Parasyte Full Color Collection 1

The original Japanese version was created almost 30 years ago. Parasyte seems to come from the creator’s thinking that humanity must have judged something amiss. The creator might well be telling people that if we do not start fixing things, we might end up having to face something similar to a story described in Parasyte.

現実世界の描写の中に非現実的な事が次々と起こり、読んでいて飽きるどころか続きが読みたくてたまらなくなります。 また、同じ英単語が何度か登場するので反復学習になり自然と英語が身につきます。

個人的にデルレイからの出版を希望していた作品のNo.1が、この『寄生獣』。英訳版は過去にもあったものの、訳が今一つだった上、（当時としてはやむを得なかったのだろうが）左右反転のためミギーが左手に寄生しているわ、登場人物の名前が違っているわ（新一が「Shin」、ミギーが「Lefty」なのは譲るとしても、田村玲子の「タマラ＝ロックフォード」はないんでないかい？）で、結局買う気になれなかった。その点本書は、米国人に分かりにくい部分も内容を安易に変えたりせず、意訳した部分についても巻末の「translation notes」で改めて解説するなど、単なるスプラッタなホラーではなく、「名作」として原作の内容を正確に伝えようとする意欲が感じられる。値段も、ワイド版1冊相当のボリュームを考えればかなりお得。全体としての評価は今後を待たねばならないだろうが、少なくとも、十分に期待感を抱かせてはくれた。ただ、ところどころに誤訳が見られるのが残念。

訳については申し分ないです。 ストーリーを逸脱してない簡潔な役にまとまっていると思います。 ただ、字のフォントがとても小さいです。 ルビが全然余っているにもかかわらず何故がフォントが小さく見づらいです。 全然会話が多いデスノートは比較的大きめの字で見やすかったんですが何なんですかねこの差は。 微妙なところに手が届いてないのが残念です。

Awesomely drawn and very good story and writing

The writing was a bit Fadded on a page but a good book

Been getting into manga lately and this collection is a must buy if you like sci-fi mix with horror. I came from watching the Anime and my friend told me he remember reading it as a kid when Tokoypop had the rights back than so I was very curious about this manga and I'm glad I picked it up. I love the art style in this one compared to the anime, it feels very early '90s and you'll be feel nostalgic reading this if you were born around that era because the art style feels nostalgic for some reason but I like it. The paper quality is very high quality and it's not see through when turning to the next page, the colors make the mange very comforting to read with their type of coloring they use which is water paint mix with pencil coloring. Also for the people that reviewed this and said the books are backwards well that's not true because in Japan that's how they read books so mirroring the images will make them look weird and funny if we read them how we read books.

I recently picked up Parasyte vol.1, and I was completely hooked from the first chapter! The story follows Shinichi Izumi, a regular high school student whose life takes a terrifying turn when a mysterious parasite fails to take over his brain and instead merges with his right hand. This setup creates an intense, thought-provoking, and sometimes horrifying journey that balances action, suspense, and deep philosophical themes. The artwork by Hitoshi Iwaaki is simple yet effective, perfectly capturing the eerie and grotesque nature of the parasites. The character development is already promising, and the interactions between Shinichi and his parasite, Migi, are both unsettling and oddly humorous at times. The quality of the physical volume is excellent—the pages are crisp, the print is clear, and the binding feels sturdy. If you're a fan of psychological horror, sci-fi, or classic seinen manga, Parasyte is a must-read. I can't wait to dive into the next volume! Highly recommended for fans of Tokyo Ghoul, Berserk, or Attack on Titan!

Super duper good
