| I think they both survived, since Migi responds are hevely based on his emotions, he porbably woke up even from his sleep. And his sleep is volunterly and more as observer as i understood last part of his dreams. It's just that he won't mendel with his life anymore and be dormant. And that never vaking up is well he will have to wake up if he is ded, so it's logical that he instintivly trys to protect a life tretening situation again. I think it was great ending. Not excluding alien thing but also pointing out he won't do anything but absolutly nesesery in order to survive. |

| The ending was amazing, but I felt that some earlier parts of the story was dragged out a bit too much. Still, it was very enjoyable and had some interesting philosophical themes. 8-9/10. Probably 8 because of the drawings. Maelstrom_Divide said: Then, the closing page. A shot of the planet with the text "I only want to feel some warmth... even from that which death would take from me." According to the English translation in the new Del Rey releases the text on the last page reads, "Hold close to something... until the day you die", which is really different from that. Makes me wonder how bad amateur translations have messed up my understanding of other mangas I've read. |
| one word.....AWESOME!!! |
 |
| I thought it was an alright series. It was definitely a page-turner but I didn't find it to be awesome. |
| Great ending! I thought migi woulnd't appear at all but there is still hope Migi is looking out for Shinji's loved ones. 10/10 from me! I do believe Migi has become a great life form in this manga. With the transformation he's gone through i believe it reflects on the mass of information he has gathered on human life. |
| 9/10 too A nice manga. |

Makes me wonder how bad amateur translations have messed up my understanding of other mangas I've read. I think I might have made a thread about this years ago...I think the general consensus was: they have messed up nearly every manga translation VERY BADLY. They're not professionals, just fans. As a result, whenever I read a manga, I just presume I'm getting the jist. I do like some scanalators who add notes to the end of a chapter explaining references in the chapter or why they chose to use specific words, that kind of behaviour is professional. |

| Wow this was an awesome manga i really enjoyed reading this :D 10/10 |
 |
| Woot, Migi saved the day again. Shinichi deserved the happy ending! :D |
| HEY! |
| liked the manga , just one question : wasn't the mayor a parasyte too ? why didn't he fight , he just die like that from the military .......? ........or was he human who hates the mankind's actions .......? |

The last parasyte (that with a lot of parasytes inside of him, can't remember his name) talked with the mayor when he was dying and said that he was human. This was a really nice manga, I honestly didn't expect the manga to show this kind of psychological stuff about who is the real monster of the story. As for the ending, the scanlated version is probably bad translated in the last pages. In my opinion both of them survived 10/10 for me |

| its nice to read something like this every now and then. very good story. |

| Read it in less than a day, genuinely enjoyed it. 9/10 from me. Migi is awesome, wish I had him lol. |
| Hurr durr, I'm a burr. |
| Amazing ending just amazing..This HAS to become anime! |
| What a masterpiece, the ending was perfect. |
| This was awesome !! Enjoyed it! |
 |
| Great manga. I, as everyone, thought she had died. I'm glad she didn't; otherwise, I would have felt very trolled. Plus we got to see a little of Migi :) |

| What the fuck kind of ending was that? I'm so confused.. Why did this chapter exist? It could have ended perfectly at 63! |
| can anyone tell me why does the superstrong parasyte have two names? no, actually, three: sanji, goto, kuroro. Afaiu , Sanji was the weak one. |

Migi...I won't forget you or the events of the final chapter and their journey. Overall, rating this 8/10. Can't wait to see the anime! |
 |
| Good ending. A very enjoyable read. I wonder how they'll manage to translate this to an anime series. It's not your typical shounen in any sense. |

| Damn what a nice manga. It wasnt something special but damn it was enjoyable. And i have to admit that Migi was my favorite character in the series. I was so sad when we thought that he died :/ And even in the end it was touching. DAMN MIGI! |
| Never ending nightmare! |

| Now, i hope Mad House don't fuck up everything since the manga is ended. The character design i see on the preview trailer is ok, indeed the chara of the manga is bad expecially at beginning (elfen lied like) but improve in the run and it fit perfectly the story. Cross fingers. ps: Now, i hope they made an anime for Dragon Head too, another masterpiece and classic manga. |

Nope said: Rykyr said: A year later and your wish has come true.Amazing ending just amazing..This HAS to become anime! Live action and an anime in the same year!? Its been just about 2 decades since this manga finished, what's with the sudden uproar? Anyway, I guess that's talk for a different thread. I finished reading this today and I was very pleased with it, almost to the point of a 10/10. In hindsight, some things were holding it back from hitting that mark though. The art is dated, but this was made in the 1990's so it's not fair to dock points for that imo, and the translation, while not the best, got the job done, but the things that I think held it back were just some minor character flaws and some things in the story that just didn't make sense to me (i.e. What is stopping other parasytes from coming together and becoming another goto, the detective finds out that Shinichi has a parasyte in his arm, but his dad never does??? and there's many more..not really "errors" per-say but just nittpicks). |

