Through Yura's Gate (Moto Hagio)

Last thread: >>281346531
Sorry for the delay.

I wonder if any regular will show up for these.

終

I didn't think Shinichi would show up in this chapter.

>>281472858 (OP)
Glad you didn't abandon us

>>281473077
Was the gender of Reiko's kid ever revealed? Just realised it might've been kept ambiguous when I assumed it was a boy.

>>281473515
What an asshole

>>281473853
>>281473866
These kids are brutal

>>281473912
Shinichi looks really weird in this style, can't say it's really my thing

>>281472885
Feels weird to see Lucy with a parasyte

>>281474150
Thank you. Will you be dumping the rest once per day again, or all at one go? If the former, at the same time as before?

QRD on her works?

>>281474066
Nice thematic tie-in

>>281473098
Men do be doing this shit to their descendants

>>281473426
I dun get it

>>281473912
Holy shit

The female mind is so incomprehensible

>>281473912
Wasn't the baby a boy?

>>281475648
Shinichi calls the baby a he one time in the official translation, but both Hagio and that one doujin artist made the baby a girl. Maybe there was a subtle implication that only the Japanese picked up, or Iwaaki clarified it somewhere outside the manga?

>>281474086
Shinichi's eye in the bottom panel looking like

>>281476754
I don't have the raws but I'd guess it's probably one of those situations where the translation made up a second person pronoun where there is none in the vernacular because of how the Japanese language works differently from English

>>281473119
Do they don't know about schizophrenia?

>>281473333
Pretty hardcore

>>281473528
Nice parallel, I like this

>>281473725
Another serial killer, huh

>>281473737
To be fair, knowing what he is like getting him in your car might not have been the best idea

>>281473853
>>281473866
Yeah, get fucked

>>281473924
Oh, so this is where the Korean series took the journalist bit from

>>281473977
She's talking to Migi here

>>281474134
I knew the artstyle reminded me of Poe no Ichizoku.
I liked this one, it was a pleasant read.

>>281473446
it's a shoji. It has no relation with parasyte except the name

>>281474150
Thanks, OP, that was a good read

>>281475945
Poe no Ichizoku is a classic shojo manga, one of the staples of Gothic manga. Very important.

>>281476493
That's why I like shojo manga; it's like taking a peek behind the curtain

>>281477298
We literally just saw Shinichi

Can't wait for the Peach Pit one

>>281477598
Oh god

>>281473515
>"Try to imitate me"
>*does so perfectly*
>"Actually she sucks, I want someone who doesn't imitate instead"
i hate boomers

>>281474150
Thanks for posting
Well that was about as bland and uninspired as it gets, hopefully next contributions will be more interesting

>>281475945
The super short summary is that she's the ultimate high brow fujo

But I think anyone that really likes manga will like hagio moto even if you are way way outside of her demographic strike zone

>>281478733
I liked the symbolism/parallel drawn with the pearl diver story and Reiko's sacrifice. The characters were a little dull though, and the artstyle is a little too shoujo for my taste.

I thought paraystes got OP (again), even after everything ended

>>281473833
>The father just went "wait, what?"
lmao

>>281472858 (OP)
Parasyte was kino. Did the mangaka do anything else worth watching or reading?

>>281473218
She doesn't look like a looker to me

>>281480021
>He's actually not the father
Guess I'm a speedreader...

>>281473912
Hah, that's a nice plot twist. I was thinking maybe she was a parasyte that took over a baby but didn't know her true form somehow.

>>281480119
>Plot twist
How, you thought she's just some random girl? Not the baby from Parasyte?

>>281473853
based

>>281480119
Anon... didn't all the times she was wondering about her mom clue you in?

>>281474008
>this creepy kid just started with the horror movie lines

>>281480041
historie

>>281480252
>No anime
Fuck I prefer watching the anime. You think it'll get an adaption one day or do I have to read the manga?

>>281480204
>>281480171
I thought the mom was a more abstract thing, like "the mother of all parasytes", that's why she was thinking about killing

>>281480119
That "shut up" was pretty obvious...

>>281480275
I really really have no idea.

>>281480377
kek fair enough

>>281480275
No ending or recent new chapters either

>>281473833
I hadn't really though of how out of place this fag looks compared to everyone else dresses in the manga

>>281472909
So these are a bunch of one shots from other authors to celebrate parasyte?
>>281474086
>perfectlly normal child
Is she thought? lmao

>>281480286
Well, parasytes don't really like listening to humans, like A

>>281480836
>So these are a bunch of one shots from other authors to celebrate parasyte?
You hit the nail on the head

>>281480867
But that was Reiko's only communication with her child at first

>>281481005
I didn't think we'd get anything related to the main story, plus Tamura never said "kill" to her child, so the argument is kinda pointless

Soon? Or at the same time as earlier?

>>281477298
Every chapter is a different writer and idea.

Eat It Tonight, Too (Moare Ohta)

>>281474150
Thanks OP. started off a bit boring but the tie in made it more interesting and reflect a bit more on the beginning. looking forward to reading more

終

>>281482734
Didn't feel that sharp
Equating a parasyte eating humans with getting junk food like pizza is kinda cutesy. Never read Teppu.

Cute autistic parasyte

>>281482324
>>281482345
Lol

>>281482432
Kek

This piece by Moare is a perfectly balanced spin-off.

