Throughout the Del Rey Manga books, you will find Japanese honorifics left
intact in the translations. For those not familiar with how the Japanese use
honorifics and, more important, how they differ from American honorifics,
we present this brief overview.
Politeness has always been a critical facet of Japanese culture. Ever
since the feudal era, when Japan was a highly stratified society, use of
honorifics—which can be defined as polite speech that indicates relationship
or status—has played an essential role in the Japanese language. When
addressing someone in Japanese, an honorific usually takes the form of
a suffix attached to one's name (example: "Asuna-san"), is used as a title
at the end of one's name, or appears in place of the name itself (example:
"Negi-sensei" or simply “Sensei!”).
Honorifics can be expressions of respect or endearment. In the context
of manga and anime, honorifics give insight into the nature ofthe relationship
between characters. Many English translations leave out these important
honorifics and therefore distort the feel of the original Japanese. Because
Japanese honorifics contain nuances that English honorifics lack, it is our
policy at Del Rey not to translate them. Here, instead, is a guide to some of
the honorifics you may encounter in Del Rey Manga.

-San: This is the most common honorific and is equivalent to Mr.,

Miss, Ms., or Mrs. It is the all-purpose honorific and can be
used in any situation where politeness is required.

“вата: This is one level higher than “-зап” апа is used to confer great
respect.

-dono: This comes from the word "tono," which means "lord." It is
even a higher level than "-sama" and confers utmost respect.

“Кип: This suffix is used at the end of boys' names to express

familiarity or endearment. It is also sometimes used by men
among friends, or when addressing someone younger or of a
lower station.
-chan: This is used to express endearment, mostly toward girls. It is
also used for little boys, pets, and even among lovers. It gives
a sense of childish cuteness.

This is an informal way to refer to a boy, similar to the English

terms “kid” and “squirt.”

Sempai/
Senpai: This title suggests that the addressee is one’s senior in a group
or organization. It is most often used in a school setting, where
underclassmen refer to their upperclassmen as "sempai." It
can also be used in the workplace, such as when a newer
employee addresses an employee who has seniority in the
company.

This is the opposite of "sempai," and is used toward

underclassmen in school or newcomers in the workplace. |
connotes that the addressee is of a lower station.

Sensei: Literally meaning “опе who has come before,” this title is used
for teachers, doctors, or masters of any profession or art.

-[blank]: This is usually forgotten in these lists, but it is perhaps the most
significant difference between Japanese and English. The
lack of honorific means that the speaker has permission to
address the person in a very intimate way. Usually, only fam-
Пу, spouses, or very close friends have this kind of permis-
sion. Known as yobisute, it can be gratifying when someone
who has earned the intimacy starts to call one by one's name
without an honorific. But when that intimacy hasn't been
earned, it can be very insulting.

 From the Monthly Afternoon Readers page... |
PARASYTE [PERFECT EDITION] 1 vol

“| hate the horror and splatter genres, but oddly, | enjoy Parasyte. As
the human population continues to expand, something like this might
actually happen. It isn't just scary; it also makes us think. And it's also
funny, which makes it a book | can't put down." (Kanagawa Prefecture,
Kuroda Hisa, 30, Office Worker)

"Parasyte is really fun! | was amazed when the dog turned into some
sort of bat! Shinichi and Migi's strange relationship is also neat. All hail
Iwaaki-shi's ideas!" (Tokyo, Shiyotsuru Maiwa, 26, Office Worker)

^l began drawing this book when І wondered what would hap-

pen if living creatures besides humans, the lives we put so
little value in, were granted enormous power. Pay close atten-
tion to the parasite’s uncanny logic.” (Hitoshi Iwaaki)
(From Morning Open Extra H, October 3, 1989)

"Will humans eventually consume the Earth? With that thought in

mind, the belief that the parasites are evil is nothing more than human
selfishness." (Saitama Prefecture, Tachi Chitchi, 22, Student)

"The future of mankind, unable to feel even a little pain, is..." (Ibaraki
Prefecture, Nakai Yuusuke, 26, Student)

^l think we also should be thinking about the future of man-

kind. But one human hoping for the happiness of all accom-
plishes nothing. The best we can do is look after our families,
neighbors, and any people or living things we come in contact
with. І think that's enough. Humanity will not be saved by sta-
tistics, but by the warmth of individuals." (Hitoshi Iwaaki)

CHAPTER 8: THE END

 From the Monthly Afternoon Readers page... 7
PARASYTE [PERFECT EDITION] 1 vol

“This impressed me more than any novel or movie. Not just sci-fi
horror—it made me think about the strengths and weaknesses of
mankind." (Hyogo Prefecture, Ikeda Nobuo, 33, Office Worker)

