SILENT INVASION
They arrive in silence and darkness. They descend from the skies. They have a hunger for human flesh. They are everywhere. They are parasites, alien creatures who must invade - and take control of - a human host to survive. And once they have infected their victims, they can assume any deadly form they choose: monsters with giant teeth, winged demons, creatures with blades for hands. But most have chosen to conceal their lethal purpose behind ordinary human faces. So no one knows their secret - except an ordinary high school student. Shin is battling for control of his own body against an alien parasite, but can he find a way to warn humanity of the horrors to come?

This was truly enjoyable. Not only the story but also the history behind manga and Japanese culture were deeply appreciated by a relative newbie to the genre. I didn't expect the parasyte to be so humorous and sentient. I look forward to the other books in the series.

I think it is even a bit funnier than the anime. Gonna have to watch it for the third time. The art is also a good bit different but that's okay!
