Parasyte Full Color Collection Vol. 03 (Hardcover)

Parasyte Full Color Collection Vol. 03

The sci-fi horror manga classic returns, with an updated translation and lettering, in a fully-colorized, premium-quality hardcover for the first time! If you’ve never read the story of Shinichi and the polite and murderous creature infesting his right arm–or even if you already own the series–there’s never been a better way to collect it.

Presented in eight volumes containing about 300 pages of manga each.

Strange parasites have invaded Earth and taken over the minds of ordinary people. Shinichi has also been infected with a parasite, but he can still think and act for himself, and that makes him different. He’s already been approached by two mysterious victims of the invasion: Ryoko Tamiya, a schoolteacher, and her former lover, A. While Ryoko may yet be ally or foe, Shinichi barely escaped A’s attack with his life intact. Now, there’s a new parasite in town, and he’s a student in Shinichi’s school! Just what do these parasites want with humanity…and with Shinichi?

For more than 30 years, new generations of readers have been riveted to this unlikely buddy story that unfolds amid a world of monstrosities that never stay hidden for long. Since its first release, in 1988, Parasyte has inspired live-action films, spinoffs, and, in 2015, a global hit anime series. The Full Color Collection presents Hitoshi Iwaaki’s original manga in hardcover for the first time, with each page carefully colorized and a revised translation for 2022. There’s never been a better time to stay up late and get your hand on Parasyte!

Biographical Notes:

After starting his career as an assistant to Lady Snowblood creator Kazuo Kamimura, Hitoshi Iwaaki broke out with 1988’s body horror-alien invasion story Parasyte, which would become a global hit and go on to be adapted into two live-action films and a popular anime series. Iwaaki’s other works include Historie, Neo Devilman, and Reiri.
