In a world that exists somewhere between reality and fantasy, there are creatures called "Mushi." These ethereal beings are neither plants nor animals, but lifeforms beyond our comprehension, existing in a realm invisible to most humans. They embody the purest forms of life and, often, they unknowingly affect the human world in mysterious and sometimes dangerous ways.
Enter Ginko, a Mushi Master or "Mushishi," who travels from village to village, studying Mushi and helping people who are troubled by them.

Whether it's a village plagued by a Mushi that causes eternal sleep, a girl whose hearing becomes supernaturally acute due to a Mushi living in her ear, or a boy who can create life through his drawings, Ginko's journeys reveal the delicate balance between humans and Mushi.
Through his travels, Ginko not only aids those affected by Mushi but also gains a deeper understanding of the world and himself. The series explores themes of nature, existence, and the interconnectedness of all living things. The stories are hauntingly beautiful, often evoking a sense of melancholy and wonder.

Synopsis:
One ordinary day at Yamato Elementary School, an inexplicable phenomenon occurs. The entire school building, along with its students and staff, is suddenly transported to a desolate wasteland. The familiar cityscape of Tokyo has vanished, replaced by an eerie, barren landscape with no signs of life.
The students and teachers, initially in shock and disbelief, must quickly confront their new reality. Supplies are limited, and the environment is harsh and unforgiving. Tensions rise as the survivors struggle to understand what has happened and how they can survive in this hostile world. The once orderly school descends into chaos as fear and desperation take hold.
Sho Takamatsu, a sixth-grader, emerges as an unexpected leader among the students. Determined to protect his friends and find a way back home, Sho navigates the growing madness and despair. Alongside him are his classmates, each grappling with their own fears and inner demons. The adults, overwhelmed and often succumbing to panic, are not always a source of stability.
As they explore their surroundings, the survivors encounter terrifying creatures and mysterious phenomena, suggesting that they may not be in any ordinary wasteland but a future devastated by some unknown catastrophe. Sho and his friends must confront not only external threats but also the darker aspects of human nature as alliances form and fracture.

Synopsis:
One night, strange worm-like creatures called Parasites descend upon Earth. These extraterrestrial beings burrow into the brains of unsuspecting humans, taking over their bodies and turning them into monstrous predators that feed on other humans. The world remains largely oblivious to this silent invasion, as the Parasites adeptly disguise themselves as their hosts.
Seventeen-year-old Shinichi Izumi becomes an unlikely hero when a Parasite attempts to take over his body but fails to reach his brain. Instead, it lodges itself in his right hand. The Parasite, which he names Migi (meaning "right" in Japanese), retains its consciousness and personality separate from Shinichi. Unlike other Parasites, Migi cannot control Shinichi's body, and the two are forced into an uneasy coexistence.
As Shinichi and Migi navigate their symbiotic relationship, they face a series of harrowing challenges. Shinichi must maintain his humanity while possessing extraordinary abilities granted by Migi's presence. Together, they confront other Parasites who pose a deadly threat to humanity. These encounters push Shinichi to his physical and emotional limits, as he grapples with questions of morality, identity, and survival.
The story delves into the nature of human existence and the ethical implications of the Parasite invasion. It explores themes of empathy, coexistence, and the blurred line between predator and prey. Shinichi's transformation, both physically and psychologically, is central to the narrative, as he struggles with his evolving sense of self and his place in a world that is becoming increasingly alien.
