Parasyte (12 Volumes Edition) #10
Parasyte, Volume 10
Our planet has been invaded by Parasytes -- alien creatures that take over their hosts’ bodies and turn the victims into killing machines. So far, they’ve had the upper hand. Their ability to morph their appearance and blend in, combined with their super-human strength and regenerative powers make them nearly unstoppable. The Japanese government is now striking back. Shin, one of only two humans to co-exist with a Parasyte, has been recruited to join a military raid on the Parasytes’ stronghold. But he’s not the only civilian involved -- a serial killer who makes Hannibal Lecter look tame has been released from prison to join the assault. As the hunter becomes the hunted, the line between good and evil grows even more blurred

[Esta breve reseña puede contener spoilers]
Terminé el manga y creo que no me gustó tanto. Muchos personajes quedaron a la deriva y no hubo una resolución de los parásitos ni tampoco lograron su objetivo(?)
No sabemos dónde se fue Migy, qué pasó con el papá de Shinichi ni cómo enfrentó la situación la ciudadanía.
No sé si «inconcluso» es la palabra para definirlo, pero siento que muchas situaciones y personajes quedaban en el tintero.

PARASTYE MANGA TÜM CİLTLER YORUM;
Dünyaya insan türünü yok etmek için gönderilen parazitler vardır. Bu parazitler, buldukları insan bedenlerinin içine girip beyinlerini ele geçiriyorlar. Normal hayata uyum sağlarken, acıktıklarında çevrelerinde hangi insan olursa olsun onları yiyorlar. Eğer bir köpeğin bedenindeyse, o zaman bir köpek yiyor. Kısacası kendi türlerini yiyorlar. Dünya da toplu cinayet sayıları artmaya başlıyor. Ama içlerinde ki başarısız bir parazit bir gece Shinichi Izumi’i ziyaret eder. Kulağında kulaklık olduğu için içine giremez, bu yüzden sağ elinden içeri girer ve artık bir insanı ele geçirmek yerine onun bir parçası olmuştur. İlk ciltte Parazitin ve Shinichi’nin beraber yaşarken ki çektikleri zorlukları ve uyum sağlamaya çalışmalarını izliyoruz.
Parazit çok meraklı ve sürekli bir şeyler okuyup çalışıyor. Ve o kadar tatlı ki, hele sonlara doğru gözümden kalpler fışkırarak okudum. İlk başlarda çok sinir bozucu biriydi ama daha sonradan Shinichi ile beraber büyüyüp olgunlaştı. Shinichi ise bu durumdan gayet memnun çünkü ne zaman başı sıkışsa parazit yardımına koşuyor. Ama bazen canına tak etmiyor değil. Daha büyük sorunları ise, insanların beyinlerini ele geçirip cinayet işleyen parazitler. Bunlardan kaçmak hiç kolay değildir.
İlk cildini inanılmaz beğenerek okumuştum. Daha sonra zaten tek üçüncü ve yedinci cildi sevmedim. Biraz olayları uzatarak anlatıldığını düşündüm. Ve bazı karakterler var ki inanılmaz uyuz. Mesela genel olarak manga erkek karakter şu şekilde “Kavga mı istiyorsun pislik? Gel de sana gününü göstereyim vs. vs.” Kadın karakterlerde ise “Ya ne kadar şapsalsın sen öyle hehehehe… İnanamıyorum ne kadar yakışıklı, güçlü falan filan.. Rüyalarımı süslüyor falan filan…” Bu tarz şeyler okumaktan biraz sıkılsam da karşıma çok güçlü bir kadın karakter çıktı. TAMURA-SAN. Kendisi bir parazit olmasına rağmen insan bir bebeğin annesi. İyi ve kötü arasında gidip gelen biri. Harika bir şekilde çizilmiş. Çizilen psikopat karakterlerin hepsini ağzım açık okudum. Bu çizim konusuna değinirsem birde içinde ki çoğu çizim çok iyiydi. Korku-gerilimi bana gayet hissettirdi. Birden bütün ciltleri okuyup bitirince içimde büyük bir boşluk oluştu. Bunun yerini kapatacak bir manga bulmalıyım sanırım.
Sona gelirsek eğer bu manganın bende uyandırdığı mesaj; parazitler ne kadar kötü olurlarsa olsunlar, onlarda birer insan. Ve insanlarda en az parazitler kadar kötü. Bu düşünce etrafında dolaşıp duruyor ve bu mesaj manganın içine çok iyi yerleşmiş. Bana korku, dram ve mutluluğu yaşatan çok iyi bir mangaydı. OKUYUN, OKUTUN.
Not: Bu manga toplamda 12 cilt olmasına rağmen, kendi öz dili hariç diğer tüm dillerde 10. ciltte son buluyor. Yani okurken “son 2 cilt nerde yaaa?” diye düşünmeyin dostlar.

