Parasyte is obviously supposed to be more horror and action, what with alien parasites invading and taking over human's minds - basically Body Snatchers.
The manga includes thought-provoking questions, like why aliens, who eat humans, are terrible when humans eat various meats to survive themselves.
And Shinji's personality changing, as he is slowly merging with the alient Migi, and how this affects his personal relationships with his girlfriend, parents and similar, can be quite tragic.
My personal problem is, I am never sure if I'm reading a horror manga or a comedic slapstick! Perhaps this was done by the mangaka on purpose, perhaps it's my own mind just seeing it as funnier, but several of the most horrific scenes of humans being eaten, stabbed or similar, just look hilarious to me. Like I am supposed to laugh and see it as a comedic scene, rather than something horrifying.
I'm So Confused
