Plot[]
Mushi are ethereal organisms comprised of and related to the source of all life. Their very existence is enough to spur on supernatural phenomena. Ginko is a Mushi-shi, one who investigates and counteracts the ill-effects of mushi encounters/infestations. As Ginko wanders from town to town learning more of the mushi and helping those in his wake; we learn of the fate that brought him into his present circumstances.