El ritmo de este tomo es un poco lento y nos habla sobre cómo es vivir sin la simbiosis entre ambos seres, la fragilidad humana de sentir que somos héroes, lo que vamos perdiendo al cambiar drásticamente y la forma en que resolvemos nuestras situaciones de vida. Ese final en el que Shiki rescata a la chica por medio de Migi (a quien dijo que no se manifestaría nuevamente) da un toque esperanzador a una situación tan caótica con el asesino. Muy buena historia, pero lenta a comparación de otros tomos.

O Volume 10 funciona como a grande reta final emocional e filosófica de Parasyte. Não tem tantas explosões, batalhas frenéticas ou momentos grotescos como alguns volumes anteriores, mas é justamente esse respiro que dá peso à história. Aqui é onde Itō Hitoshi começa a “fechar a conta” e mostrar o que realmente queria dizer com todo esse caos envolvendo parasitas e humanos.
A essa altura, o Shinichi já passou por tanta coisa que está praticamente irreconhecível em comparação ao garoto assustado do começo. Mas o interessante é que, no Volume 10, ele volta a demonstrar fragilidade, insegurança, dúvidas… e isso não é regressão, é evolução mesmo.
É quase como se, depois de lidar com monstros, perseguições e a perda de pessoas importantes, ele finalmente tivesse espaço pra sentir tudo.
É um volume mais introspectivo, e o Shinichi fica meio “existencialista”, revisitando sua relação com o Migi e tentando entender o que restou dele mesmo no meio de tanta transformação.
Aqui acontece um dos pontos mais marcantes:
a mudança de comportamento do Migi.
Ele, que sempre foi lógico, frio, quase “robótico”, começa a mostrar nuances. Não vira emotivo, mas se torna… silenciosamente mais complexo. É o tipo de mudança que você só percebe porque está acompanhando os dois desde o começo.
Esse volume deixa aquela sensação de:
“O que é que realmente faz alguém ser humano?”
E Migi, ironicamente, contribui pra essa discussão mais do que qualquer humano da série.
O autor usa esse volume pra cutucar a sociedade de forma mais direta, contrastando humanos e parasitas e mostrando que nenhum dos lados é totalmente “bom” ou “ruim”.
Os parasitas, que eram pra ser vilões absolutos, ganham camadas. Os humanos, que teoricamente deveriam ser racionais, se mostram violentos, contraditórios, impulsivos.
É aquele momento do mangá em que você percebe que o terror nunca foi sobre cabeça sendo arrancada, mas sobre o que significa coexistir.
Adorei muito esse mangá, pretendo fazer uma releitura mais em breve

