The other guy appears to have died, so I'm filling in for a bit
I can't promise that I'll be punctual or consistent, but I'll do my best

Rest in peace mother

Best bro who for all intents and purposes completely disappears after this in the anime lol

I missed a page before this whoops, will post after

>>280068473 (OP)
Glad to see this daily return, even if it's not the original OP this time around.
>>280069423
If I recall, he only shows up a couple more times in the manga too. I really liked him.

Last page, next page is the one I missed

>>280069423

man this is sad

>>280068746
>that look of hurt at his own 'mother' being shocked he's alive
This guy's a master at expression

>>280069240
Fucking amazing
I was expecting the parasite to morph back into his mother's face to make him falter, but showing 'humanity' in that form is so much more intense somehow

>>280069605
Last chance to fuck her man

>>280069634
What a player
A woman in every town

>>280069771
Good dad

>>280068473 (OP)
>The other guy appears to have died
The parasyte got him.

>>280069803
Thanks OP, and thanks for picking this up

Really glad we're back
Thank you OP

>>280069803
>>280069819
Thanks OP, you're a real hero.

>>280068473 (OP)
I was really excited to see that he lived.
He didn't, but I'm still happy that this storytime is back.

>>280068473 (OP)
Good.

>>280068473 (OP)
>Parasyte anon (prev) was replaced by parasyte
No.....

>>280070403
>morph back into his mother's face to make him falter
They wouldn't do this since they couldn't understand the reason behind this

>>280069634
He probably come again later with her girdfriend

>>280069803
Thanks, OP. I'm glad to have this back.

>>280068563
las plagas from re4 are a parasyte reference, yeah?

>>280077389
It definitely is

>>280069819
I don't know why, but her reaction here is funny to me.
Like she's in disbelief over the BS of her heart attack failing twice.

>>280076439
Exactly. It was a clever way to have him falter at the idea of attacking his mother without changing the parasyte's "personality".

>>280069803
Thanks for the dump!

>>280068746
>Do you have to imitate her voice, too?
I didn't even think of that. Fuck, man.

>>280069634
>No way, fag.

>>280068473 (OP)
RIP other guy

>>280079550
So it goes.

>>280068746
brutal

>>280069803
aww
Thanks. Something was missing from the board.

>>280069803
Thank you OP.

>>280069803
Thank you for posting.

>>280070403
it kinda adds to the fact that parasites are just "normal" animals with survival instincts. it also shows that he still has some human heart left

>>280068473 (OP)
Ganbatte, successor-kun

>>280085802
I believe in him.

>>280069803
Thank you so much. So happy to have company once more.

>>280070403
he still got a full frontal of the burn scar

>>280069803
eepy boy

Doko

Koko?

>>280087918
Get out of here, Yzilma. Don't you have a manga to dump?

>>280068473 (OP)
i miss this

Chapter 17: Transformation

Anime Shinichi is here

>>280097685
Chad.

>the face like a girl

Another anime change, this fight was a lot more serious

>>280098365
Shinichi acting like a real pro

Huh, I never noticed the eye thing
I went through the chapter and looked at Shinichi's eyes and there was like one big panel where there was a change as far as I could tell

>>280098829
Thank you OP!

I wonder if the /pol/ talk inspired the mayor storyline

Some translation notes at the end of the volume you'd have to go back to the previous dumps for
Next is Vol 3

>>280097581
Schnice

>>280097649
Stumpy legs

>>280097685
That's all it takes

>>280098158
Mogged

>>280098704
Damn

>>280098829
I like Murano, but Sukeban-chan isn't bad either

>>280099078
Goddamn, he doesn't hold back

>>280099186
Thanks OP

>>280098158
god i wish shonen had more chad protagonists like this

I love the artstyle, it's pleasantly cartoony but still realistic compared to stuff nowadays. Most mangaka draw uniforms to be super formfitting, here you can tell they're made of a bulky material.

>>280098477
Izumi is cracking me up, "what an asshole" is an amazing reaction

>>280098327
Shinichi's bored reaction as he's about to get punched is just too great. This is the face of a man who does not give a single shit and would be doing anything else right now.

>>280099186
Thanks NuAnon, I missed this one.

>>280099662
Parasyte isn't a shonen

>>280100374
Yeah, I agree with that.

>>280101332
yes, i know, i still wish to have a shonen with chad protagonists, i'm not always in the mood for seinens

>>280099186
so this explains the kiseiju line, still awkward af

>>280098829
Thanks OP. I felt like strangely sympathetic for Mitsuo despite what an asshole he is. Having your girl dump you for another man, then getting your ass handed to you by that man is pretty tough. His friends didn't even have his back

>>280097685
my hero

>>280098158
I love it when copy-pasting is used to good effect

>>280098617

>>280094971
I love Parayste so much, it’s the only piece of media that has ever made me cry other than one movie.

I remember this manga man... I was just a teen when I read it but that shit made me feel feelings, it was incredibly cool
The anime was sick as hell to watch later when it came out too

>>280106133
Impressive.

>>280098193
Not only does he have a gangster haircut now, he's also talking like one. Gramps was right I tell ya.

>>280097884
>Hook pussy with his only strength
>Suddenly it doesn't work anymore
I would be panic too

>>280098158
kek

>>280100374
The way he draws girls' noses is oddly erotic.

>>280098193

I really like the manga Shinichi. He wasn't a crybaby pushover even before being revived but I have to admit his character in the anime worked really fucking well with the contrast between how he started and at the end of the first season. The show had a lot of good changes including Kana.

