Amazing ending just amazing..This HAS to become anime!A year later and your wish has come true.



Live action and an anime in the same year!? Its been just about 2 decades since this manga finished, what's with the sudden uproar? Anyway, I guess that's talk for a different thread.



I finished reading this today and I was very pleased with it, almost to the point of a 10/10. In hindsight, some things were holding it back from hitting that mark though. The art is dated, but this was made in the 1990's so it's not fair to dock points for that imo, and the translation, while not the best, got the job done, but the things that I think held it back were just some minor character flaws and some things in the story that just didn't make sense to me (i.e. What is stopping other parasytes from coming together and becoming another goto, the detective finds out that Shinichi has a parasyte in his arm, but his dad never does??? and there's many more..not really "errors" per-say but just nittpicks).

Amazing ending just amazing..This HAS to become anime!

[It is confirmed by the manga–ka that Shinichi and his girlfriend both survived, as it was stated in the interview from Parasyte vol. 8 Del–Rey edition that I quoted in my previous post. I'd take an official translation over a fan translation any day.

That's good to know, thanks for the info.

Damn what a nice manga. It wasnt something special but damn it was enjoyable. And i have to admit that Migi was my favorite character in the series. I was so sad when we thought that he died :/

And even in the end it was touching. DAMN MIGI!

Did Migi actually pull the girl up or was it just in his mind?



Maybe it's me, the two panels showed that she was quite far below arm length. I was thinking migi stretched out and grabbed her, would make more sense,she being so close to the edge made it unrealistically, like it happened in his mind. Ooh creepy!

Overall it was a great manga and so was this last chapter

i really thought the girl died and at that moment i was kinda upset because Shinichi suffered so much that i wanted a happy ending for him,so i was glad to see her alive after all :)

very moving couple of final pages...



overall i greatly enjoyed this manga but often felt like something was missing. whatever it was, author just saved it for last.

What a great ride. I didn't get bored at all.

The mangaka made a nice touch with the ending though; instead of giving us an after-story, he pulled something crazy that kept me hook until the very last panel. Sasuga.

Yeah, but that's still an 'anime' whichever way you see it. If Parasyte is done as a 12 ep OVA, would it be illegal? Wondering.

I'll be honest, I don't like how it ended. Migi just disappearing, random serial killer returning after a year. Meh

Regarding the fate of Shinichi and Satomi, they hadn't sustained any mortal wounds, so it will be illogical that they died in the end. Also, in the Del-Rey edition, Shinichi mentioned when the people came and looked in their direction that they thought they had also died, which is also another proof that they had survived. I think that he and Satomi were just savoring the moment. Anyway, I was screaming in my head when Shinichi missed Satomi the first time that "NO, not her also. Isn't it enough that Shinichi had already lost his mother and Migi T_T"



It was sad seeing Migi go; he was my favorite character in the manga. Iwaaki mentioned in the interview in vol. 8 of the Del-Rey edition that he was contemplating drawing Migi's eyes in the close-up on Shinichi's hand in the end, but he decided not to. I would've loved if he had gone with that idea.



I wish if Del-Rey or any other company would license more of Iwaaki's work, especially the masterpiece, Historie.

i hope Murano didn't hook up with any other guys while she's in her the university for  this 1 year time skip... cause  Shinishinichi didn't hook up with any obviously... o well at least both them get to live and and finally the whole ordeal is done... nice ending...



W...what?  Why would that matter at all?

Because no one likes a slut.
