About
Mushishi (蟲師) is a manga series written and illustrated by Yuki Urushibara, published in Kodansha's Afternoon magazine. The story revolves around strange creatures called mushi (蟲) that can cause strange phenomena to the world and creatures around them. Only some can see the mushi, either by being born with the ability or by being affected by the mushi in some way. Some people, called mushi-shi, study to learn more about these creatures and about life itself. One such person is Ginko, the main character of the story, who travels and assists people plagued by mushi. Read more...
