Good to see them growing distinct

So it's been a solid year, or at least very close to it, since Migi dug inside Shinichi

That baby was either scared shitless or perfectly reassured by its superhuman mother

>>280569549
Is it possible to train a baby like this?

Be its natural predator

>>280570290
Thanks OP

>>280570135
He's letting his fist do the talking

>>280569138
This is such a cool spread, it perfectly encapsulates the alien nature of the parasite and their not-quite-perfect ability to blend in with other humans. They can adopt a believable sitting posture but because they can grow eyes in a 360 radius they don't even bother "facing" the point of interest ; which also ends up creating a great bit of foreshadowing.

>>280570124
keeping the normal human facial anatomy is an arbitrary limitation for endlessly mutable creature. He's having fun while he can

>>280569512
The pay must be real good for the nanny to keep coming back.

>>280569512
Look at how she holds that baby, god damn.

Well fuck you too, Hitoshi.

Just finished the anime a few days ago. How does it compare to the manga?

>>280570124
Because he can, I guess.

Aw.

>>280569281
Look how she's covering for our boy. I reckon the logical course of action would be to eliminate him with extreme prejudice.

>>280571567
>>280572075
How come she's so fucking smart and still can't figure out holding a baby like a bag of groceries makes you look alien?

>>280570135
autist who was forced to keep his need to vocalize onomatopoeias but still thinks about them

>>280569659
What was he thinking? Who starts a conversation like this?

>>280569806
>Top panel
Literally us

>>280572433
No emotional intelligence

>>280570290
I like how she doesn't even inquire about it. Like it doesn't cross her mind in the slightest that our boy is now superhuman

>>280570290
Love her.

>>280573255
I think that's exactly what's crossing her mind in the last panel.

>>280573145
It's not about emotional intelligence, it's just power of observation. Even if she feels nothing for her child she should know from watching humans that lugging around a baby like that is unnatural. Hell she should watch Animal Planet once in a while and realize that all animals have the instinct to care for and protect their progeny, so she should at least put up a front.

>>280573502
If you saw a mom holding her child in an unnatural manner, your first guess wouldn't be that she's a monster wearing human skin right? Keep in mind that parasites are still just a urban legend in the eye of the general public at this point. Her behavior is curious but it's not like she's actively harming her baby, so it's not enough to arouse suspicion.

>>280574512
Sure, just one instance of strange behavior isn't enough to oust herself as an alien, but apparently she keeps doing in public. If the parasites have become notorious enough to spark a worldwide urban legend about bodysnatching maneaters they should make every effort to avoid drawing attention to themselves. Out of all the known parasites she's the most concerned about integrating into human society, so it's just careless of her to act like that.

>>280575118
I think her baby is kind of her blindspot, she can integrate flawlessly otherwise with just her detached temperament since there are people who behave the same way, but having to mimick genuine affection and motherhood is a bridge she can't or won't cross.

>>280575389
>integrate flawlessly otherwise with just her detached temperament
Hardly. She's very, very odd even to people who barely know her. The waitress at the restaurant is gonna remember her regaling Shinichi with the details of her experiment for a while. Revealing her pregnancy to her colleagues went so badly for her she basically gave up on integrating into normal human society. Maybe if she was willing to read up on and accept human norms she'd be able to blend in. But she only cares about researching parasites, so an off-putting weirdo she'll stay.

>>280503241
>>280503270
whatd migi tell them to make them go away

>>280575389
>I think her baby is kind of her blindspot
I think it's her blindspot in both ways. She grows to genuinely care about it, but doesn't really know how.

>>280579167
New to these threads. Do they ever show how she acted when giving birth? Would be interesting to see.

>>280579467
No.

Love the framing in these pages. It's a cradle but it looks like she keeps the baby in a cage.

>>280573502
She probably thinks humans are dyel reactionlets who need to wrap their arms around a baby to make sure they don't drop it. The baby is perfectly fine the way she's holding it. Even if the cloth slips she's fast enough to catch it. She's not really doing anything unusual from her perspective.

Imagine how godlike Migi's finger banging game would be. Murano would probably go insane.

