same. To protect his loved ones, he has no choice but to skip school and leave his home. Out on the streets, he searches for others like him. Meanwhile, the Parasites begin to work together, and the authorities find their first ways to fight back. Private detective Kuramori learns the full extent of the Parasites’ capacity for violence, while the Parasite Reiko Tamura discovers humanity’s capacity for compassion. But is that enough to stop the bloodshed?

Completed in eight volumes, the Parasyte Paperback Collection offers the same translation, lettering, and size as the acclaimed hardcover edition of the Parasyte Full Color Collection. This timeless work inspired the worldwide hit anime Parasyte -the maxim- as well as the live-action series by the director of Train to Busan, Parasyte: The Grey.
