Parasyte: The Maxim background

Parasyte: The Maxim

Shinichi Izumi, a 17-year-old high school student, is infected by a Parasyte, a monstrous creature that feeds on human flesh. As a result, he becomes a hybrid of human and monster, struggling to maintain his humanity while learning to coexist with the parasitic entity inside him.

Izumi Shinichi, a 16-year-old Tokyo resident, lives with his parents in a quiet neighborhood. One night, worm-like aliens called Parasytes invade Earth, taking over human brains through ears or noses. A Parasyte attempts to enter Shinichi's ear while he sleeps, but fails due to his headphones, and instead enters his arm, taking over his right hand and naming itself Migi.
