Description: Parasyte -the maxim-
Based on Hitoshi Iwaaki's Sci-Fi manga, Parasyte -the maxim- tells of a deadly and quiet alien invasion of the form of alien parasites. They infect human hosts by taking over the brain and killing and eating other humans, all while attempting to keep their threat a secret from humanity. The protagonist Shinichi Izumi is a regular High School student who almost becomes another victim of the alien plague, until it ends up infecting his right hand instead! Realizing he's stuck in symbiotic relationship with the parasite, he names it Migi. Together they try to quell the threat of the parasites, all while trying to keep Migi's existence a secret. They soon become embroiled in a deadly struggle between human and parasite for the continued dominion of Planet Earth....
