Parasyte Paperback Collection 3

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.

Change is the only sure thing. Shinichi has recovered from near death, but at the cost of more of his original, human body, which Migi had to replace. The two have also learned that they can work together, destroying the parasite that killed Shinichi's mother. But so much remains unknown. What are the limitations of Migi and Shinichi's shared body? Why can the fully-human girl Kana detect Shinichi's presence, as a prey animal detects a predator? And finally, most importantly, what is the ultimate goal of the cunning and ruthless parasite Ryoko?

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.
