Tokyo 1970: I'll draw Doraemon?

To the reader's surprise, Guangchuan did not choose to escape, but instead spoke of such profound truths.

He believes that humans are the poison of the earth, and parasites are the neutralizers sent by nature.

He believed that the uncontrolled reproduction of humans was destroying the ecosystem; parasites preying on humans could reduce the population and restore ecological balance.

When the gunshot rang out, Hirokawa fell.

It was only then that readers realized that this mayor, who had always been expressionless, was actually human!

He is not a parasite, but a human!

Hirokawa chose to side with the parasites and help them hunt humans because he was an extreme eco-pacifist!

His previous public speeches were not lies at all.

By setting up a parasitic canteen in the city to cover up a dismemberment case, he was fulfilling a promise to his voters!

"What a clever setup, unexpected yet perfectly logical," Inoue Keizo thought.

Chapter 147 "Parasyte" (End)

Goto, a monster formed from the fusion of five parasitic beasts—head, hands, and feet—possesses terrifying strength.

He indiscriminately slaughtered professional soldiers wielding shotguns, resulting in the deaths of 57 people.

Even Shinichi Izumi was no match for such a guy; even "Right" was severed from his right arm, its fate unknown.

But even Goto died from the toxins in the garbage carelessly dumped by humans.

Shinichi Izumi used all his strength to pull out an iron rod from the garbage heap and pierced it into a gap in Goto's skin, causing the toxins that humans had inadvertently produced to enter Goto's body.

Apart from the leader "Goto", the other four parasites want to escape the poison and start a tug-of-war. With just a little external force, Goto will be torn to pieces.

Such a powerful and oppressive villain died at the hands of human evil, leaving readers with a sense of profound sorrow.

"Parasites can never defeat humans."

"Reiko Tamura once said, 'We are fragile...we are life forms that cannot survive independently...so don't bully us too much.' She was absolutely right."

At this moment, without needing any manga interpretation, Shinichi Izumi and the readers clearly understand the origin of Parasyte.

Humans create toxins that drive organisms to desperation. From the perspective of organisms as a whole, humans are the toxins, and parasitic organisms are the antidote.

The parasites exist to eliminate humans who pollute the Earth.

This is the meaning behind their existence.

"Just because a creature is harmful to humans, does it not have the right to exist?"

"Even if it doesn't benefit humanity, it might be better from the perspective of the planet as a whole."

Shinichi Izumi watched as Goto Shards struggled, desperately trying to survive and gain a 50% chance of living.

Despite having just been engaged in a life-or-death struggle, Shinichi Izumi was suddenly overcome with compassion.

He decided to leave Goto's fate to destiny.

But in the end, he still raised his knife and, with tears in his eyes, cut off Goto's last chance at life.

"I am but a tiny human being... my power is only enough to protect my small family..."

Reflecting on Shinichi Izumi's lines, Keizo Inoue was filled with admiration.

This line is undoubtedly the key to understanding Parasyte.

Based on the previous content, readers can see that Parasyte is an environmental work.

It criticizes humanity's destruction of nature and all living things.

However, Oikawa did not simply criticize human nature. Instead, he took a human perspective and prioritized human survival over nature.

That's why Shinichi Izumi, even knowing that what he did was wrong, still chose to kill Goto, who might threaten his family and friends.

“Even though humanity is flawed, cruel, and selfish, I still choose to stand on the side of this species and bear all the sins and suffering that come with it,” Keizo Inoue concluded.

"Oikawa-sensei did not immerse himself in the grand narrative of criticizing humanity, but rather detached himself from it, depicting a more realistic plot that aligns with the reader's perception. It was truly a remarkable concept."

Parasyte is nearing its end. The manga remains stable until the very end, offering readers more insights.

Unlike most dark comics, it didn't start with a grand beginning but couldn't end.

Now, Keizo Inoue can define "Parasyte".

"This is the most brilliant youth comic since the 70s."

"In terms of status, it can be compared with Naruto in the world of shonen manga."

"Tch, another work by Oikawa-sensei."

Whenever he thinks about this, he can't help but sigh.

"That despicable Watanabe Shizuo!"

If Inoue Keizo had Oikawa Ji under his command, he would definitely take good care of him, consider his feelings, give him enough creative space and benefits, and then...

To become the world's number one comic book magazine!

Unfortunately, they were all ruined by Shizuo Watanabe.

