My girlfriend is Kusunoko Saiki

Although he did not deny that animation did bring a lot of economic benefits to the country.

Not only his son knows about this attitude, but people in the industry also know what kind of temper this man has.

That's why his son secretly brought the comics home instead of telling him.

Looking at his silent father, he took out a whole set of comics from under his bed.

Looking at his son's aggrieved look, Yuan Yilang finally softened his heart.

Although he really doesn't like comics, he won't stop his son from reading them just because he wants to.

My son is already exhausted from all the tutoring classes, and although comics are of little value, he doesn't mind letting him relax a little.

Rather, compared to those things, just the comics made him feel relieved.

"Okay, Daddy won't take yours, you see. But you have to promise me that you can't relax on your grades or anything like that."

"Dad?! Are you serious?!"

"Of course it's true. Your dad only hates comics because of work. Don't worry, just read it."

After comforting his son, Yuanyilang wanted to go out. At this time, he was sitting on the sofa at home, and suddenly he became curious. What kind of comics could make his son so fascinated?

"I remember that comic was called Parasyte? What a weird name."

In order to try to understand what his son really likes, Genichirō bought a set of Parasyte comics the next day and started reading them.

At first, Yuan Yilang didn't think much of it, thinking that a comic book couldn't be any different, and that it was just something that children would read for entertainment. But then, Yuan Yilang was deeply attracted by the content.

The weird picture gives people the first impression of distortion and horror.

Imagine that the person you are most familiar with has been replaced by a strange entity, but you have no idea.

However, this group of monsters regard humans as food. Faced with such a scenario, what choices will humans make?

From Izumi Shinichi's cowardice at the beginning, to his determination for revenge later on, to his understanding of the meaning of life.

Xiaoyou and Izumi Shinichi formed a friendship. In order to save Shinichi, Xiaoyou was willing to completely merge a part of himself with him.

The content to be expressed is far more than just entertainment.

It's not that Genichirō hasn't read comics before, but this is the first time he's seen a comic that reveals the complexity of human nature and contains scientific fantasy.

The private detective's family was destroyed while investigating a monster, and he was willing to sacrifice his own life to avenge his enemy.

These plots made Yuan Yilang feel like he was watching a science fiction masterpiece that explored human nature.

The philosophical thoughts contained in it made Yuan Yilang start to think, if he were in such a position, what choice would he make?

Is he like the private detective whose family was destroyed and who is desperate? Or is he as decadent as the protagonist's father?

All aspects of life are vividly reflected in a comic.

This comic is more than just entertainment.

Chapter 123: The Sudden End

Parasyte ended abruptly.

Compared to the ending of "Bloodlines", the ending of "Parasyte" can be described as calm and peaceful.

Of course, that can’t be said. The main reason is that the ending this time was too sudden. Even the readers didn’t have time to react. It ended just like that.

Many people thought that after defeating the final boss Goto, there would still be possibilities for other reversals, but it ended like this?

Especially the ending, which many people think is too hasty and inexplicable.

The strongest boss, Goto, a terrifying monster that even the human army was helpless against, was actually killed by the male protagonist with an iron stick in the end. Isn’t this too much of a stretch?

And what happened to You and Shinichi in the end? Did You come back? None of this was explained in the manga, it was like the story was cut short.

In the three days after the end, a large number of netizens posted on the forum, seemingly wanting to know the hidden story.

There was even a story circulating on the forum that Naoto was seriously ill and had no interest in drawing comics, so he had to be forced to finish it.

But amidst all the controversy, Naoto did not come out to explain anything, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him anymore.

It was not until the famous commentator Motoichiro Honda expressed his opinion that people finally understood Naoto's idea, but the industry was also directly exploded from another perspective.

Genichirō, who had served as a judge at various film events and awards, and who hated comics so much, actually expressed appreciation for a comic?

Although everyone once suspected whether this person was secretly satirizing something, at least in the eyes of outsiders, this guy was indeed praising the comic.

What on earth could have happened that made this stubborn guy appreciate a comic strip so much?

Out of curiosity, many people began to read this comment.

………………

“Parasyte is undoubtedly an extremely wonderful work. In fact, when I wrote this review, I did not expect that I would one day make such a review of a comic.

