Parasyte is loving awesome and I highly recommend it. Especially if you liked "I Am a Hero" this story is very much in the same vein. I keep hearing rumors they are making this into an anime but I've not seen anything concrete. I do know they are adapting it into 2 live action movies last year so I'm very much looking forward to that.

Thanks! I hope Crunchyroll gets this because I am super pumped! I'm concerned it's only 24 episodes though considering the manga is 64 chapters.

Rejoice, for there is another full volume of I Am A Hero released!

An honestly very light-hearted bunch of chapters, compared to the rest of the series. Oda being pregnant certainly throws a wrench into things, though. And her self-sacrificing nature to not burden Hideo and Hiromi will surely lead to more dangerous shenanigans. Seems like the infected are going a Fort Of The Apocalypse route with combining/mutating into other lifeforms, as well as having "alpha" versions that can command other infected. Should result in some real great, horrifying monstrosities, for sure! I love the fairly relaxed pace this series takes. Spending multiple pages with just Oda and Hiromi's breathing in the ocean air was a refreshing cooldown time from the first few chapters of this volume.

Man oh man I wish this series would get licensed already.

What a great manga. I'm so glad I read this thread.

HOLY loving poo poo CHAPTER 190. HOLY poo poo!

That might be the most plot-important chapter in the entire series so far. Jesus. I'm trying to think of another similar series that went in this direction but nothing's coming to mind.

Chapter 190 spoilers I was confused. Do you really think this is an alien invasion or the ranting of a lunatic?

It's more that there's a collective consciousness controlling the zombies like a hive mind, and that they're stuck in a semi delusional state, most not even realizing they're zombies. It's been hinted at before but not outright shown until now. Also, the horrific hive-amalgamations and a straight up giant tree-thing made of zombies is a really creative and terrifying design. Whether it's aliens or not, well, we'll have to see.

It feels like it's going in a similar direction as fort of the apocalypse in terms of the evolution aspect, but...hmmm...much less anime about it, I guess?

Chapter 190 spoilers The reveal that they were all zombies was horrific. I thought we had a new group of survivors to see from but then drat

It also makes sense why the zombies have a sort of schedule as was alluded to earlier in the series

I was looking through the thread but I didn't see it

What was the name of the manga that was about the "Bonnie and Clyde-esque" serial killers travelling across Japan and then Godzilla shows up?

If One Piece up and stopped updating altogether tomorrow, despite being my favorite manga by a long shot and having some amazing storylines in it, I would still tell folks to not read it because it was never finished.

Fort of the Apocalypse was very clearly cancelled, and it makes it much more difficult for me to recommend it even if it has an "ending".

I'm not saying that the ending is the most important part, but rather, I don't like incomplete stories as a whole.

I know this is an old post but has One Piece moved into the end game yet or is it still in the middle of the story?
