寄生獣リバーシ
A veteran detective of the East Fukuyama police department, Fukami, is handed a case that refuses to make sense: three bodies discovered in an abandoned basement parking garage, cut limb from limb while their hearts were still beating. The murders appear to have happened in an impossibly short span of time, and nothing at the scene adds up.
The only witness is a high school student named Tatsuki Hirokawa, and his composure in front of the killings unsettles Fukami more than the corpses do. The detective becomes convinced the boy saw exactly what happened and who did it, and that he is holding something back.
As Fukami looks into Tatsuki's family, he edges toward a hidden side of the world where human beings are hunted by parasites that wear human faces, and where the fight to survive goes on quietly, far from any official record.
