THERE ARE SOME YOU CAN SEE, and some you cannot. Mushi are a different kind of life—ones that Ginko, a mushishi, travels across the land seeking to decipher their ways. Some mushi can affect a person's body, causing a rust-like feeling in their limbs that ache without any rhyme or reason. Others can mystify a person's passage of time when enshrouded in an eerie sea mist. While Ginko observes and deducts how to live with mushi, it is when a boy finds a false spring in the barren winter landscape that Ginko may also come dangerously close to crossing to the other side. CONTAINS VOLUMES 3 AND 4
