Aliens · Sci-Fi1. Parasyte
by Iwaaki Hitoshi
- Action
- Horror
- Philosophical
- Psychological
One night, alien parasites fall silently from the sky. They burrow into human hosts, take over their brains and feed on people while wearing ordinary faces. The parasite meant for high-school student Shinichi Izumi fails to reach his brain and takes over his right hand instead. Shinichi and the parasite, who names itself Migi, are forced into an uneasy partnership: one body, two minds, and neither can survive without the other. As parasites spread through the city, including the cold, curious Ryoko Tamiya, who studies humanity as closely as it studies her, Shinichi fights to protect the people he loves, while slowly changing in ways that frighten him. Hitoshi Iwaaki's horror classic is a gripping, thoughtful story about what makes us human and humanity's place in nature. It won the Kodansha Manga Award and was adapted into an anime, live-action films and a Netflix series.

Kade has settled into a quiet, solitary life that leaves little room for surprises or other people. That changes the night an alien girl crash-lands in his backyard.

She has a great deal to learn about life on Earth, from food and customs to the strange habits of humans, and he has to learn how to share his space with someone.

Humanity has expanded into space, but someone still has to collect the rubbish it leaves behind. Hachimaki works aboard an orbital debris ship, removing objects that could destroy passing spacecraft.

Beyond their small crew, nations and corporations carry Earth's inequalities into the new frontier. Makoto Yukimura makes space exploration a story about workers, ambition and human connection. Carefully imagined machinery and the physical dangers of orbit sit alongside intimate questions about grief, responsibility and the lives people hope to build when distance alone cannot solve their problems.
