Description
They arrive in silence and darkness. They descend from the skies. They have a hunger for human flesh. They are everywhere.

Initially, Kiseijuu was >really< interesting to read. The artwork is kinda stiff, but the story made up for that. I loved it. However, the last volume, which was abrupt & forced, disappointed me. I didn't feel satisfied at all. It ruined the whole series. =.='
This manga is awesome!! Full of blood and gore. The storyline is good too. U guys got to check this masterpiece fast
This is definately an awsome manga, but a word of caution-- it is graphic. It starts out almost cute, but very quickly gets rough. For squeamish people like me its torture because the story is good enough to keep me coming back, and the violence is enough to keep me up. Definately have lost sleep over this one. But if you can stomach some gore, and don't read it right before bed, truely captivating.
OHMYGOSH! I just realized that this series was also known as Parasyte! I read this series a couple of years ago and was very impressed by it. Very involving! Don't hesitate to check this out.
This manga is delicious, lots of blood, gore and aliens!
My favourite manga!