ซื้อ Ebook ใน Mebmarket กลับมาอ่านใหม่ 10 เล่มจบ สมัยนั้นที่อ่านครั้งแรกไม่เคยคิดเลยว่าจะได้มาอ่าน Ebook แบบนี้ได้ในช่วงชีวิตของเรา
คือคิดว่าอาจมีเครื่องแบบ iPad เกิดขึ้นนั่นแหละ แต่อาจได้ใช้ตอนแก่มากๆ แล้ว ปุ่มกดยุ่บยั่บ 😁 ได้มาใช้ตอนยังไม่ 40 ถึงว่าเร็วกว่าที่คิดมากก
เรื่องนี้เคยอ่านเมื่อยี่สิบกว่าปีที่แล้ว สมัยมอปลาย จำได้แต่ความเศร้าที่มิกี้ทิ้งร่างไปจากชินอิจิ กลับไปเป็นมือขวาธรรมดา ส่วนเรื่องอื่นลืมไปเกือบหมด แสดงว่าภาพจำอิมแพคคงเป็นเรื่องนี้เรื่องเดียว ได้ซื้อกลับมาอ่านอีกยังสนุกตื่นเต้นเหมือนเดิม
เจ้ามิกี้น่ารักดีนะ ตอนนั้นก็คิดว่าน่ารักแบบหลอนๆ 55
ประเด็นเผ่าพันธุ์ไหนที่สำคัญกว่ากัน มนุษย์จะล้นโลกต้องมีสิ่งมาปรับสมดุลก็เพิ่งมีธานอส Avengers Infinity War เล่นไปไม่นานนี้เอง
ยังคงคิดว่าถ้ามีธานอสหรือไอ้ตัวปรสิตนี่จริงๆ คงเป็นโรคระบาดฆ่าคนไม่เลือกชีวิตใตรหน้าไหนเพื่อลดประชากรโลกลง ก็มีมาหลายครั้งมากๆ แล้ว ล่าสุดตอนนี้ในต้นปี 2020 ก็คือไวรัสโคโรน่าที่อู่ฮั่น ประเทศจีน
ถึงจะอยากให้เลือกฆ่าแต่คนที่ไร้ประโยชน์หรือพวกฆาตกร แต่ใครกันจะเป็นคนตัดสินกันล่ะ จะเอาแบบคิระ DeathNote หรือ สุดท้ายก็ทำเพื่อตนเอง พวกปรสิตในเรื่องนี้ก็เหมือนกัน ก็ทำเพื่อตัวเองทั้งนั้น หิวก็ล่าเหยื่อ โดนคุกคามทำร้ายก็ฆ่า เอาจริงๆ ก็ปกติสิ่งมีชีวิตทั่วไปนะ
แต่ดันมาเป็นศัตรูตามธรรมชาติกับมนุษย์ที่เล่นงานเผ่าพันธุ์อื่นไปหมดแล้วก็เหนื่อยหน่อย สุดท้ายก็ต้องปรับตัวให้กลมกลืนกับพวกเรานั่นแหละถึงจะอยู่รอด
อาจมีไอ้ตัวแบบนี้จริงๆ ก็ได้นะ 55 เดินสวนกันทุกวันก็ไม่รู้
มีแค่ 2 ตนที่ก้าวข้ามความเป็นปรสิตไป
ทามูระที่ คอยครุ่นคิดถึงว่าตัวเองเกิดมาทำไม สุดท้ายก็เลือกปกป้องลูกที่คลอดออกมาจนตัวตาย ทั้งที่ยังคงไม่เข้าใจว่าทำไมเลือกทำแบบนี้แต่ก็ตัดสินใจจะทำให้ได้
กับมิกี้ทีตัดตัวเองออกจากชินอิจิและบอกให้เค้าหนีไปจะได้ไม่ต้องมาตายทั้งคู่
ถือว่าทั้งคู่ได้ Level Up ในฐานะสิ่งมีชีวิตทรงภูมิปัญญาแล้ว
ถ้าเชื่อในสังสารวัฏ คราวต่อไปคงได้เกิดมามีร่างกายของตัวเองเพียวๆ ไม่ต้องเป็นปรสิตสิงร่างใครอีก
การ์ตูนเด็กอ่านแต่คิดไปได้ลึกซึ้งกว่านิยายผู้ใหญ่หลายเรื่องเลย ตอนสมัยนั้นฮิตเรื่องปัญหาสิ่งแวดล้อม ตอนนี้พวกเราก็โดนฝุ่นพิษ PM 2.5 ไปตามๆ กัน คงถึงเวลาโดนเอาคืนกันซะที 20 กว่าปีเค็มได้ที่พอดีเลย