Semi-functional autist

>>280573502
Agreed, she clearly isn't as good at playing human as many of the others. Autistic even for a parasyte

>>280569321
I get that she wants to try having a child "for science" but I really don't understand how she expects the baby to differ from a regular human. I get the impression that the parasytes are completely cut off from the rest of the body they inhabit (with migi being an exception), so why would the baby not just be a regular human child?

>>280569101
ewww
>>280569362
they still get stimulus from the rest of the body. why wouldn't they get horny.

>>280569245
Not sure if this has already been pointed out but I just realised Goto looks like Patrick Bateman

>>280590710
they're not completely cut off. the veins and nervous system are directly linked

>>280592810
Sure but the parasyte doesn't have any control over them, even if it's attached to them. It can use the nerves to send and receive signals, but not modify their paths or functions directly.

Either way, she'd had to somehow affect the actual DNA in the egg, or actively interfered with the embryo while it was growing to achieve any physical change

>>280593462
she wasn't just looking for physical change

I totally forgot the detective though I watched the anime...too many years ago, I guess. Hope he makes it. (no, don't spoil me in any shape or form)
>>280600153
cool design. Looks like parasytes have natural talent for bio-engineering

It stands to reason that the more they grow, the more resources they take. So growing too big would put too much strain on the host and would be meaningless anyway

>>280603456
>this pic is clearly AI, look how fucked up the hand is
Yeah, it's like a godsend to shapeshifting monsters

>>280611213
True, but I think Migi fucked up even more by attacking. Migi invites more risk by trying to eliminate risk, when having Shinichi explain the situation would be safer.
Like, Shinichi and Migi almost died, and now Migi has to sleep for 4 hours a day because Migi wouldn't let Shinichi warn his parents about the parasytes.

>>280613181
It's only dangerous to attack if he fails, which there was no reason for Migi to believe he would fail to kill him. Had he know Shinichi would have prevented him from killing, he wouldn't have done it. I believe Migi even confesses as much once he fully realizes why Shinichi was ao against killing another human.

>>280569806

They all do this. ALL OF THEM. Men will tell each other they're wrong, not always, but usually. Women NEVER will. They undermine each other under the pretense of unconditional support.

>>280600253

>>280614276
Migi was clearly panicking here though. His past experiences with Shinichi should've told him that he reacts very strongly to sacrificing or killing other people for his own benefits, which is why I think he's acting kind of irrationally here.

do you think uda gets up to any wacky parasyte adventures on his own or is he just a normal wagie who happens to have a monster for a chin

I know Shinichi's emotional changes aren't supposed to be taken metaphorically, but becoming callous after traumatic events, the inability to talk about them, and having other people wonder about what's going on with you is a realistic situation, no parasites required.

>>280613181
>because Migi wouldn't let Shinichi warn his parents about the parasytes.
not really? what would knowing about the parasites have done for them? it's not like either of them got tricked by one. his mom was attacked out of nowhere in a place that was (as migi said) probably statistically safer than the city
blaming her death on fucking migi is ridiculous.

>>280638117
I think that this is one of those cases where someone said something early on in the dailies and now it keeps getting repeated
she ISN'T frumpy or homely. both as a drawing she's cute and in the story she's meant to be cute.

>>280631448
I think for the most part he's just a wagie with a monster chin.
The incident where he helped with Shinichi's mom's body was likely his only wacky parasyte adventure.

>>280638931
Frumpy doesn't mean unattractive
Her political housewife haircut and sensible dress sense are why I'm calling her such

>>280569468
The original tokyopop translation of "shut up" was funnier. Great scene anyway

>>280650670
This translation seems pretty bad.

>>280629922

Does Shinichi use his right hand to wipe his butt?

>>280616477
This is the newer translation originally by del rey and republished by kodansha so late 2000s

>>280650820
No, he's a devout muslim. Left hand only.

>>280650741
I wouldn't say it seems bad, some things feel well written and more sensible than what I remember tokyopop writing (read those editions just a few months ago as I own a full set), but I will say that people definitely give those releases a lot of flack when the translation was never that bad and only got better as the series progressed. The only consistent issue is the name changes, I.e Tamura Reiko never changing to Tamiya and being Tamara Rockford all the way through (except for vol.4 where they experimented with calling her Tamura but then revert back in the next vol) Mitsuo being Lonwell (lol) Satomi being Sara, etc. Then some names remain unchanged like Kana's which feels confused.

