I keep forgetting to mention this, but part of my renewed interest in the series is that there is the live action movies coming out (at the end of this year and in the beginning of next year). Much like the Mirai Nikki live action show I'm hopeful that it remains as true to the source material as possible. Kimi ni Todoke, Koizora and to a certain extent the Gantz movies proved it could be done.

We get in this new volume a return of Kana, Murano's uneasiness, a new alien who wants to be "friends" (hahahaha) and lots of lovely death.

I'll give Shinichi credit, since Migi helped to heal his heart he's gotten quite a bit smarter in some ways. In others not so much, but he's gotten more tactically smart. Poor Migi though, the evolution of a failed Parasyte is not an easy one.

Tamiya, from the first volume, re-appears (away from Shinichi) and I'd swear she has some sort of weird epiphany once the baby is born, but I could be wrong.

Oh and I forgot, this manga definitely paved the way for me to love and enjoy [b:Claymore, Vol. 01: Silver-eyed Slayer|777423|Claymore, Vol. 01 Silver-eyed Slayer (Claymore, #1)|Norihiro Yagi|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1353190521s/777423.jpg|763452] (which also deals with monsters taking human form to eat other humans).

I kind of want Kana to fall off a cliff? She's got weird dreams about Shinichi, weird premonitions and is kind of courting death with a smile on her face. Isn't that weird?

Meanwhile the Parasyte's existence is made public and much like anything else humanity (or at least Japan's people) treat it with little reverence for the danger inherent. I blame the government and media in this case though--"Pull a hair! It can prove if this person is an alien!" IDIOTS. Don't you think the Parasytes, aside from now KNOWING YOUR PLAN TO EXPOSE THEM, wouldn't want to be exposed? Honestly I think people are safer NOT knowing how to tell them apart since it will make them more uncertain and less likely to run off with a stranger. Probably. ( )

Moving away from body horror and into The Boys superhero territory. ( )

Not as strong as the first 2 volumes. Yet another parasyte joins the school and bloody chaos inevitably ensues. We see the hint of the authorities realizing the extent of the problem, but you'd think people would notice two serious incidents in the same school in the same year? Still, I was thoroughly entertained and look forward to the next volume. ( )
