The chapters of the Parasyte manga series were written and illustrated by Hitoshi Iwaaki. The manga was first published for three chapters in the special issue of Kodansha's Morning, Morning Open Zōkan, from the F to H issues (August 1–October 3, 1989, issues). The series was later transferred to the publisher's Monthly Afternoon on November 25, 1989, and finished on December 24, 1994. Its chapters were collected into ten tankōbon volumes by Kodansha, and was later republished in eight kanzenban volumes.
It was originally licensed for English translation and North American distribution by Tokyopop, which published the series over 12 volumes. The Tokyopop version ran in Mixxzine. Daily pages from the Tokyopop version ran in the Japanimation Station, a service accessible to users of America Online. The Tokyopop English-language manga went out of print on May 2, 2005. Del Rey Manga later acquired the rights to the series, and published eight volumes following the kanzenban release. Kodansha USA later republished the volumes in North America between 2011 and 2012.
Two tribute manga volumes (Neo Parasyte m and Neo Parasyte f) collecting short stories by various authors were published in 2015 and 2016 (2016 and 2017 in English).
