About
"Body horror that turns into a soul-searching argument"
Alien parasites drop to Earth and burrow into unsuspecting humans, taking over their bodies and minds to hunt people as prey. A high schooler named Shinichi is only half-infected, leaving his right hand possessed by an alien while his own consciousness survives. The series follows his uneasy, evolving partnership with the creature as both must renegotiate what makes someone human. It moves briskly through body-horror action and quieter philosophical unease, balancing gruesome shapeshifting violence with surprisingly tender character work and a coming-of-age undertone.
the unsettling, oddly moving bond between a teenager and the alien sharing his body.
you're squeamish about graphic shapeshifting violence or want a purely lighthearted anime.
