essence
“Parasites” are tennis ball-sized organisms whose numbers and origins are unknown. They invade and take over the human mind to survive. Shinichi Izumi is a 16-year-old high school student who lives with his parents in a quiet neighborhood. One night, a parasite attacks Shinichi’s body in an attempt to control him. However, it fails to complete the acquisition process and eventually remains only in his right hand.
Thus, both Shinichi and Parasite – who call themselves Migi – maintain their individual minds. Now in a peculiar “human and alien” relationship, Miggy proposes that they cooperate to survive. Shinichi has no choice but to agree, and must now stick to his morals as he and Migi face off against other bloodthirsty parasites. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
