Mushishi Collector's Edition

Though invisible to most, tiny creatures known as mushi lurk beneath the surface of everyday reality. They exert a strange and occasionally terrifying influence on people’s lives, and only experts known as mushishi carry the knowledge of how to deal with them. A mushishi named Ginko wanders the Japanese countryside, following rumors of various unusual occurences: a young man who dreams the future; a child with horns growing from his forehead; a boy with the power to write creatures into being; and more…

CONTAINS VOLUMES 1 AND 2

THERE ARE SOME YOU CAN SEE, and some you cannot. Mushi are a different kind of life—ones that Ginko, a mushishi, travels across the land seeking to decipher their ways. Some mushi can affect a person’s body, causing a rust-like feeling in their limbs that ache without any rhyme or reason. Others can mystify a person’s passage of time when enshrouded in an eerie sea mist. While Ginko observes and deducts how to live with mushi, it is when a boy finds a false spring in the barren winter landscape that Ginko may also come dangerously close to crossing to the other side.

CONTAINS VOLUMES 3 AND 4

THE LINE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH IS BLURRED, especially when mushi—a different form of life—appears. Ginko, a mushishi who wanders the land in search of learning about the many curiosities of mushi, visits an island where a woman’s child may be the rebirth of her late mother. Life cycles repeat in an eerie manner where daughter becomes mother and mother becomes daughter. The ways mushi play in human lives—whether they are a good thing—is a mystery that Ginko works to figure out. CONTAINS VOLUMES 5 AND 6
