Relatively short, as manga series go, and still overly long.

The Good:
-There's some real body horror and The Thing-like tension.
-The gore is drawn really well.
-The artists definitely achieve alien designs in the parasytes
-The message about humankind's treatment of the planet is just as, if not more, relevant as its ever been.
-The scenes with the x-rays were awesome!

The Bad:
-The side plot with the human serial killer didn't seem to contribute much, and I wish it had been cut to give more screen time to the other characters. The ending scene on the roof could have been done just as well with a parasyte, perhaps better.
-I never really buy the romance between the main characters. I hate/love to say it, but he's got more chemistry with his own right hand than his girlfriend.
-I feel like there's a lot lost in translation. There's some really unclear or clunky dialogue that can make plot points or motivations tricky to follow.

This tied up the series nicely.

As a whole, the series is a great read and I would recommend it to anyone, those who are familiar with manga and those who aren't. ( )
