Parasyte, Volume 5 by Hitoshi Iwaaki
3.0

Another solid Volume but felt like a lot of padding. Especially with the detective. Interesting (and has a hell of a payoff) but it felt a little long and didn't really give any sort of excitement. So that part of the volume (Which is a good portion) felt a little poor.

On the flip-side the whole being chased by a new type of Parasyte it was engaging (kind of funny) and scary. I really loved the whole chase and the fight itself was both entertaining and horrifying. Overall it's a solid volume that could have been "GREAT" without the detective line.
