Kodansha USA describes the main summary of Parasyte Reversi as follows:
Three dismembered bodies are found in an abandoned underground parking garage, their limbs severed while they were still alive…and the boy who discovered them is believable as the murders occurred in an unimaginably short period of time. Nothing seems believable to veteran detective Fukami of the Fukuyama East Police Department, and his instincts tell him that the boy is hiding something. In fact, he's pretty sure that Tatsuki Hirokawa saw exactly what happened and who did it. But what the boy knows will surpass his wildest nightmares…
Parasyte has inspired two tribute collections, Neo Parasyte f and Neo Parasyte m, as well as a 24-episode anime television series in 2014 and a two-part live-action film series released between 2014 and 2015.
The film also inspired the South Korean live-action television series Parasyte: The Grey, which was released on Netflix on April 5, 2024.