……

"Humans protect other animals simply because they are lonely. Humans protect the environment simply because they don't want to be extinct." I used to think this way, but after reading Oikawa's "Parasyte," I suddenly had a different understanding.

Because whether it's moral cultivation or empathy with animals, the starting point for all of this comes from human standards and concepts.

Therefore, it is pointless to belittle humanity. Rather than focusing on grand topics, we should concentrate on our own compassion and responsibility.

"I've also watched 'Naruto' by the teacher, it's very exciting, it's about the inner transformation of a young man, right? It's completely different from 'Parasyte'. I really don't understand how Oikawa-sensei managed to do it, he seems like a passionate young man on one hand, but has the preachy soul of a middle-aged man on the other."

"The Hirokawa Group has been wiped out, but they were only a small part of the parasites. There must be other parasites still active. So this manga definitely won't end quickly, right?!"

Compared to the booming Weekly Shonen Future, which attracted attention from its peers, Weekly Seinen Future quietly made a fortune. Unbeknownst to many, Seinen Future also achieved a circulation of 80 copies thanks to a number of excellent manga such as Parasyte.

The only magazine with a higher circulation than "Young Future" is Shogakukan's "Big Comic".

Therefore, both of Mirai-sha's manga magazines entered the top tier of Japanese manga publications, becoming the pinnacle of the pyramid that everyone looked up to.

Shinsuke Kitahara should be happy about this.

Whether it's reader letters or its influence, Parasyte has demonstrated outstanding achievements that other works cannot match.

However, as many readers guessed.

Parasyte is coming to an end.

This week, editor Oikawa handed the final chapter of Parasyte to Shinsuke Kitahara.

That's the title of the final chapter, which is called "You".

Kitahara Shinsuke could understand Oikawa's thoughts.

That's how comic artists are. For the sake of the integrity of the plot and the best expression, they disregard the publisher's plans, financial gains, and so on, and only follow the best development of the story, very arbitrarily choosing to end their works.

If it were anyone else, Kitahara Shinsuke could have tried to persuade them, but this was Oikawa Ji.

As one of the owners of Future Society, he was just an employee; how could he expect anything from his boss?

Even if Oikawa wanted to draw the Prime Minister into a manga and torture him, he could only smile and support him.

Calling him Japan's most free-spirited manga artist wouldn't be accurate.

"If the boss doesn't care about the magazine's future, what am I supposed to do? Let's just end it here."

He stamped the document neatly and handed it to President Fujiwara.

"I need to think about this carefully. How much should the circulation of Weekly Youth Future be reduced without Parasyte?"

……

A week later, Naruto introduced a unique character: compared to the other candidates who were desperately trying to obtain Chunin qualifications, Nara Shikamaru was a lazy and complacent person.

He didn't even want to leave the game, and eventually surrendered.

His strength lies in his exceptional intelligence, surpassing that of his peers; his weakness is his inability to muster any interest.

Readers experienced the surprise of him extending his shadow by using the hole Naruto dug, while also feeling a bit disappointed in his unconventional ways.

In short, the battle between Shikamaru and Temari, the princess of Sunagakure, was very exciting. Unlike other styles, it was more about the charm of a battle of wits, which readers enjoyed and were immersed in the world of Naruto.

And in the next chapter, as they expected, it will be a battle between Sasuke and Gaara!

After Kakashi's special training, to what extent will Sasuke's strength grow? Will he really be able to defeat Rock Lee, a terrifying opponent whom even Rock Lee might not be able to defeat in the future?

All of this is unknown.

With great anticipation, they longed to see this chapter as soon as possible.

……

"Ahhh!"

Matsumoto ran home with a strange cry, ran up to the second floor, and then saw his older brother lying in the bedroom in a daze.

"I'm short of pocket money, please, brother, give me 100!"

He deeply regrets buying that Kendama; now he doesn't even have the money to buy "Future"!

His classmates were all discussing "Naruto," but he could only cover his ears and ignore the spoilers.

"I beg you!"

Matsumoto clasped his hands together and bowed deeply repeatedly.

"Huh?" Matsumoto turned around, his eyes wide. "What did you say? 100?"

"Yes!" Matsumoto nodded emphatically, his face full of anticipation.

"Alright then..."

Although the older brother agreed, his gaze remained fixed on the comic book, and his hand slowly moved down to his pocket before stopping.

"Brother!" Matsumoto urged again.

"Huh? What?"

"one hundred……"
