【Story Introduction】

One day, the protagonist Izumi Shinichi discovered many spores in the sky above the earth. The larvae born from them invaded the body and aimed to parasitize the brain. After the parasitism was completed, they assimilated with the brain cells. He can transform at will, and his food is the same species as the parasite - humans. Due to the appearance of parasitic beasts, cruel murders and chopping of meat have been reported everywhere, but humans have ignored these still rare cases. Moreover, parasitic beasts gradually understand the human world. They have also learned to start planning and organizing and use political power. The future of the whole world has fallen into endless panic. The protagonist Izumi Shinichi is of course one of the humans parasitized by the parasitic creatures, but due to some accident, the creature (MIGI, translated as Mickey in the Chinese version) parasitic in his body did not merge with his brain, but merged with his right hand. For the mother killed by the parasitic beast and the future of all mankind, a series of desperate battles with other perfect parasitic beasts began...
