finally finished reading kiseiju 寄生兽 which i think is the best comic i've ever read. its bout some parasites infesting human brains and havin to feed on other humans for food. the 1 living on shinichi izumi is called migi n it infected his right hand so both retained their own intellect. unlike the other parasites, migi is feeds on the food shinichi eats and has no need to eat humans. both need each other to survive and thus began their war against those who's fully infested by the parasites.
this comic chilled me to my bones with its gore, the way humans were massacred. at the same time, the friendship shared between shinichi and migi and the love share between shinichi with his family and his girlfriend satomi murano touched me deeply. how he cried when his mum was infested and he had to kill her himself to stop her from eating humans, how he cried when he tot migi and satomi were dead and how badly he wanted to protect his dad, his last kin from the parasites. deeply touched. and the way the parasites proved their existence by trying to exterminate the human race to protect the earth from the harm human's actions caused to it and how the last parasite fought to the very end inspired me quite alot. the way the story begins with these lines: "Someone on Earth just happened to think, 'If the human population was halved, how much forest would not be burnt down....?'" "Someone on Earth just happened to think, 'If the human population was reduced 99%, would the amount of toxic waste be reduced 99%....?'" felt tt the authour brought up a very good point of humans destroying mother earth with pollution, physically and mentally. makes me feel that the human race is more of a parasite and the parasites are more like vaccines to clear the world of the actual parasites. makes me wonder, what an ugly world i live in