>>280111926
The anime was a lot more consistent in the tone and how they treated him before/after migi heart, manga Shinichi had more of a mix of goofy/chad moments before and right now
Personally I think the contrast makes for a stronger story, but manga Shinichi is a cooler protag and also more handsomely drawn overall

>>280113214
The duality of the mediums.

>>280098829
Thank u.

>>280109450
Too relatable.

>>280106133
Which movie?

>>280118296
Where the Wild Things Are when I was younger.

>>280097956
Those highschoolers are w i d e boys

>>280098704
I can't tell if the art is weird in that shot of her feet or if it's just because I can't stop trying to see it as a continuation of the panel of Shinichi above.

>>280119739
Face like a girl.

>>280119620

>>280121959
kek

>>280122239
Thank you for sparing us of wide Migi

>>280098513
Would Fable be able to kill a parasyte?

>>280123627
Probably, he would definitely sniff out that something is wrong with them since he's got that near-supernatural perception thing going on

>>280123627
regular parasytes in a head on fight maybe, against the more intelligent ones like reiko he'd probably lose, and no chance vs mayor in a head on fight, he'd be able to assassinate most parasytes since hed probably be able to sense their inhumanity like the serial killer

>>280123627
He probably could take one on if he knew about them beforehand. Otherwise he'd just run away once he realises he's dealing with something out of this world. Either way he isn't dying to one.

>>280122239
Nice.

Vol 3 starts here

Chapter 18: Human

>>280128833
Rad cover.

>soulless eyes

I think this scene and the fight last chapter was when the anime first started bringing up Izumi changing, the manga brought this plotline up earlier

>soulless eyes

Reading bump.

Last panel is the eyes of a human for sure at least

>>280128833
Picasso-esque.

>>280129319
He's right, you know.

>>280129638
If he was there'd be no need for funeral customs

>>280129319
>>280129475
Iwaaki is such a good artist.
Shinichi's eyes don't objectively look any different, light is reflecting the exact same way, but I can somehow "feel" the coldness in one page compared to the other.

End of dump

>>280129319
>it's just meat
I wonder if this scene was what inspired fuji to eat his goldfish kek

>>280128833
Cool

>>280098289
>>280098260
Actually if we didn't know it's Shinichi, he's mannerism does look like a classic NTRer here

>>280128902
Insane art

>>280128955
>and my hairline

>>280129004
Imagine listening to a cute girl's ovaries churning

>>280129149
Inhuman confidence
Scary guy

>>280129319
Shinichi...

>>280129375
>>280129406
>agreeing with the parasite
No Longer Human

>>280129456
He manages to look vaguely evil even doing something nice

>>280129500
So did he give a shit at all or was it just so Murano would like him

>>280129120
:(

>>280129732
Those two mobs think they've warped into a delinquent manga

>>280129818
Thanks OP

Right, so this thread got me back into manga.
Done Parasyte
Gantz until it got shit
Inuyashiki
Tokyo Ghoul until it got shit
Heavenly Delusion which is mid but whatever
Eden: It's an Endless World until it went off the rails
Doing 7 Seeds now
I'm running out of ideas for action, gore, serious tone, maybe post-apocalypse types manga. Manga kinda like Parasyte, basically. Any recs?

>>280129375
>>280129406
>>280129436
>>280129456
Humans aren't the only animals who mourn the dead, but I know what Iwaaki's trying to do here and he did a outstanding job. In 4 pages and without excessive dialogue, he's able to portray how appreciating the dead is not driven by reason, but driven an emotion that we generally share and hold dear.

>>280131509
He's doing it more out of a desire to perform humanity than out of real emotion towards the dog. It's kinda like when he told the delinquents off before. He didn't care that much about the guy getting beat up, what he wanted was to prove that he was human.

>>280131662
Akira. Though it's a world that's already rebuilt after nuclear war and there's no wasteland. Unlike Parasyte, Otomo didn't present much for discussion, but it's one hell of a spectacle

Or Fire Punch. It doesn't measure up to Parasyte but you get to the know the two memes that came from it

>>280131704
funerals are for the living, really.
i do like how elephants seem to have cultural customs regarding the dead, like covering their body with leaves. it's such a fascinating concept

>>280131662
The first post-apocalyptic ones i enjoyed that came to my mind are these. Jigoku no Alice, The Legend of Mother Sarah, BIBLIOMANIA, I Am Hero, Fire Punch, Devilman, Blame!, Land of the Lustrous.
You should still read the end of Its an Endless World, its pure fucking kino.

>>280129818
Thank you OP! Shimada is a creepy-looking fucker.

>>280131888
Is the fake trying to be real worth anything?

>>280133670
Some would say they're worth more

>>280128977
Imagine a world before the Web, where you had to be a bitter asshole on a random bench all alone instead of subjecting everyone else on a forum to your rants.

>>280129577
>Shinichi's smile when thinking of Uda-san
Happiest I've seen him all chapter

>>280129756
great punch

>>280129818
Thank you for posting.

>>280131509
He obviously cared enough about the dog before it died to stay with it until it did.
But I think he stopped caring after the dog died, and it took Murano's disgust and Migi's affirmation to realize that his behavior wasn't okay.
He hasn't lost his emotions, but he may have lost a fragment of humanity. And burying the dog was to prove to himself that he still has it.
It's the same as the fight before, where most humans would have just run away, but Shinichi kept fighting at his own expense because ONLY a human would do that.

>>280129604
This sort of interaction indicates that Shinichi isn't necessarily becoming less human, he's just switched gears to hypervigilance due to accumulated combat and traumatic stress. Migi is still the cool rational one, and rather than losing his emotions Shinichi has started to adapt a more merciless outlook as a coping mechanism.

>>280129743
It’s the brows.

>>280130112