The first time I read this comic was because of my child who had just entered junior high school. In order to understand him better, I found this work and soon I was deeply attracted by the content.

The whole comic depicts a kind of parasite that will parasitize the human brain and control human behavior, turning it into a parasitic beast with its own thoughts. Not only that, its nature is to prey on humans. The male protagonist's right hand was devoured by the parasitic beast, causing it to merge with it and become a symbiotic state. It has become another existence sandwiched between humans and parasitic beasts.

The reason why I feel it is so wonderful is closely related to the content expressed in this comic itself.

A long time ago, I was troubled by the way humans exist. Humans are always self-centered, and always consider things to maximize their own interests. They trample all living things under their feet for their own enjoyment and service. Humans have also invented a word: "demon". It describes those cruel, ugly, bloodthirsty, murderous, and cold-blooded monsters. However, on this earth, is there anyone else who is closest to this word, except us humans?

Humans are the overlords of the earth, trampling over everything in the world. In the eyes of all things, we are not angels, but demons. The same is true in the eyes of the earth. We wantonly emit pollution and make the beautiful earth turbid. The earth seems to feel that humans need to be controlled, so it breeds parasitic animals to control the number of humans. The human physiological system can regulate human body functions. Sooner or later, the earth will also adjust the biological balance and control humans.

Human beings are the biggest destroyer of the entire ecosystem.

Many people don’t understand why Goto, who seemed invincible throughout the whole story, would lose his life because of a small iron thorn.

It is true that in the whole story, Goto is an extremely terrifying existence. He is cold-blooded and ruthless. He even replaced the upper echelons of human society and continued to climb up. He can ignore most of the weapons of mankind and even rely on his own wisdom to counter the plans of mankind.

Goto's strength even put the protagonist on the verge of death at one point.

It was such a person who died under a contaminated iron thorn. It was just a tiny bit of pollution caused by humans, but it was extremely poisonous to parasitic beasts. This was undoubtedly ironic.

I really like what Goto said:

When it comes to killing, no creature on Earth can compare to humans. But what you hold in your hands now is actually something else, used for something else important - to protect the balance of the biological world. This is what humans should have done. After a while, all humans should realize that the number of humans has reached a point where they must be reduced. Compared to killing people, littering is a greater sin. Then you will realize the importance of our parasites and even start to protect us. You have to pay more attention to your natural enemies. Then, this natural enemy can restore the beautiful nature to a stable state. Then the biological world will regain balance.

When I saw this, I suddenly realized that the so-called parasitic beast is not an alien life form at all. What it represents is the nature of the earth itself.

Humans have attracted parasitic beasts because of their excessive destruction of nature. No matter how powerful the enemy is, it is insignificant compared to polluting nature.

Thinking back to the Earth in the first episode, it turns out that this problem has been revealed to everyone from the very beginning.

Humans are hypocritical and cruel, willful and selfish. Isn't the self that Izumi Shinichi saw in the illusion a large parasitic beast?

Human beings are the biggest parasite to nature.

But even so, the comics still gave me a bright spot, that is the friendship between the protagonist and the parasite.

When humans finally understand the importance of protecting the environment, nature will return to the embrace of humans. Xiaoyou is the last hope that nature gives to humans. After reading it, I couldn't help but feel tears welling up in my eyes.

This story reveals the complexity of human nature through the protection of nature. It is a rare good story. If it is a science fiction novel, I personally think it is the most exciting science fiction novel in Japan in the past ten years.

No matter what, this comic is at least worthy of the Nebula Award, and I will at least vote for it when the Nebula Award comes."

After reading this review, readers seem to finally understand the whole story.

The foreshadowing was actually laid out from the very first chapter? Even the name of the comic itself was revealing the fact that humans were destroying nature?

This comic is actually an environmental cartoon?

This makes people sigh that Zhiren’s level is really amazing.

Chapter 124: Hachiman wants to write a novel

"Naoto-san! You're really amazing!"

"It's best to stay calm. Although I know you're amazing, you don't have to be so excited now, right? After all, it's been three days."

