totally agree, i don't mind Shinichi i actually hope he survives

Highly doubt they'll pull a Tokyo Ghoul and kill off the MC. Sure he took a shot to the heart region but we don't know what these parasites are capable of in terms of relocating and/or providing support to the body, especially when Migi depends on dude's survival.

Parasyte concerns itself with exploring what it means to be human (particularly so in relation to other species).
If you don't like the fact that the protagonist experiences human emotions, such as fear, doubt, disbelief, etc, you're going to have a bad time.
Go watch something else.
Well put; it's easy to sit back and call these dudes pussies or nerds or cowards but think about it: seventeen year old kid, normal life, now dealing with alien threats and a weapon as a right hand, as it stands he couldnt've beat up those gangsters and had he gone ham Migi probably would've killed them.
