    Synopsis:

    The world exists in a delicate balance, shaped by the presence of Mushi – entities often misunderstood and feared by humans. These beings, sometimes causing unforeseen consequences when disturbed, exist in a realm largely unseen yet deeply intertwined with the natural world. Following the paths of Ginko, a Mushishi, this series explores the intricate relationships between humanity and the Mushi.

    Ginko journeys through diverse landscapes, encountering individuals profoundly affected by the Mushi’s presence – some burdened by affliction, others finding unique connections. The narrative delves into the ethical complexities of interacting with the unseen, questioning humanity's capacity to navigate a world where the boundaries between the visible and invisible are constantly shifting. Through these encounters, Ginko grapples with his role as an intermediary, facing the difficult choice of whether intervention truly serves harmony or disrupts a fragile ecosystem.