“| hope they make a movie out of Parasyte. | think Cronenberg could do

a great job with it." (Tokyo, Yuuji, 20, Student)
“Manga and movies each have their own essence and flexibil-
ity, so bad works can suddenly shine when filmed, or the other
way around.
“The movies 1 like tend to be like a single life-form from
beginning to end. Presumably the makers put their blood and
bodies into it, and captured the essence of the work. Without
passion, nothing good can be made." (Hitoshi Iwaaki)
(From Afternoon, August 1991)

"Reading Parasyte makes me think about human arrogance (toward

nature), makes me wonder if humans are denying the fact that they are
part of nature. Iwaaki-san, what do you think about artificial versus
natural?”
“The word ‘nature’ can mean many things. In the narrowest
sense of the word, then, artificial and natural are opposites.
The nature we humans are trying to protect fits that narrow
definition. But in the broader sense of the word, humans are
part of nature. Even if we become arrogant, pollute and de-
stroy the world, that is all part of nature.
“All we humans can do is protect nature as we would our-
selves.” (Hitoshi Iwaaki)

PARASUTE| THE END

Japanese is a tricky language for most Westerners, and translation is often more an art
than a science. For your edification and reading pleasure, here are notes on some of the
places where we could have gone in a different direction or where a Japanese cultural
reference is used.

Catalog, page 38

| Shinichi's mother is reading a furniture catalog here.

Mail-order furniture is much more popular in Japan
than in America, and most people order all their
furniture from catalogs.

Run-together text, page 42

52. | When the parasite repeats the news in the original

18 = “Ч Japanese, he doesn't use any kanji characters. The
ЗЕМТЕР (ж implication is that he is mouthing the sounds of
the language without registering their meaning.

More polite than it looks, page 46

MEANS IF YOU
AMPUTATE ME
\} /, Y
уе replaced the original line here. Migi’s choice
MAND DIE. (~ << 227 2 of personal pronouns has shifted from the rough,
| common ore to the polite, formal watashi. In the
original Japanese, Shinichi comments that the
polite watashi doesn't match Migi's face.
 Tsukahara Bokuden, page 56

Tsukahara Bokuden (name given in Japanese Ще“ THERE

order, 1489-1571) was a famed swordsman of 42-4 BOKUDEN/
the Sengoku Warring States Period. ` |

Migi, page 66

The word migi means "right." Parasyte was first

published in English by TokyoPop in a now-out-
of-print edition that “flipped” the original Japanese
artwork so that it would read left to right—which
meant that the parasite had to be named “Lefty”!
This Del Rey reissue restores the original orientation,
but even now that Migi is again truly on the right
side, "Righty" just doesn't sound right!

Killer's aura, page 117

The title of this chapter, “Satsuki,” is a great word that we just don't have
in English. Just before a human kills another, they emit satsuki, which skilled
fighters can sense. Later in the chapter this is shown as an insect hovering
behind them. l've translated this phrase as "killer's aura."

274
 Pain, pages 124, 141, 214

Both Migi and the lion killer use the

YOU FERR МЕ.
NO MAMMALS same expression, /tagariya, for someone
CRN TRKE who feels pain easily.
PRIN.

Recap, page 143

Parasyte began serialization in Morning (possibly Morning Special)

magazine and changed to Afternoon magazine a few issues later,
presumably with this issue. Hence the opening recap.

Roaches, page 152

Japanese roaches are really, really big. They also

fly. When you try to kill them, they fly right into
your face, so you scream and fall over and give
them time to get away. Very effective technique.

VEL
yЕТ. H

275
 Spoiled, page 153
Iu REC 2 40014 EF WILL SHE ” M >
NEVER EP dd Y NOTHING
The original Japanese line—ojou-sama sodachi— Io - у I
: : : SPOILED RS | `
implies that Mom was raised by upper-class parents, вон? /
hence her fear of roaches. It also implies that even
though she's a mother now, she still hasn't fully
adjusted to her new life.

Tempura oil, page 269

That isn't water, but boiling oil. Far more

dangerous. Tempura is breaded and deep-fried
vegetables and shrimp, usually more delicate
than greasy. Try it sometime!

SOURE GOING THE WRONG WAY!
|
MANGA IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ТҮРЕ
OF READING EXPERIENCE.

TO START AT THE BEGINNING,

GO TO THE END!

THAT'S RIGHT!
AUTHENTIC MANGA IS READ THE TRADITIONAL JAPANESE WAY—
FROM RIGHT TO LEFT, EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF HOW AMERICAN
BOOKS ARE READ. IT'S EASY TO FOLLOW: JUST GO TO THE OTHER
END OF THE BOOK, AND READ EACH PAGE—AND EACH PANEL—
FROM RIGHT SIDE TO LEFT SIDE, STARTING AT THE TOP RIGHT.
NOW YOU'RE EXPERIENCING MANGA AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE.
