Shinichu Izumi vive con sus padres de forma tranquila, hasta que, una noche, los organismos invaden la Tierra. Se trata de gusanos (parásitos) que se introducen dentro de los humanos, a través de sus ojos o nariz para dominar su cerebro. Shinichi consigue que no entren en su cuerpo, pero infectarán su mano. Aquí comienza su lucha por la supervivencia en un mundo hostil.

Parasyte, Volumen 1

They arrive in silence and darkness. They descend from the skies. They have a hunger for human flesh. They are everywhere. They are parasites, alien creatures who must invade—and take control of—a human host to survive. And once they have infected their victims, they can assume any deadly form they choose: monsters with giant teeth, winged demons, creatures with blades for hands. But most have chosen to conceal their lethal purpose behind ordinary human faces. So no one knows their secret—except an ordinary high school student. Shin is battling for control of his own body against an alien parasite, but can he find a way to warn humanity of the horrors to come?
