parasite (manga)

http://view.thespectrum.net/series/parasyte-volume-01.html<BR>

I read this when I was about 12 or so of age
one of the best mangas I have read so far, still

another manga (historie) by the same artist is also good..but very slow in progress lol so I have to restart from the very first volume whenever a new issue gets published lol


have you read this manga?
if so, did/do you like it or not? 🙂
and why?

yes I like it..can't say, though, that I enjoy anime..
I used to read lots of mangas when I was much younger..like during early teens and late teens..
then as I hit my 20s..it decreased..

although, I still read some from time to time..but not an avid follower or consumer..as I used to be once methinks

I don't think mangas and anime are just for kids..adults can enjoy the arts and works..there are different genres and works and aim for adults, too

I cannot say that I 'love' Japanese culture..surely there are some very interesting things that catch my attentions..some are very quirky, weird even like..wtf?! lol Japanese culture..mmmmm...it is unique..I will give that at least
so I think I would say .. I 'enjoy' Japanese culture..partially.. but not 'love'..

I wanted to be a manga artist myself...but that was a long time ago lol like when I was 10 or something
I even drew some comic books...which got quite popular among my classmates..those books were circulated amongst them, too...till one day some selfish bastard (lol) to decided to keep them for him/or herself.. lol
so my very first manga art work..is not in my hand now lol
I hope that selfish bastard had not burned those books to have a nice campfire several years onward..

or..it would've been better that way lol..since now I shudder how crude and very immature the piece of my art work from the past lol .. but then no one creates the master piece at once with their very first attempts.. well..unless someone's a pure genius.. which I was not, apparently lol..


I don't draw much these days..but still do some times..like a several weeks ago..on sun morning, while I was watching a cheap tv show, eating my late breakfast.. I drew a very clumsy portrait of Iago..from shakespeare's play..because I recently reread the play and that villain fascanited me..🙂


anyways..I am rambling lol

so what are your favorite mangas? or who are your favourite manga artists? 🙂
what is you have recently read?

Looks interesting reminds me of "The thing" or "mimic"??_.Ive always wanted to draw comics but I find it hard filling up little boxes.

I read this very fucked up manga when I was little its about a girl who is constipated and she can't get the shit out of her, eventually her amputated stump of a sister wiggles into the bathroom and pulls it out with her mouth but its too late??_.then she realises she is constipated and the paramedics find her dead with her own head up her ass??_

What I liked about this manga was it didn't give a fuck about its audience, I didn't give a fuck about itself??_it didn't give a fuck at all and it is what it is??_fucked up

I really enjoyed death note was such an amazing concept, the best detective story I have ever read..

lol that constipation manga.. when I wrote japanese culture being 'unique'..yea, I was (somewhat) referring to this kind of thing..oh :o
..as a side note, I think I have seen that constipation manga before lol..or maybe other work of the same mangaka.. I guess his manga genre is guro..or ero-guro(basically a pornography..somewhat similar to that human centipede.. involves body dismemberment/modification, scat, a bit of blood play..etc.).. which is not my cup of tea, really.. but each to their own I guess


death note was okay..personally, I think the first few volumes were good..but things got dragged out a bit and lost its former pace and uniqueness in its concept and plot..somewhere in the middle..
but then I think quite lots of japanese mangas are anti-climactic.. such as Gantz.. actually, I was very disappointed.. but then not surprised at all with its ending..considering how other mangas which looked so promising at the beginning but only to lose its charm and power as the series went on.. some does not know when to leave..at its peak..because, after the apex, only the downhills are ahead...

well.. I have been somewhat following berserk and hope that it won't have very predictable and tepid ending.. it'd feel like such a waste of time..considering how many years this manga has been going on so far..🙂

parasite is good...its artwork might not be so fanciful..and well, some may think even crude..but it's a powerful manga..has good plot, theme, messages..not just being gross or weird for the sake of being 'just different'

and even if one does not care much about all those themes, messages, &. the manga is still a good read..because it has an entertaining power.. that alone is enough for this manga to be read also..

LOL^^ Ok I have not completely read the manga I only got up to when the girl with the eyes was killing everyone and i was like WOAH??_.then I watched the anime and there were times where I was thinking "where are they gonna go with this"??_.then L died and I didn't believe it??_they didn't even have a funeral for him!??_.and then It got to the ending and I shed a tear because the torment was over??_

But its so unique that someone took a death note concept and really explored it with such a crazy protagonist.

Have you read claymore—_.I want to get into that??_.Ill probably start downloading manga now
