Shinichi is a high school age boy who has a big problem. His right arm has been taken over by an alien. Can Shinichi and the alien work together to get Shinichi through high school? Read the hilarious manga Parasyte Paperback Collection 1 to find out.
I love manga. But due to cultural differences it is rare to find one this consistently laugh-out-loud funny. The alien is only trying to learn human culture. He is just curious and making stupid juvenile mistakes. Plus he is a little too fascinated with one of Shinichi’s body parts in particular. You know the one that most male preteens (and some older men) are obsessed with too.
Even if you don’t particularly like manga, give Parasyte Paperback Collection 1 a try. It is funnier than most television comedies for sure. 5 stars and a favorite!
