Mantan Web channel released a trailer for the science fiction and horror manga by author Hitoshi Iwaaki, Kiseijū: Sei no Kakuritsu (Parasyte).
Kenichi Shimizu will direct the series at MADHOUSE , with Shoji Yonemura (Guin Saga, Glass Fleet) providing series composition. Tadashi Hiramatsu (Abenobashi, Karekano) is designing the characters, and Ken Arai is composing the music.
The manga is set in a world where alien beings called parasites come to Earth and begin taking over humans, inserting them through their noses and ears and attaching themselves to their brains. An alien named Migi is only able to take over the right arm of high school student Shinichi Izumi, where he is unable to fully control Shinichi. Migi and Shinichi learn to coexist, and the two battle other parasites that view humans as food.
Iwaaki published the manga in Kodansha's Afternoon magazine from 1990 to 1995. Mixxine, the company that eventually became Tokyopop, published Parasyte in its Mixxine magazine and later in compiled book volumes. Del Rey then republished the series from 2007 to 2009, and Kodansha Comics republished the manga again from 2011 to 2012.
The manga will also have two live-action film adaptations, the first of which is scheduled for release in December.
