Neither good nor evil, they are life in its purest form. Vulgar and strange, they have inspired fear in humans since the dawn of time and have, over the ages, come to be known as "mushi." 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.

Some live in the deep darkness behind your eyelids. Some eat silence. Some thoughtlessly kill. Some simply drive men mad. They are known as mushi—creatures that came into being shortly after life emerged from the primordial ooze. They still exist parallel to our own lives and can only be seen by a select few. As a mushishi, Ginko is one of the few who are aware of their existense, and this young man with a sardonic smile roams from place to place with the knowledge and skill to aid those unwittingly affected by mushi.

They existed long before anyone can remember. They are simple and strange in nature, not resembling any other plant or animal in this world. In ancient times, people revered these bizarre creatures and called them "Mushi." 
 
People once again began to believe in the existence of these "Mushi" when they began affecting their lives in inexplicable ways. 
 
The one who connects the world of "Mushi" to the world of humans—they were called the "Mushi-shi." 
 
All life exists not to hinder others in this world. 
 
They are simply there to live as they were meant to.

Seven years since the rare solar eclipse occurred, Adashino continues to assist those in medical need. After visiting a patient at a beachside home, the tactful doctor notices a shadow resembling a bird. This spontaneous sighting leads Adashino to reminisce about a story Ginko once told him about a Mushi that assumes the same form. Such a revelation, however, may lead to false optimism.
