Panic and carnage, as the school corridors flood with blood. Yuko has exposed Hideo as a parasite, and the resulting rampage has left classmates and teachers dead, and police swarming everywhere. The only upsides are Yuko’s quick reflexes, which allow her to survive, and the luck and strategy that help Shinichi and Migi notch another kill. Yet, Shinichi can’t help but think about the worries that Satomi expressed before this latest nightmare began. Is he forcing himself to change too quickly? Or, even worse…could she or someone else be onto him?

Change is the only sure thing. Shinichi has recovered from near death, but at the cost of more of his original, human body, which Migi had to replace. The two have also learned that they can work together, destroying the parasite that killed Shinichi’s mother. But so much remains unknown. What are the limitations of Migi and Shinichi’s shared body? Why can the fully-human girl Kana detect Shinichi’s presence, as a prey animal detects a predator? And finally, most importantly, what is the ultimate goal of the cunning and ruthless parasite Ryoko?

Shinichi has survived, not just high school (so far), but being invaded by an intelligent and deadly parasite. Instead of taking over his entire body, the creature stopped at Shinichi’s right arm. Thus, he’s nicknamed it Migi (“Righty”), and now they are dependent on each other. Shinichi has family, and he has Satomi, a best friend who looks at him with longing… But in a world where humans can’t possibly understand, and successful parasites fully control their hosts and hunger for human flesh, what place is there for a being that is half and both at the same time?

Teenager Shinichi wakes up one night to discover a creature crawling under the skin of his right arm. This is a Parasite, a creature that takes control of a person’s body and turns it into a shapeshifting monstrosity hungry for human flesh. Shinichi has managed to stop his parasite with a tourniquet, and as a result, it takes over only his arm, leaving two consciousnesses sharing one body and dependent on each other to survive. As parasites take control of more and more people, rumors spread of brutal murders committed by terrible abominations—heads splitting open to reveal mouths of sharp teeth, batlike wings erupting from backs, blades tearing through soft bellies. Only Shinichi knows for sure that these rumors are all true. But can he find a way to live without destroying everyone he cares about, much less save the rest of humanity?
