Neo Parasyte f

The stories here are creative and easily work within the Parasyte universe, and some of it is humorous. The artwork in this manga will make you wish the original series can continue. There is one complaint, and it has to do with the typesetting. I've found that on just a few pages, the text goes beyond the speech bubbles, and instead of the words flowing outside of the bubbles, they are cropped off. Overall, the problem doesn't take too much away from the comprehension of these short stories, but it is something that needs to be addressed if they have a second print run.

he enjoyed it so happy kid.

I am the target reader for this collection. I read Parasyte "back-in-the-day" and watched the anime as it came out. In fact, last year I presented on the use of the uncanny in Parasyte (at a pop-culture conference). Do I love this manga/anime? Unbelievably so. Basically, the list goes like this ... best anime/manga: Death Note, Parasyte, Fullmetal Alchemist, One Punch Man, Naruto, One Piece, etc. Parasyte ranks second and I cannot envision that position being usurped (especially after all of this time). This is just to say that not only do I love Parasyte but it has even figured into my academic research (I am a professor of film/media studies/literature).This collection is perplexing, at best. What I do like is that this is a true homage to a phenomenal work of art. Each contributor closely adheres to the spirit of the original work (both in storytelling and artistry). And, I do like that each artist has the little blurb at the end of his/her contribution to explain how Parasyte influenced them (or why they love it so much). In many cases, their thoughts were mine (one found joy in the odd, loving relationship between Shinichi and Migi ... as do I). Each of these notes helped me realize that these contributors are genuine fans and made me more amenable to the overall work. And, yes, there are some "edgy" pieces that are (obviously) not appropriate for children (like the one that focuses on "bloomers"). But, it needs to be underscored that this, too, is in keeping with the series since Migi simply wants to understand all aspects of humanity (even the aspects we might consider aberrant or "perverted"). So, do know, the original series is rated at as "mature" or TV-M. And this volume remains within that realm (which is most welcome by fans, I assure you).Now, I do enjoy the smattering of entries that focus on Migi and/or Shinichi. However, some of these required a bit more polish. "Case 6: Parasyte Found" nearly felt like it was missing a few critical panels. The concept is humorous and smart: how to keep a host body healthy. The execution lacked clarity and flow. So, these type of "half-baked" entries were both equal parts elating and disappointing. Ditto for "Case 4: Always with You." As a lifelong vegetarian, even I found this offering heavy-handed (it, essentially, highlights how a meat-eating host body would have a shortened lifespan ... and how "fatty" and foul smelling those hosts are).Finally, there were a few entries where the enthusiasm for Parasyte is clear, but the artistry is a chaotic wreck. "Case 3: The Royal Prince" is nearly unreadable. The artistry undermines the piece and the narrative simply cannot rescue it.Overall, true fans of the show might enjoy this form of fan-fiction. However, true fans might also demand slightly more. There is no doubt that an appreciation for the original work exists (and that means a great deal), but the collection's editor may have benefited by being slightly more demanding of the contributors.

Let me begin by saying that I came to this anthology by way of my love for darker manga, not because I was a fan of "Parasyte" specifically. This is a collection of short stories from 15 well-known manga artists, each of them working within the "Parasyte" science fiction, horror universe created by Hitoshi Iwaaki which ran from 1988 to 1995. Each artist's information is given at the end of the story with a list of a few of their series and a statement about how they felt being invited to this anthology and about the story they created for it. Most are very self-effacing in their brief statements, all are fans of "Parasyte."The stories are primarily creepy but few are outright horror, many romantic or comedic undertones. You can see small differences in the style of the drawing though to the reader unfamiliar with manga it may all look the same. Male and female lead characters seemed evenly represented and equally believable or not. Some of the stories looked at new characters while others played with original characters in new ways. Only one of the stories was disappointing and I won't embarrass the artist by singling them out.It satisfied my darker manga interests without being overly sexual or belittling in any way toward any type of character. There some playful teasing about some of the genres however but I'm used to that in darker manga.

First, I want to throw out there that I am a fan of parasite, and the first story here sold me on wanting to procure this. This sold the idea that the book would have ideas that connected on at least an infected-type basis, and I thought that would be a good read. Also, the art style in the first story is good, and while the concept of it is not complex in any way, it delivered well enough. Sadly, that piece was one that gave a somewhat misleading feel about how the rest of the book would play out.Personally, I have to admit that a few stories were lackluster enough that I thought of stopping on them. The second, for example, was terribly constructed, the art style did not lend itself to the overall theme, and it detailed an issue that you have when you invite random people to work on an established theme without oversight. I mean, some of the authors apologize for their terrible entries into the series, and they note that they took a road they knew/that they were afraid of the property. Thankfully, I stayed with this, and I have to say that maybe 1/4th of the selections here were enjoyable reads. The rest, well, they were either a miss or a really miss, and with stories like the second one having the concept thrown in as an afterthought.With scoring here, I liked it enough not to want to give it a 3, but not enough to give it a solid 4. It felt somewhere in the middle, with maybe a 3.5. It works for people that want to add to the property, and I would say that die hard fans not expecting much of your actual story but of some additions might like this. It is a hard one to recommend, however.

Different authors draw and take inspiration from the creator of the legendary manga Parasyte. This manga has many different stories. I would recommend this story compilation to anyone who likes Parasyte and other author's stories. 5 stars from me. Great value.

Es una buena lectura alterna al manga que poco o nada, dependiendo de la historia, se relaciona con el manga noventero de Hitoshi Iwaaki. Hay mejores historias que otras, una más divertidas, otras más dramáticas. Cómo lectura no se necesita haber leído el manga original, sólo se necesita conocer básicamente la premisa y a los dos personajes principales.La razón del título de "F", viene de que las historias fueron publicadas en revistas Shoujo/Jousei y no que fueran exclusivamente por mujeres, aunque escribieron puras mujeres.

Grande qualità anche di questa edizione inglese anche se acquistate per sbaglio 😂😂 pensando che fosse l edizione italiana