Maelstrom_Divide said: To me, it seemed strongly as if they died in the end. If you look at the ending, Shinichi thinks he had let her fall. He clearly misses. He closes his eyes, and all of a sudden he's saved her (This is Point 1), with the help of Migi. Point 2, Migi is alive. He looks up and sees a serene sky. He tells her about the puppy, and somehow she knew, going as far as to assume she did. This contradicts her actions and thoughts earlier in the manga. Point 3, she is saying things that go out of character, but that seem to be exactly what Shinichi wants to hear. Point 4, the people on the roof believe that all of the bodies are dead and then, with a very slight smile on his face, Shinichi laughs, before a closeup of his right hand appears. His right-hand is perfectly stationary and shows no sign of Migi. Migi said it would be impossible for him to have any sort of consciousness for decades, so I find it hard to believe he would be able to will his way into existence for just a brief moment. Everything goes exactly as Shinichi could have hoped, in every regard. Then, the closing page. A shot of the planet with the text "I only want to feel some warmth... even from that which death would take from me." I think it's an extremely ambiguous ending, in the same vein as Taxi Driver. It's up for debate whether the events in the last few pages actually happened, while being heavily implied to be just a fantasy within Shinichi's mind. Migi stated that while he was inside Goto's body, he felt like a spectator, and because of that, almost invincible. Right before the dream scene where Migi tells Shinichi that he's going to disappear, there was some narrative that explains that some parasytes adapted to become like humans. Doesn't that say something about what Migi was trying to do? He's obviously changed and become less cold-hearted, and along with that I think he decided that being a spectator and helping out at times of danger would be the best thing for Shinichi, thus implying that his "decade slumber" is something he can snap out of at will considering he decided to do it himself. Also, I don't think that roof top battle panned out exactly like Shinichi wished... 2 people died, he got a knife stuck in his left arm, and he missed the grab with his right... definitely not ideal. It was Migi who helped. |
|
| It's been a while since I finished it but I just say this thread and say that the end made me cry a little. |
 |
| What a nice ending. Migi saved the day and the story ends. Can't wait to see this animated by "Madhouse!!!" |
 |
| What a great ride. I didn't get bored at all. The mangaka made a nice touch with the ending though; instead of giving us an after-story, he pulled something crazy that kept me hook until the very last panel. Sasuga. |
| Migi was the BEST PET Shinichi could ask for character. I can't wait to see Kiseijuu weekly now. I'm fired up! Always-Hungry said: Yup, Migi saved the day at the end. I loved how Migi and Shinichii's relationship progressed throughout the manga. Migi was able to understand humans after all.What a nice ending. Migi saved the day and the story ends. Can't wait to see this animated by "Madhouse!!!" 8/10 for this manga. |

lejon_brames said: Pretty sure it was Migi. He missed grabbing her, so yeah.Did Migi actually pull the girl up or was it just in his mind? |
 |
| Fuck, I watched the 4 episodes that came out yesterday but I liked it so much I couldn't just wait for weekly episodes, I had to continue this although I normally hate to read stuff in scans. I finished it now. Gosh this manga was amazing!! I loved everything about it! Btw I didn't really get why Migi started going dormant? Oh and although he is dormant, does Shinichi still keep his superhuman powers? It seems not but in the end he was able to run fast and stuff. I dunno. Great stuff, I recommend it :D |
| welp... it was okay. 7/10. wouldve been better if shinchi didnt go so back and forth between what was right/wrong and just stayed consistently logical after the death of his mom. because of the inconsistency, as well as the annoying female MC, it wasnt very enjoyable at times. too cringe worthy, too... "are you kidding me", lol. oh well, it was at least decent enough for me to go through ~50ish chapters in one go. |
    |
| i hope Murano didn't hook up with any other guys while she's in her the university for this 1 year time skip... cause Shinishinichi didn't hook up with any obviously... o well at least both them get to live and and finally the whole ordeal is done... nice ending... |

| This was a masterpiece. 10/10 I remember that I randomly found out about this manga called "Parasyte". I just saw a picture of an "alien" dog eating another dog. I made a little research and said to myself that I HAVE to read this. And here I am, just finished it. The last chapter was an emotional roller-coaster: Migi sleeps eternally: sad Humans and Parasites coexist: happy Kabuto captures Satomi: sad Shinichi sucker-punches Kabuto: really happy Shinichi doesn't catch Satomi: really sad Migi catches Satomi: FUCKING HAPPY Manga ends: NOOOOOO I really can't describe my feelings about this manga. Thank you Hitoshi Iwaaki for this masterpiece! |
| 10/10. I decided to read this before starting on the anime...what a great decision. Holy fudge. What a roller coaster. I'm really glad that after all that shit Shinichi went through he miraculously made it through it all. Migi was a freaking master mind too. Great manga. Now unto the anime. Already not high on the character designs... So I guess I've become one of those snobs! |
 |
| Holy shit! That moment when he backhanded the serial killer and then missed grabbing Satomi's hand... SO INTENSE! I almost couldn't believe what I was reading! My mouth went agape. I was just like "no way!" and, well... then... Migi ended up saving her, anyway. Well... even though they teased a tragedy, it ended up being a happy ending... and I suppose still a good one, too. I wonder how they're going to handle this chapter in the anime. The real ending seems to be the previous chapter. I wouldn't be surprised if this last chapter ends up becoming some stand-alone OVA. |
