    Synopsis:

    Ginko is a wanderer dedicated to understanding the Mushi, enigmatic lifeforms subtly influencing human existence. He journeys across a rural landscape, responding to unusual occurrences – from localized temporal distortions and sentient shadows to instances of heightened empathy and inexplicable alterations to the natural world. Ginko doesn't simply eliminate these disturbances; he navigates the complex relationship between humans and Mushi, often acting as an interpreter of their intertwined fates.

    The series explores themes of consequence, acceptance, and the blurred boundaries between affliction and enhancement. Ginko’s role is not to provide simple solutions, but to facilitate a deeper understanding of how these encounters reshape lives, forcing individuals to confront unforeseen ramifications and grapple with the unsettling nature of existence itself. The atmosphere is contemplative, emphasizing the quiet beauty of the natural world alongside the uncanny presence of the unseen.
