Synopsis
Continues the story of Mushi-shi: Next Passage Part 1
In a world where the misshapen beings known as Mushi are regarded with fear and suspicion by humans, despite having no ill intent, the series "Mushishi Zoku Shou" follows Ginko, a Mushishi who works to help humans coexist peacefully with these mysterious creatures. Ginko's journeys bring him to various people whose lives are connected to the Mushi, some burdened by their presence and others maintaining a delicate balance. The story examines whether humanity, including both the blessed and the afflicted, can endure the weight of living alongside the unseen world. As a Mushishi, Ginko must also deepen his understanding of the Mushi and determine if he has the right to intervene in the complex relationships that develop between them and humans.
In this installment
In the world of Mushi-shi: Next Passage Part 2, the ancient and elusive beings known as Mushi continue to cause mysterious changes in human lives. The traveling Mushishi, Ginko, persists in addressing these perplexing and unnerving occurrences. From time loops to living shadows and mind-reading, the effects of Mushi interference are evident, yet Ginko also investigates more subtle signs that appear over extended periods as he moves between various communities. Accidentally, Ginko finds himself acting as a judge, determining whether Mushi are blessings or curses. However, the distinctions he tries to make are subjective. Some individuals prefer to utilize their newly acquired powers even as they are overwhelmed by them; others urgently wish to be rid of conditions that are, in fact, safeguarding them from disaster. Those who come into contact with Mushi must learn to reconcile with improbable consequences of their actions and mend wounds they were unaware of. Failure to do so may lead to incomprehensible fates.
