It was pretty good, but still not the best manga.

A nice compilation of Parasyte inspired shorts. They vary from fun to gory. Nice addition for fabs of the Parasyte series.

All of these stories are great to read (except the second one which was a cringe fest). I've never read Parasyte but I've been meaning to,  and this really gets me hyped.

3.0

In some ways this was a nice celebration of Parasyte, with some very nice callbacks to the original series (a story about Shinichi's father, a short interlude of Reiko's child & Shinichi talking, a 'what if' story if a fujoshi had been the real cause of the school massacre) as well as some other intriguing parasites inhabiting their hosts only partially.

Some were just....eh tho, or felt too rushed. Surprisingly while I liked the idea of Kaori Yuki's story (case 5), the execution felt messy. Mikimaki's story (Case 11) was weeiiirrrddd. it's one of the fetish stories that are uniquely Japanese (in that, you wouldn't see a Western mainatream comic randomly explore it).

Overall it was fun to go back into the universe with some manga-ka to investigate further. Definitely something only fans will enjoy - if you pick this up before reading the original series you'll be rather lost as it barely covers the basics of the world.