A edição brasileira é um pouco diferente e tem 10 volumes, como o original, pelo que eu entendi. Enfim, como balanço achei uma série boa, mas irregular; ainda assim merece algo entre 3.5 e 4 estrelas. A primeira metade é a mais fraca e, em geral, li como algo que estava me entretendo, mas sem uma conexão mais forte. Nessa seção o meu volume favorito foi o 2 e o meu personagem favorito o Miggy.
É bem evidente o salto de qualidade na segunda metade. Antes a história tinha algo de sessão da tarde; apesar das mortes era algo relativamente leve. No restante da obra existe mais profundidade, então é possível que os primeiros volumes sejam mais uma introdução. Eu tinha dúvidas se poderia mudar pra algo realmente melhor, mas felizmente foi o caso. A minha edição favorita foi a 6a. A 7a também é particularmente boa. E Miggy se consagrou como o meu personagem favorito. Todo o seu arco me cativou e me comoveu.
É bem claro que é uma história pra garotos adolescentes, a julgar a quantidade de piadas sobre sexo completamente bobas e gratuitas. Elas só existiam na história pra agradar a esse público e, do meu ponto de vista, não tinham alívio cômico nenhum, só ficava deslocado como algo machista.
Também parece ser voltado pra leitores mais jovens pela forma como os desdobramentos da trama são mastigados. É mais compreensível se for o caso, mas ainda me parece bem condescendente. Seria uma obra mais sofisticada se trabalhasse com alguns silêncios ou ambiguidades.
Se eu for fazer uma análise um pouco mais profunda, faltou uma crítica bem básica ao sistema capitalista. A moral da história fica muito na natureza humana num sentido muito essencial que fica meio simplista. Acho que é um discussão válida, mas pra além de ser óbvia demais porque é tudo praticamente desenhado, faltou uma abordagem minimamente mais estrutural. Acho que teria espaço já que a proposta é refletir sobre a vida humana na terra.

This is a review of the entire series.
Synopsis: They arrive in silence and darkness. They descend from the skies. They have a hunger for human flesh. They are everywhere. They are parasites, alien creatures who must invade and take control of a human host to survive. And once they have infected their victims, they can assume any deadly form they choose: monsters with giant teeth, winged demons, creatures with blades for hands. But most have chosen to conceal their lethal purpose behind ordinary human faces. So no one knows their secret - except an ordinary high school student. Shin is battling for control of his own body against an alien parasite, but can he find a way to warn humanity of the horrors to come?
Review: A very smoothly paced psychological thriller with creative action scenes, philosophical commentary and witty humor featuring body morphing parasites that use human body parts as hosts. The protagonist goes through some extreme character development at a rapid pace without feeling rushed, forcing himself to adjust from a once familiar world that now feels hostile and alien because of the parasite that has infiltrated his body and marked him as a target for bloodthirsty predators; both human and inhuman. Faced with impossible odds and countless moral dilemmas, Shin and his parasite Migi have no choice but to band together for the sake of their mutual survival. Seeing the extremes of every living creature and the cruelty that all species are capable of, you'll end the story with a few questions. "Who are the real monsters?" is just one of many.
It channels vibes from 1980's sci-fi horror flicks like John Carpenter's The Thing and even some of Junji Ito's bizarre and morbidly funny body horror. It's a great read for fans of retro horror that packs just the right amount of emotional and philosophical punches.

Old Woman (ch 59) was almost heartwarming.
Readiness (ch 60) felt kinda forced to me like why are they trying to cram in this one last character? Who's Mitsuyo's husband? I'm not sure I recognize him or if I even should. The only thing I could appreciate in this chapter was Shinji reaching some kind of understanding of the nature of animals including humans.
Grotesque (ch 61) and Morning (ch 62) were personally underwhelming. Into the Ordinary (ch 63) was bittersweet, and For You (ch 64) was much like ch 60 in that it seemed like it was trying so hard to cram in some more drama.
Anyway, I'm not too fond of the story, characters, or the art in Parasyte. Except for the clothes. But I really loved the theme! It's more or less aligned with what I believe in that we are all just trying to survive, and humans have faculties that are different from that of other organisms so it does not make sense to extend our standards to others. I also liked the whole individualism vs collectivism thing there was going on. I remember there was this theory that individual self-interest ultimately aligns with that of the collective??? Or maybe, I am forgetting. But I really loved that by the end, Shinji wasn't this noble hero fighting for humanity but his own survival just like Migi did in the beginning, and that Migi gave up his individuality despite his initial coldness because he finally understood what it meant to be human and he wanted Shinji to live as one.

