A touch of manga

A Japanese film based on the Parasyte series makes a rare entry, Xu Fan reports.

Many Chinese movie buffs' first reaction upon hearing that the Japanese movie Parasyte will be screened across the Chinese mainland was: "Really?"

Written and illustrated by Hitoshi Iwaaki, the Parasyte manga series of sci-fi horror was originally published in magazines from 1988 to 1995, and more recently adapted into two live-action films.
