About MUSHI-SHI

Looking for background on MUSHI-SHI (蟲師)? This adventure, fantasy and mystery series by Artland (2005) starts out like this. What the story covers: Neither good nor evil, they are life in its purest form. Vulgar and odd, they have inspired fear in humans since the dawn of time and have, over the ages, come to be known as "mushi.

Along the way, the stories of the Mushi and the people they affect are all linked together by a traveling Mushi-shi, or "Mushi Master," who seeks rare Mushi sightings and uses his shaman-like knowledge of Mushi to help the affected people. What are the Mushi and what do they want?

In an adventure series like this, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Ginko (Yuuto Nakano) and Adashino (Yuuji Ueda) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling, put it on your list. The run is 26 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
