4Esse teve um bom equilíbrio entre os elementos gore e a transformação da personagem principal e do parasita。 Não tem como não ficar curiosa pelo próximo！

Another excellent volume， I have nothing particularly new to say that I haven't said in reviewing the prior volumes - we still get excellent pacing， engaging characters and exciting visual action。 I also enjoy the translation notes at the end which give some little general knowledge facts about the culture and language of Japan。This volume sadly doesn't have any of the Q&A sections with Iwaaki but it feels unfair to mark it down a star for that。 I hope these sections will return in later volumes Another excellent volume， I have nothing particularly new to say that I haven't said in reviewing the prior volumes - we still get excellent pacing， engaging characters and exciting visual action。 I also enjoy the translation notes at the end which give some little general knowledge facts about the culture and language of Japan。This volume sadly doesn't have any of the Q&A sections with Iwaaki but it feels unfair to mark it down a star for that。 I hope these sections will return in later volumes。 。。。more

A real page turner。 Compared to the comedic horror of volume 1， there are more action scenes， more horror and gore， and the pacing picks up considerably。 Both Shinichi and Migi are going through significant changes as they learn to adapt to one another。 There are some mutual benefits to their "relationship" even though Shinichi is alienating the people closest to him。 I am really excited about the plot developments in this volume and can't wait to see how they will play out in the upcoming chapt A real page turner。 Compared to the comedic horror of volume 1， there are more action scenes， more horror and gore， and the pacing picks up considerably。 Both Shinichi and Migi are going through significant changes as they learn to adapt to one another。 There are some mutual benefits to their "relationship" even though Shinichi is alienating the people closest to him。 I am really excited about the plot developments in this volume and can't wait to see how they will play out in the upcoming chapters。 。。。more

Parasyte: Volume 3 - Alien Nation - 5/5 By Hitoshi IwaakiThe introduction of two new villains into this series made it that much more interesting， but made the story harder to follow。 There was a much more serious undertone in this volume as the stakes are raised for Shinichi and Migi！ Shinichi finds that he is facing a huge amount of emotional turmoil - seeing things no human should ever have to witness， let alone a teenaged boy！ The overall tone really works for this volume and makes the reade Parasyte: Volume 3 - Alien Nation - 5/5 By Hitoshi IwaakiThe introduction of two new villains into this series made it that much more interesting， but made the story harder to follow。 There was a much more serious undertone in this volume as the stakes are raised for Shinichi and Migi！ Shinichi finds that he is facing a huge amount of emotional turmoil - seeing things no human should ever have to witness， let alone a teenaged boy！ The overall tone really works for this volume and makes the reader really empathise with the main character。 ------------------------------------------------Parasyte （Full Series） - 5/5By Hitoshi IwaakiON EARTH SOMEONE THOUGHT…"IF THERE WERE HALF OF THE NUMBER OF HUMANS， HOW MANY FEWER FORESTS WOULD WE BURN？"ON EARTH SOMEONE THOUGHT…"IF THERE WAS ONE HUMAN FOR EVERY HUNDRED， THEN THE POISON THEY GIVE OFF， WOULD BE THAT MUCH LESS"。SOMEONE THOUGHT "WE HAVE TO PROTECT THE FUTURE OF ALL LIFE"If you haven't read Parasyte yet， you really need to！ It is one of the best manga series on the market。 I first heard of Parasyte after watching the anime and felt that I just had to read it！ Like any TV adaptation - quite a few interesting thoughts and ideas were missed out。 I found they were explored in depth in the manga。 This series really made me question humans and their humanity。 。。。more

J'ai adoré cette trilogie gore et métaphysique， même si je n'ai pas retrouvé l'humour du premier volume dans les deux suivants （en même temps vu la tournure dramatique prise par les événements， on peut le comprendre）。 Excellent seinen， même si je n'ai peut-être pas eu la claque monumentale à laquelle je m'attendais à la fin。 En même temps， le récit ne se termine pas sur un épilogue manichéen et c'est très bien comme ça， bien plus réaliste et nuancé。 J'ai adoré cette trilogie gore et métaphysique， même si je n'ai pas retrouvé l'humour du premier volume dans les deux suivants （en même temps vu la tournure dramatique prise par les événements， on peut le comprendre）。 Excellent seinen， même si je n'ai peut-être pas eu la claque monumentale à laquelle je m'attendais à la fin。 En même temps， le récit ne se termine pas sur un épilogue manichéen et c'est très bien comme ça， bien plus réaliste et nuancé。 。。。more

