Ben's review
'Parasyte' is a reasonably well realised synthesis of drama, action and philosophy. Hitoshi Iwaaki's story follows the journey of protagonist Shinichi as he deals with the problem that will change his life forever: The Parasyte Migi. The two protagonists are brought together by chance when Migi, trying to invade Shinichi's mind and take it over fails, resorts to taking over Shinichi's hand. The two then merge creating the a dual protagonist: two persons in one body. Shinichi and Migi get involved many predicaments precipitated by the two's agglomeration as Migi's alien race is the very antithesis of humanity; very mechanical, logical beings, governed by their instincts and needs rather than by any duty to others or morality.