But overall they're very good, uncensored releases if you can get past the mirroring

>>280651359
>westernized the names and mirrored the pages

Ew, that's two hard passes for me.

>>280652417

>>280657738
Arigato

>>280658189
its a lot more actiony than the manga and the main character history repeats most of Shinichi's development, its entertaining enough for a weekend.
My favorite character was the somewhat crazy scientist lady from the anti-parasyte force that uses her captured parasited husband as a parasyte radar

also shinichi and migi make a cameo at the end

>>280658189
basically what that other anon said but her dynamic with her parasyte is different as it invades her brain, but only half, so only one of them is conscious at a time. i thought it was kinda lame at first but it got more interesting as it went on. the cgi is also pretty good, if only because they know its limitations and keep it restrained to quick, high intensity action shots where the camera doesnt linger on one thing for too long.

>>280658189
>Directed by the same guy as Train to Busan
Okay, I'm probably gonna watch it. I have not watched any Netflix garbage or movies nearly in a decade and this might be the first.

Soon?

I didn't know how to put it into words before but now I came to conclusion that after Kana's death the story becomes very kafkaesque. Her ignorance about the parasytes and the fact she didn't mind that Shinichi's is changing would lighten the mood every time she appeared. But after her part ends, there's not many things that would break the dark atmosphere and the story becomes tense almost until the end. That's why her death hits so hard.

>>280666993

picking a similar name sounds like something you do if you're attached to your original one rather than the reverse

Genuinely unhinged behavior to fill a bookshelf with 5 copies of the same book.

For all we know there are volume numbers just outside of the frame

i did not remember this moment at all

>>280688030
So many death flags

>>280687437
A man silly enough to make even an emotionless predator laugh. What a dork

>>280687358
I'm surprised he continued to follow them after nearly losing his life, and even now he won't quit? He deserves whatever he gets

>>280692839
He needs to prove to his wife that he's a man

You could just post two chapters, since, you know, this was posted late

>>280579467
I'm guessing she must have shittalked humans for having such shit reproductive organs

>>280569054 (OP)
LET'S GHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>280688030
Post another chapter mayn I don't have anything else in life anymore, only reading dailies

>>280630436
She's trying so hard

>>280633341
There have been plenty of woman moments too

Man, I dropped out of these threads when the first OP stopped posting and have spent the last 5 hours catching up. What a great story this is. As tempted as I am to keep reading on my own I'm gonna stick to the storytime

>>280695894
have you tried posting dailies

Chapter 36: The Devil's Face
Here's another one. Turns out it's simpler than it looks since you can schedule posts, but you still need to be around for captchas every minute

>>280697300
>course I am
You tell em Shinichi

This man cannot stop picking up bitches

I wonder if he has a name

>>280697621
Baby.

People are gonna start rumours

Nice fit

Shinichi is incredibly effay

What the fuck is wrong with her
Other than being a monster and shit

>>280698128
This woman amuses me

>>280697870
Thanks for the heads up.
I downloaded the needed pages to my desktop, but I was reading ahead and had a page with funniest reaction panel ever already downloaded there for later editing, which caused the error.

>>280698169
Jesus Christ Shinichi

>Move, normalfags!

>>280698267
What would happen if she read Migi

Done. Might well be the funniest chapter in the manga

>>280698329
Thanks OP
He's fucking losing it. Not just because he's being this hard of an edgelord in public, but because he came face-to-face with a real psychic and decided to scare her instead of getting some help

>>280698329
lmao, thanks !op

>>280687889
>>280687905
KWAB

>>280698292
she'd realize something's horribly wrong, freak out, then Migi would impale her face and tell Shinichi to run

>>280697989
She is forcing herself to laugh, going out of her way to piss him off. I'm sure she was testing the theories that were being discussed in class; to know if Shinichi could murder a baby just to get to her.

>>280698169
Real Devilman moment right there. The influeces were a lot clearer at the start of the manga and slowly disappeared as the story gained its own identity, but you can still find some of the roots here and there.

>>280697446
>No way fag

>>280698354
>OP
not him
>real psychic
more like cold reading, basically educated guesses paired with ambivalent phrases to string along suckers (troubled teenage boy = foid problems) which only makes it funnier

Wow.

