Synopsis
The narrative of Mushi-uta unfolds in the not-so-distant future. A decade prior to the events, mysterious insect-like beings dubbed "Mushi" started to emerge. These Mushi have the ability to devour people's dreams and thoughts in exchange for granting them supernatural abilities. By the conclusion of the first episode, the main character, Daisuke "Kakkou" Kusuriya, meets a young girl named Shiika Anmoto. Over time, the two grow very close. Yet, Kakkou is unaware that Shiika is a fugitive from a clandestine facility called GARDEN, where individuals infected by the Mushi—known as Mushitsuki—are confined. The military division of GARDEN, the Special Environmental Conservation Executive Office, dispatches their most skilled assassin to capture Shiika. However, they encounter opposition from the Mushibane resistance group, led by the mysterious figure known as "Ladybird."
