Director Yeon shared: 'To me, [the manga] is about coexistence. So I wanted to echo this theme. 

'I questioned whether people could peacefully coexist with other organisms or mutants unlike themselves.

'Gray could mean the mixture of these two different kinds of agents. That’s why we named the task force, the Grey.

'The color also signifies the duality of coexistence. The original work talks about the theme of coexistence, and we wanted to delve into that [idea of] coexistence between people, human beings, and parasites.

'And the lead character, Su-in, is also in the gray area between the human world and the parasite world.'

Yeon continued: 'In my 20s, [the manga] was a staple for those of us who were passionate about manga and animation.

'This is my favorite, favorite work that I’ve been fanboying all my life. [Parasyte: The Grey] is the culmination of my fanboying.

'In terms of genre, we call it body snatcher genre. Body snatcher basically means that these beings that we know to be very ordinary, turn out to be something completely different.

'[Parasyte: The Grey] really deals with that intense horror of finding that out.

'In the series, the parasitic creatures shape-shift into tentacle-faced monsters. The face literally opens. 

'I've done quite a number of creature works or monster genres, but in the past, those creatures within a particular project tend to have a uniform look. This time around, each of them [is] very different.'

Author Hitoshi shared: 'This new story taking place in a different location will lead us into a world beyond my imagination.'