>>281482674
Kids these days just don't get scared anymore

>>281482782
Thanks
This one is one of my favourites in the collection, though I can't really tell why

>>281482587
The non-reproduction thing was always salient and makes it seem like you have to interpret them as non-natural

>>281482756
Yep, it's kino

>>281482292
kek
i like this reference

>>281482128
Wait what? If he was in his late twenties according to his fake id when he got married, he got the fake id through Hirokawa and the Mincemeat Murders were still in the news when he first ate his future wife's cooking, the parasite has to be around 75 years old now. The host body might be older than 100, but there's no way it belonged to a man in his sixties at the start of the flashback.

>>281483633
It kind of makes sense if the parasyte infected an older man for that to be the root of his healthy eating fixation though, right? He probably had to patch up a bunch of organ problems right off the bat.

>>281482292
>>281483573
Oh, it's only just clicked for me that that panel was supposed to parallel picrel

>>281482128
Is this the one drawn by the same guy that made Teppu?

>>281482224
That's damn tasty looking

>>281482272
I fucking wisg 36 year olds looked this good

>>281482292
So he's planning on swapping bodies or does he just want to eat her cooking?

>>281485414
Yeah

>>281482313
Just realized she reminds me of Midori from Midori Experience.

>>281477431
and if you change his name to john it changes nothing to the story.
>>281481357
I wasn't criticizing it, I was saying that the story is so disconnected to the main story that it wouldn't necessarily appeal to those who liked kiseijuu.

And now I realized that the anon was wondering if any of the regular cast would appear in the manga, but I read it as any of the regular storytime readers would show up in the thread

>>281485557
Anon read slower

>>281482324
>>281482345
She might just assume he's retarded and she likes that about him

>>281482388
That's a mean thing to say about your dad

>>281482408
I wonder, did this come out before or after the Reiko doujin? The similarities are uncanny.

>>281482470
This parasite myst be severely autistic, Migi learned how to act like a person in a year and this guy is still the same after decades

>>281482490
This is both funny and sad

>>281483116
>>281482674
cool freddy fazbear impression, boomer.

>>281482527
Holy kek

>>281482692
He overexerted and died?

>>281482756
This guy with this fantastic style did Teppu, a Parasyte doujin and dropped out

>>281483155
I think it's just a very obvious idea, how would a parasite that lives in hiding act like? Plus, it's kind of cute and funny and it's got really nice art.

>>281485613
>and if you change his name to john it changes nothing to the story.
Except he's the only person who knew her mother and could tell her that she died to protect her? Who else but Shinichi could have had that moment with her?

>>281485628
She watched him almost unfurl his face during this conversation and was more amused than shocked when he suddenly aged 20 years. She knew something was off about him, but she was a spinster with low self-esteem and they got along well, so.

>>281486073
what I meant was, this story is not parasyte specific. Her mom could have been a drug smuggler or a political activist or a terrorist or an alien or any other sort of thing

i wonder if parasites die of natural causes and for how long they can continue swapping hosts

>>281480219
>i wish I was balls-deep in Murano right now.

>>281480836
>>281480939
It's called an anthology tribute.

>>281482156
cute!

>>281482241
Same, girl.

>>281485528
They need to eat healthy.

>>281482388
cute mob face

>>281482756
I really love Teppu, so it's no surprise I enjoyed this one way more than the first one.

>>281486448
I think it attempts to answer a very obvious parasyte specific question, i.e. what happened with Tamiya's baby.

>>281473853
Great kids

>>281473994
ohhh

>>281480252
That's him?!

>>281485414
>>281485576
He made even more parasite stuff

>>281482241
and she does MMA on the side

>>281473853
She must have some parasite cells on her from breastfeeding

>>281490821
I'd expect the placenta to be more involved in that than breast milk

>>281482292
Holy shit lol

>>281482324
holy SHIT LOL

I thought he was gonna switch bodies into her or maybe use their child's body. It's pretty weird for a parasyte to rely on someone else's cooking to live long

>>281483155
It feels like the logical conclusion that someone like Reiko could have reached if she hadn't gone too far before her development.
It satisfies the same feeling of missed opportunities that the Reiko/Uda doujin did, funnily enough.

>>281493352
>It's pretty weird for a parasyte to rely on someone else's cooking to live long
Well, I mean... Relying on someone else is what a parasite does, isn't it?

>Years later, Shinichi writes a tell all book about the 'sytes.
>Hollywood wants to adapt it, Shinichi goes to hollywood to negotiate
>Migi is startled awake by all the parasytes running the city.

>>281490052
If you're talking about Parasyte Reversi, I've read that too.
It's not as enjoyable as this or the original, the characters are less fun and the story is a slight bit harder to follow. Good art though. I'd call it about a 7/10.

>>281482552
>>281482569
I like these pages, how it depicts his realisation that he should have appreciated his wife and her cooking a lot more than he did. Probably about as close to a parasite overtly missing a human and wishing they were still around. Also, using the tentacles for chopping and cooking is a fun idea.

>>281485950
he doesnt eat if the food is shit

>>281482587
Cute Migi toy

The daughter is cute

>>281491089
oh yeah, she was pregnant and all

>>281482241
I like how the TV just shows random murder case

>>281482674
He almost got me

>>281482756
It was romantic, at least for me
>>281482782
Thanks OP
