MONSTER Shinichi was just an ordinary high school student, until his body was invaded by a parasite, a horrifying alien being. Now Shinichi is a monster with a human face . . . and a human conscience. He is unlike anything else in the world–part man, part alien, and caught in a desperate struggle to save his own soul.
Shinichi is wracked with guilt and paranoia over his monstrous transformation, and the human detective sniffing around isn’t helping his nerves. Struggling to protect his human sense of integrity amidst monsters imitating human behavior more and more closely, Shinichi’s relationships with his friends and family grow strained and distant. Will Shinichi be able to stand for what’s right, and fight back against cleverer monsters than ever before?

After a parasite invaded Shinichi’s body and ate his right arm, Shinichi hasn’t been the same. He’s become something monstrous, but unlike the rest of the parasites, he’s retained his mind, including his human conscience, which weighs on him heavily. He now walks a thin line between the humans who have uncovered the truth, and the parasites who know of his hybrid existence. As the situation starts to escalate, what will happen to Shinichi?

Now Shinichi is a monster with a human face . . . and a human conscience. He is unlike anything else in the world–part man, part alien, and caught in a desperate struggle to save his own soul.
Shinichi’s fragile peace has shattered. The humans who know of the parasites are starting to make their move, and the parasites themselves are beginning to cooperate and dispose of loose ends. With his human mind and parasite arm, Shinichi is a threat they can no longer ignore. His strange connection with the parasite Reiko Tamura continues to haunt him. Hunted by parasites, with human authorities edging ever closer to discovering him, Shinichi will have to keep his wits about him to survive.
Shinichi has been hiding his true nature from the world: His body has been colonized by an alien being, and now he’s halfhuman, halfalien. The other alien invaders, led by the cruel and beautiful Tamura, have discovered his secret. Shinichi is a threat to their plan to destroy the human race–a threat that these ruthless creatures will no longer ignore . . .
Shinichi’s daily life will never be the same. Forced to skip school and abandon his home to protect his loved ones, he wanders the streets in search of others like him. Meanwhile, the parasites are starting to work together, while the human authorities are learning how they might be able to fight back. As private detective Kuramori learns the extent of the parasites’ capacity for violence, parasite Reiko Tamura learns about the human capacity for compassion. But will that be enough to stop the bloodshed?
