Parasyte chapter 2 is a bit all over the place - humor, splatter scenes, and sexual references which don’t at all represent the direction the rest of the series will go. But we see the parasyte in Shinichi’s hand, now called “Migi”, learn about his surroundings and Shinichi starting to become comfortable with the relationship… for now. Tim and Patrick try not to lose their hearts — literally — in this episode.