After the emotionally taxing events of last volume， Shinichi tries to pick up the pieces of his life and resume his focus on school。 Unlike previous volumes that focused more on battle and elements of body horror， this volume is more of a slow thriller。 A new parasite comes to Shinichi's school， and the protagonist has to figure out whether this is friend or foe。 Volume 3 raises some questions on the nature of the parasites and why they are what they are， but the biggest focus of the story is Sh After the emotionally taxing events of last volume， Shinichi tries to pick up the pieces of his life and resume his focus on school。 Unlike previous volumes that focused more on battle and elements of body horror， this volume is more of a slow thriller。 A new parasite comes to Shinichi's school， and the protagonist has to figure out whether this is friend or foe。 Volume 3 raises some questions on the nature of the parasites and why they are what they are， but the biggest focus of the story is Shinichi's slow loss of humanity。 He's not completely a parasite， he still argues with Migi about what is right， but he finds himself at odds with the rest of the school too。 He's caring， but relies more on his logic than this emotion。 He wants to help people， but he cares more about doing the right thing because it's the right thing than he feels actual connection to the people around him。 In some ways， he's become tougher。 More confident。 Braver。 In other ways he's become colder， quicker to anger， and more tense。 He has quite literally become more of a monster and is struggling to maintain his grip on humanity。Parasites have been on Earth for a while now。 They've found their hosts。 They've started adapting to human life。 They can be harder to keep track of， but by now some people have taken notice of some of the strange killings and disappearances - including the police。 While Shinichi struggles with his own humanity， he doesn't have time to think。 The world is noticing that something is wrong and it's only a matter of time until someone - or something - catches on。 。。。more

This is a review of the entire series。Synopsis: They arrive in silence and darkness。 They descend from the skies。 They have a hunger for human flesh。 They are everywhere。 They are parasites， alien creatures who must invade and take control of a human host to survive。 And once they have infected their victims， they can assume any deadly form they choose: monsters with giant teeth， winged demons， creatures with blades for hands。 But most have chosen to conceal their lethal purpose behind ordinary This is a review of the entire series。Synopsis: They arrive in silence and darkness。 They descend from the skies。 They have a hunger for human flesh。 They are everywhere。 They are parasites， alien creatures who must invade and take control of a human host to survive。 And once they have infected their victims， they can assume any deadly form they choose: monsters with giant teeth， winged demons， creatures with blades for hands。 But most have chosen to conceal their lethal purpose behind ordinary human faces。 So no one knows their secret - except an ordinary high school student。 Shin is battling for control of his own body against an alien parasite， but can he find a way to warn humanity of the horrors to come？Review: A very smoothly paced psychological thriller with creative action scenes， philosophical commentary and witty humor featuring body morphing parasites that use human body parts as hosts。 The protagonist goes through some extreme character development at a rapid pace without feeling rushed， forcing himself to adjust from a once familiar world that now feels hostile and alien because of the parasite that has infiltrated his body and marked him as a target for bloodthirsty predators; both human and inhuman。 Faced with impossible odds and countless moral dilemmas， Shin and his parasite Migi have no choice but to band together for the sake of their mutual survival。 Seeing the extremes of every living creature and the cruelty that all species are capable of， you'll end the story with a few questions。 "Who are the real monsters？" is just one of many。It channels vibes from 1980's sci-fi horror flicks like John Carpenter's The Thing and even some of Junji Ito's bizarre and morbidly funny body horror。 It's a great read for fans of retro horror that packs just the right amount of emotional and philosophical punches。 。。。more

