About this ebook
They start off tiny-like a floating seed, or a virus-and when they come in contact with a human host, they invade and take over. Once in control, they can hide in plain sight to avoid detection, then contort themselves into terrifying abominations, many times stronger and faster than any human, to hunt their prey.

Thank you to Kodansha Comics and Netgalley for an ARC of this comic. All thoughts are my own. I know this is a classic, but I've not ever read this one before. It is really interesting. The premise is kind of classic anime, but I was intruded by our characters, as well as the aliens themselves. Migi is an interesting character, but even the other aliens seem to have more of a depth than I expected. I devoured this first volume, and I'm going to finish the series, I think.
