Summary: Parasyte centers on a 17-year-old male 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.

My review: The idea of aliens taking over people's bodies and trying taking over the Earth is not new and only the lazy ones haven't seen at least one version of this scenario it Hollywood movies before. What's so different with Parasyte you might wonder? Well, there is no short answer to that question. First and foremost, it's not just action with not plot or idea kind of piece. There is morale of the story, its' own ideology, making you question your life believes and choices. That's what makes is so great in my book. It asks "Who are the monsters really? Us or them?"
