Parasyte the Grey is an upcoming South Korean adaptation of the legendary and influential Japanese manga series Parasyte, written and drawn by Hitoshi Iwaaki. The series features aliens who arrive on Earth and take over the bodies of several humans to wage war against them. However, the protagonist, a teenager named Shinichi Izumi, only has his arm taken and develops a connection with his parasite.
It has already been confirmed that Parasyte the Grey will have South Korean names instead of Japanese ones, although that has been common practice between both countries when they adapt each other's work. However, there is a lot more to unpack when it comes to this live-action project.