4chanx does make storytiming trivial, especially if you have a pass

>>280698329
Thanks Not-OP
It's funny how nutty this chapter is, but the payoff for it later genuinely makes me tear up every time

>>280697446
That's a completely different kind of predator that the ones Shinichi is used to dealing with.

>>280698128
Is there actually any way to tell a high school student and a freshman apart

She was telling the truth...

>>280688296
>picking a similar name sounds like something you do if you're attached to your original one rather than the reverse
Or they just don't care, probably don't even see the problem here
The first few pages hinted it

>>280703005
University students have a perpetual look of dread, despair, and defeat on their faces while high school students still look hopeful, bright, and innocent.

>>280703005
Not perfectly, but if you spend a lot of time with both high schoolers and uni students your guesses become more accurate. She might have a younger sibling. Or perhaps just above average intuition, it seems like she was following Reiko to appear on the roof so fast.

This guy's design gives me the feeling of being modeled off a real person.

>>280697827
don't you hate it when women can sense your mommy issues?

>>280698329
I laughed out loud this caught me off guard dont remember this from the anime

>>280698329
Thank you for posting.

>>280698058
This is so good

>>280703070
First thing I thought of as well :D

>>280661675
>Spoiler
I like that they did that, it feels like it's paying respect to the source material especially since it's essentially a high-budget fanfic by a pretty well established director. Prevents the feeling of being tok far removed from its origins. Although I am also kind of curious and slightly wary of how they might handle this new plot thread if there is ever a continuation.

>>280658189
Having now seen some clips of it, I think it's a rather interesting take on the parasytes. From what I've seen the k-show gives them a lot more physicality in movement, from attacking to just getting around.

The manga and anime portray the parasytes as a lot more unnatural but humanoid, standing around stiffly as the tentacles make quick, sharp strikes portrayed as blurs. Meanwhile, the K-drama often has the actors throw their bodies into the attacks, as if they're slinging the tentacles, which makes the attacks feel slower and imprecise but a lot more powerful in comparison (visually speaking). The parasytes also move around a lot more, with them jumping, ducking and sliding around as they fight instead of standing stock still. The physicality of the attacks makes it more entertaining to watch as a live action show, which probably just comes down to a fundamental difference in the medium.

Another interesting point is that the k-drama seems to have the parasytes use their tentacles a lot more for fast locomotion as well as sprinting using the human host body, whereas in the manga and anime this is more rarely seen and the parasytes prefer a slow, stoic Terminator stalk. It's interesting because it's not difficult to imagine the former being a more realistic use of the parasytes' abilities, but it loses a bit of creepy-factor compared to the latter.

Overall I'd say the manga and anime portray the parasytes as more unnatural but human-like with an intelligent, calculating manner, while the k-drama seems to see them as more beastial and brutally violent.

>>280688010
Should have followed the trend established by Migi and named him Ago.

>>280697202
>>280697235
That was so sudden I had to go back to check the chapter numbers because I was ready to call you a dummy for skipping a chapter.

>>280710994
Glad I'm not the only one.

These are the things that lead to a day drinking abrasive husband

>>280703005
Shinichi is 16, he isn't a third year ready to graduate

>>280696147
Satomi sticking with Shinichi despite the way he's been behaving is a woman moment. We happen to see things from his perspective so it's not as obvious.

>>280687302
Ago then. Like the teacher in Akira that beats the kids. Ago and Migi.

>>280687437
Poor guy.

>>280687509
Unnerving. I guess its good that it's having fun.

>>280687608
Uh-oh..

>>280687846
bruh

>>280688204
I thought of Ajin.

>>280688030
I riked it, thanks. Looks like he won't last long.

>>280697370
She probably finds this relevatory. Such an interesting arc.

>>280698329
Thanks.

i was done with high school by the time i turned 17

>>280712618
Now that you say it so was I

>>280697503
Great page. After some pages of nice daily life at uni we're suddenly reminded that this is actually a horror thriller

>>280712618
>>280712633
In Japan, like in many other countries (most?), high school is between the ages of 15 and 18. In my country some turn 19 before graduating, if they're born early in the year

>>280713000
Depending on what age you start at and whether you do one option year you're typical somewhere in the 17-19 range, but I knew two guys who were 16
So there were times I was 15 with 18 year old classmates

See you next parasite.
