Afterword
If the persuasive power of a novel comes from its style, the persuasive power of a manga comes from its drawings. It's all about what kind of pictures you can present before the reader's eyes. The persuasiveness of those drawings is the persuasiveness of the manga itself. The small details fade away.
In that regard, when I laid eyes on the drawing of the Baoh parasite, I was struck by its eeriness—in other words, its persuasive power. When the reader is presented with such a drawing, they simply have to trust the author. Masaki Yamada once wrote that "science fiction is description," and I believe that manga is a form of description as well.
A sequel to this story will undoubtedly have to be drawn before long.小説の説得力が"文体"によって生まれるのなら、漫画の説得力は"絵"であると思う。どのような"絵"を読者の目の前に差し出せるかである。その"絵"の説得力が、そのまま、その漫画の持つ説得力になる。小さな理屈はどこかに消えてしまう。
そういう意味で、寄生虫であるバオーの"絵"を見た時、その不気味さ、つまり説得力にぼくはうなってしまった。このような"絵"を見せられれば、読者はその作家信用してしまうのである。「SFは描写だ」と、山田正紀氏（SF作家）が何かに書いていたが、漫画も描写であるとぼくは思う。
