What is Parasite manga?

Parasites are life forms that feed off other beings in some way. In anime, they are often aliens and usually intelligent. For shock value, and to avoid having to draw aliens all the time, their prey is preferably human; they may see humans as food, as puppets for mind control, or simply as temporary body hosts. In every case, the human is the victim of a "merging", which is not to be confused with the more "amicable" symbiosis.

(Parasyte)

8.24

Description:

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? (Source: Del Rey)

This world has been invaded by bugs. With the appearance of the "Armored Bugs," mutating insect monsters that can overcome all modern weapons, humanity has been robbed of much of its living space. The only ones who can stand against such adversaries are the "Noble Butterflies," girls who harbor "Insects" that have gone through evolutions differing from the armored bugs. One of the candidates to become a Noble Butterfly, Odamaki Ayumi, still suffers from the fact that she is unable to become one. Her best friend, who was supposed to be with her and was her object of admiration, has left her and no longer seeks her company. Those days of despair came to an end when she was on the verge of death in a battle with armored bugs. "Don't think that I... will die without doing anything!" With the end near, the girl's body transformed into a butterfly one. And the flapping of her wings will bring about a revolution in the world...!