In the creative department, Kouma and Akito looked at Naoto with admiration. Although it felt great to have two fanboys, it had been so long, so the excitement should stop, right?

In fact, not only Akito and Tate, but everyone in the club who knew about Naoto's affair now had an expression of admiration on their faces.

Especially those who have watched the ending of Parasyte and understood it, all of them admire Naoto.

"Naoto-kun was able to impress Honda Motoichiro, you should be proud of it. Please don't underestimate yourself for such a thing."

At this time, even Yukino said to Naoto.

Yukino's admiration for Naoto is not only due to Honda Genichirō's evaluation, but also because Yukino was truly shocked by the meaning expressed in Parasyte.

In fact, Yukino herself seldom reads comics, but the feeling that Parasyte gave her was completely different. Unconsciously, even she was attracted by the content of the comics.

"Yeah, that's Honda Motoichiro! And he actually said he's going to give Parasyte a Nebula Award! Naoto-san, aren't you excited at all?"

"Excited? Okay, a little at first, but then I calmed down."

Naoto was a little uncomfortable with the way everyone looked. As expected, Naoto still liked everyone to be the way they usually were.

........................

"Naoto, are you free now?"

By the time lunch break came, Naoto was the only one left in the entire club.

At this time, Hachiman found Naoto and seemed to have something to say to him.

"Hmm? Hachiman? What's going on?"

Naoto asked in confusion when he saw his friend coming to see him.

"Well, actually, I want to write a novel. What do you think?"

"Hey?"

When Hachiman said he wanted to write a novel, Naoto was slightly stunned.

"Hachiman, why do you suddenly want to write a novel?"

Naoto looked at Hachiman with some suspicion. In Naoto's impression, Hachiman didn't seem to be someone who would take the initiative to work, right? Was it because of interest?

"Ah, well..."

Hachiman looked at Naoto somewhat embarrassedly. To be honest, the reason why he wanted to write a novel was actually partly due to Naoto.

As a genius in the humanities, Hachiman has read a lot of various types of literature.

But after reading Naoto's comics recently, Hachiman felt greatly shocked. It turns out that creation could be like this?

After reading the comics, Hachiman felt as if something in his heart had awakened, and he couldn't wait to create something.

Especially when he saw the other people in the creative department, each of whom was working hard to express his or her ideas in his or her works, Hachiman seemed to finally know what he wanted to do.

But I have no experience, so I want to consult everyone's ideas.

"I see. Then, how about trying light novels first?"

Naoto thought Hachiman's idea was pretty good.

It is a novel genre originating from Neon, which can be simply understood literally as "a novel that can be easily read."

Light novels are novels that are packaged with a specific storytelling technique, and the characteristic of this technique is to improve the efficiency of conveying the story to readers. Its main readership is teenage boys and girls, middle school students, and anime fans, and it often uses anime-style drawings as illustrations.

As one of the four pillars of the ACG field, light novels have become as big as comics after their development in recent years.

Works like the famous Sword Art Online and Magical Index are widely popular, and even most cartoonists cannot compare to them.

And because the entry threshold for light novels is relatively low, the group of light novel writers is much larger than that of cartoonists.

Although the quality of light novels varies, with the development of the Internet in recent years, they can be serialized online. Generally speaking, it is much easier than cartooning.

Currently, the famous publishing houses in Japan include Dengeki Bunko and Kadokawa. Although the three major comic publishing houses have also made their mark in this field, they are no match for these two giants.

"So, what kind of novel do you want to write, Hachiman?"

Naoto naturally had no worries about Hachiman's writing style. If one were to say what Hachiman's greatest strength was, it would be that he had a very clear view of life, often said shocking things, and had a unique way of dealing with people.

As the second place winner of the essay contest, Naoto was quite curious about what kind of work Hachiman would create.

"What kind of work is it? Although I have a general idea, I don't know what it will be like."

"Don't worry about this kind of thing, Hachiman. In fact, I thought the same thing when I submitted my first work, but if you think about it carefully, what's the meaning of life if you don't even dare to do it? If you don't try, you won't know where your limits are. Submit your work first, I believe you can create a good work."

"Naoto… I understand."

With Naoto's encouragement, Hachiman no longer hesitated.
