Parasyte (Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu)

Se sitúa en un mundo en el que unos alienígenas llamados Parásitos llegan a la Tierra. Poco a poco comienzan a poseer a los humanos a base de entrar por sus orejas y fosas nasales, adhiriendo a sus cerebros. Un alien llamado Migi solo consigue controlar el brazo derecho de un estudiante de instituto llamado Shinichi Izumi, y por mucho que lo intenta, no logra dominarle por completo. Con el tiempo ambos aprenden a coexistir y luchan contra otros Parásitos que consideran a los humanos como mera comida.
Parasyte centers on a 17-year-old teen named Shinichi Izumi, who lives with his mother and father in a quiet neighborhood in Tokyo. One night, worm-like creatures called Parasites appear on Earth, taking over the brains of human hosts by entering through their ears or noses. One Parasite attempts to crawl into Shinichi's ear while he sleeps, but fails as Shinichi is wearing headphones, and enters his body by burrowing into his arm instead. In the Japanese version, it takes over his right hand and is named Migi (ミギー), after the Japanese word for 'right'; Tokyopop's version, in which the images are flipped horizontally, has the Parasite take over Shinichi's left hand and it is named Lefty.
Because Shinichi was able to prevent Migi from travelling further up into his brain, both beings retain their separate intellect and personality. As the duo encounter other Parasites, they capitalize on their strange situation and gradually form a strong bond, working together to survive. This gives them an edge in battling other Parasites who frequently attack the pair upon realization that Shinichi's human brain is still intact. Shinichi feels compelled to fight other Parasites, who devour humans as food, while enlisting Migi's help.