This series became another one of my favorites! I’ve grown attached to Migi and he will always be a part of Shinichi. Shinichi has gone through great character development, especially with how his relationship with Migi went from being apprehensive to treating him as a close friend. It was amusing seeing them work well together to defeat their enemies.
The story has several pretty insightful monologues that make you think about humanity and how they treat the planet. I wished the author included more insight regarding the origins of the parasites but I didn’t dwell on that too much.
Artwork was very 90’s style but I liked how the anime looked more modernized.

I thought I'd be getting into a weird-ass horror manga filled with gore and alien bodies and spicing it up with some psychological elements. Instead it turned out to be far more of the latter than the former. The story had a lot to say about the human nature and our place in the world, and I guess it got me thinking too. A worthy read overall - perhaps more than I'd have expected it to be.

its good read, I haven't seen the anime yet.
about the manga its perfect it has some issues but its okiesh.

A great end, raises important concerns about environment, makes you think a lot about inter-species dynamics and still makes you care a lot about characters.

Sad and happy ending at the same time. Solid fucking manga.

It's a classic for a reason! A fantastic read about what it really means to be a human, definitely gives me some Devilman vibes. A great read!!

Hora de finalizar a incrível trama de "Parasyte"!
Neste último volume da obra de Hitoshi Iwaaki, Shinichi se verá olhando para a sua própria existência e tomando decisões sobre seu futuro; porém, ele não será o único a encarar decisões futuras que incluem novas perspectivas a respeito da existência: Migi, parasita que passou por muitas aventuras ao lado de Shinichi, também precisa escolher que rumo tomar.
Porém, quando nosso protagonista acredita que sua vida finalmente está entrando nos eixos, Uragami, o serial killer que Shinichi conheceu enquanto ambos ajudavam a polícia, está de volta... E mais cruel do que nunca.
Esse volume final de "Parasyte" foi realmente um ótimo fim, amarrando as pontas soltas, satisfazendo seus leitores e, principalmente, não caindo no marasmo, conseguindo apresentar reviravoltas até o último segundo.
Iwaaki é capaz de trazer aos amantes dessa história múltiplas emoções, fazendo com que o leitor roa as unhas em tantos momentos de tensão, mas que também se encontre com os olhos marejados ao dizer adeus à personagens tão queridos.
Mais do que tudo, o que predominará aqui será as dezenas de reflexões sobre humanidade e sociedade; assim, é fácil pensar por horas sobre a jornada percorrida nessas páginas e a amizade improvável entre Shinichi e Migi - um ser humano e um extraterrestre. Ambos aprenderam demais um com o outro, além de ensinarem para o leitor lições valiosas sobre amor e amizade.
Por fim, que maravilha foi essa trama, esses personagens, esses plot twists e esses questionamentos... "Parasyte" será uma história que, com certeza, levarei comigo por muitos e muitos anos!

It's deja vu all over again in Volume 10.
Volume 9 ended with the death of Reiko Tamura, and we start here with several textless pages of Shin and policemen in the park, exchanging meaningful and enigmatic glances. Then its time for Shin to go back to high school, and for the police to enlist the aid of psycho-killer Urokami in detecting aliens.
There is an elaborate police sting at city hall that has already taken place many volumes back. (I get these from the library, so I don't have back issues handy for fact checking.) It could be with Tokyo Pop taking over publication of the series, they have established a different timeline. And Shin wows his track coach with his parasyte-assisted running abilities, something he has already done many volumes back.
I'm ready for this whole thing to be over.

Pues sí, estuvo muy bueno, pesar de que fui perdiondole el gusto a medida que lo iba leyendo,.
Creo que este manga tiene una excelente trama y un perfecto desarrollo de los personajes. Además te habla de muchas realidades del mundo en el que vivimos. Me ha gustado mucho.

For a manga this had one of the more profound and most thought provoking endings. Fantastic series. One of my favorite. It was the perfect blend of horror/satire.
