Synopsis

Mushi are beings that cannot be called animals, plants, insects, spirits or anything like that. They exist in a variety of ways in the world. They live in cities, nature, in water or in the air, as well as alongside plants, animals and humans. Some accidentally, some purposefully, find contact with humans and form a bond that can be both good and bad for them. The protagonist, Ginko, is a Mushi master. He collects information and, on his forays through the country, often saves the lives of people afflicted by mushi … or at least frees them from an unpleasant situation caused by mushi.
