Kodansha announced plans to bring Hitoshi Iwaaki’s Parasyte manga back to print in a new way. Following the previous release of color versions, new editions are planned that include Iwaaki’s original black and white art, as well as an updated translation, new covers and new interior design.

The full original series will be collected in eight volumes starting this fall. The updated translation, lettering and size mirror that of the Parasyte Full Color Collection.

The Parasyte manga ran from 1989 to 1994, and inspired a pair of live-action films, Madhouse’s 2014 Parasyte -the maxim- anime and director Yeon Sang-ho’s live-action Parasyte: The Grey series. 

Synopsis:

In the world of Parasyte: Teenager Shinichi wakes up one night to discover a creature crawling under the skin of his right arm. This is a Parasite, a creature that takes control of a person’s body and turns it into a shapeshifting monstrosity hungry for human flesh.

Shinichi has managed to stop his parasite with a tourniquet, and as a result, it takes over only his arm, leaving two consciousnesses sharing one body and dependent on each other to survive. As parasites take control of more and more people, rumors spread of brutal murders committed by terrible abominations—heads splitting open to reveal mouths of sharp teeth, batlike wings erupting from backs, blades tearing through soft bellies. Only Shinichi knows for sure that these rumors are all true. But can he find a way to live without destroying everyone he cares about, much less save the rest of humanity?
