Parasyte -the maxim- (寄生獣 セイの格率)

Someone on Earth had a sudden thought.

HITOSHI IWAAKI

METAMORPHOSIS

How unfortunate.

I failed.

How unfortunate.

What's unfortunate?

Shut up!

I guess I was dreaming.

I feel like I didn't sleep too well.

Did you find the "snake"?

It feels kind of numb.

Because you tied your earphone cord around it while half-asleep.

Sorry. I'll just have some toast.

No, you need to have a proper breakfast.

I was really shook up last night.

That's my line.

Hot!

It's just a spider.

When are you going to get over that fear of bugs, Shinichi?

The Japanese government

has proposed three reform measures to address

- the ongoing global economic crisis... -The Japanese government has proposed...

-Dad? Where's Mom? I'm hungry. - ...at the OECD Ministerial Council Meeting.

-However, the Chinese government has... -Dad? Where's Mom?

- ...lashed out against the proposal. -I'm hungry.

It is expected to take some time before a resolution is reached.

Next up in the news...

-Gotcha! -Huh?

Murano?

That was so fake.

What was?

You knew I was coming up behind you, didn't you?

No. No way!

Huh?

Huh?

Whoa!

This is just a misunderstanding!

I mean...

You idiot!

Why did you do that?

Tachikawa.

I have no idea.

I really don't.

Is something wrong with your right hand?

Oh. No.

It's nothing.

A snake!

Ow!

It burrowed into my hand?

It's climbing up my arm?

What's wrong, Shinichi?

Help!

What are you doing?

Why did you tie up your arm?

A snake! A snake's in my arm!

What?

A snake?

Wow.

You take being half-asleep to a new level.

I'm serious!

It made a hole in my hand and burrowed in!

Yeah?

So where's this hole, huh?

Look! It's right...

Huh?

Shinichi, you'd better not be on drugs.

Of course I'm not!

Oh, really now, dear.

Weird.

It doesn't hurt or anything.

I wonder if that weird creature is actually inside my hand.

Izumi-kun!

Playing games during class?

Whatever you were up to,

you know smartphone use isn't allowed during class.

But I had it turned off and...

Oh?

Sorry.

Oh, Murano. About this morning.

Man, she's pretty mad.

Okay, fine.

Out of kindness to an old friend,

I'll go apologize for you.

Really? Thanks a lot.

But what about you? Are you okay?

You've been acting strange all day.

Yeah.

I feel a little off.

I'll talk to the teacher and ask to go home early.

I wonder if it's possible for your hand to move on its own.

But if this has anything to do with that weird creature I saw last night.

Misaki!

Misaki.

Thank goodness.

DATING 12 WOMEN! POPULAR ATHLETE IN SHOCKING SEX SCANDAL!

Shinichi?

He's home early.

Are you even my own right hand?

I'm going to test you.

You'd better not dodge.

How unfortunate.

What?

I right hand fail.

Fail?

What about my right hand?

I ate it.

Not talk good yet.

Teach me, Shinichi.

What are you?

Tired.

-Sleep. -Huh?

Hang on a second!

I have tons of questions I want to ask you! Hey!

Hey, come on!

Shinichi? Is something wrong?

Shinichi, did you hear me?

Don't come in!

Nothing's wrong.

TALKING RIGHT HAND

TALKING RIGHT HAND WEIRD SNAKE

BURROW INTO HUMAN

There's nothing that seems relevant.

So I guess no one else has had this problem.

Shinichi, dinner's ready!

I got a call from the school.

They said you left early.

Did something happen?

Not really.

I just didn't feel well.

-Are you okay? -Yeah.

Oh, you're having seconds?

That's unusual.

So you don't feel well, but you do have an appetite?

I feel better now.

Does it matter?

I can't tell Mom or Dad about my right hand.

I love you, love you, love you lots!

Wall slam!

Oops. I had a bit too much.

Drank too much.

Nakamura-san, your laundry.

No. I can't tell anyone about this.

Even if I went to the cops, they'd just think I'm crazy.

If they ran tests at a hospital,

there would be a huge uproar.

What should I do?

Hey, wake up already.

It's morning?

It's morning.

It's finally morning and still...

I'm stuck in a nightmare.