A great series that is at once both an easy read that remains absolutely gripping throughout， while still posing some extremely deep and existential questions about what it means to be both a human and a creature of Earth， as well as analysing the way that we look upon and treat other species， and the way that we ourselves may be looked upon， whether that be the fellow creatures of our planet that we have lived alongside for thousands of years， or potential alien species， such as in this case - A great series that is at once both an easy read that remains absolutely gripping throughout， while still posing some extremely deep and existential questions about what it means to be both a human and a creature of Earth， as well as analysing the way that we look upon and treat other species， and the way that we ourselves may be looked upon， whether that be the fellow creatures of our planet that we have lived alongside for thousands of years， or potential alien species， such as in this case - the invading parasites。 It also takes a look at societal constructs and human behaviours towards our fellow man， whether this be empathy or savagery， and Hitoshi Iwaaki presents a great variety of diverse and developing viewpoints throughout， the writing genuinely makes you stop and ponder these ideas at many moments across the series， while never presenting anything as strictly right or wrong。 This sense of ambiguity that is present throughout is especially true of the story's conclusion， which has left me in an extremely philosophical state for days afterwards （of course this is especially aided by the current environment of self isolation in which almost everyone is at home with a lot of time to think）， I'm glad that Iwaaki remained consistent in his ability to let the reader think for themselves from start to finish， and this is one of the reasons "Parasyte" is such a successful piece of work。I would certainly recommend this series to most readers， especially anyone into manga of any kind， the concept is very interesting， and although there is a common "us vs。 them" / "good vs。 evil" style conflict in this story between the parasites and humans， the ideas presented here go much， much deeper。 The relationship between the main protagonist， Shinichi， and the parasite， Migi （who lives in his right hand due to a failure to take control of Shinichi's brain）， and their ensuing struggles to understand each other， as well as their respective species'， is really where the story shines。 Their relationship， obviously a very unique one， is developed extremely thoughtfully and believably throughout the narrative， and due to the nature of the relationship between them this almost forces the reader to confront the grey area that fills 99% of the landscape between "good and evil" （or humans vs。 parasites）， and to look at things from different perspectives。 Personally I find the grey area in pretty much any discussion to be the most interesting， because nothing in life is ever truly black and white， good or evil， right or wrong - so when we force ourselves to delve into this grey area and take a look at other， possibly conflicting viewpoints， as "Parasyte" most certainly does， this helps not only to broaden our horizons， expand our thought processes and develop our opinions， but it can also help us to better understand ourselves as humans and as individuals， and anything that can achieve that is a success in my eyes。 。。。more

Another human， infected by a parasite， turns up at Shin's school。 This wasn't quite as good as the first two， but still worth reading。 The art is only so-so until you get to scenes of the parasite twisting itself into bizarre shapes that are useful for killing。 I'll read the next in the series。 Another human， infected by a parasite， turns up at Shin's school。 This wasn't quite as good as the first two， but still worth reading。 The art is only so-so until you get to scenes of the parasite twisting itself into bizarre shapes that are useful for killing。 I'll read the next in the series。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Really good suspense this volume。 I like how Izumi's charater is developing， the death of his mom and absorbing part of migi is making him darker。 I like how they figured out how could tell the difference between parasites and human by cutting of a hair。 In the prequel of the movie "the thing" they where able to detect the shape shifting alien in a similar way， but they used blood instead of hair。 Hair is easier and quicker to take then blood。 I wish volume 2 and 3 had a bit more of the humor 1 Really good suspense this volume。 I like how Izumi's charater is developing， the death of his mom and absorbing part of migi is making him darker。 I like how they figured out how could tell the difference between parasites and human by cutting of a hair。 In the prequel of the movie "the thing" they where able to detect the shape shifting alien in a similar way， but they used blood instead of hair。 Hair is easier and quicker to take then blood。 I wish volume 2 and 3 had a bit more of the humor 1 had， but that to be expected since the main characters mom died。 And also a lot more people are dying。P。s。 this last commant has nothing to do with this volume in particular， but I just found out what year this series started; 1988。 It funny only finding out about it recently， properly since the anime ran in 2014。 。。。more

I didn't like this as much as the first two。 Shin and his parasyte now deal with a new parasite who is a student claiming to be nonviolent and only wanting to learn about Shin's relationship with his parasite。 The violence was fun as usual， but there was a lot of filler and it was very predictable。Overall: Three out of five stars， did not enjoy as much as previous installments， will not continue with the series。 I didn't like this as much as the first two。 Shin and his parasyte now deal with a new parasite who is a student claiming to be nonviolent and only wanting to learn about Shin's relationship with his parasite。 The violence was fun as usual， but there was a lot of filler and it was very predictable。Overall: Three out of five stars， did not enjoy as much as previous installments， will not continue with the series。 。。。more
