Mushishi Collector's Edition 2

Om boken

The beloved fantasy manga returns in a hardcover omnibus edition featuring a completely original translation and new cover designs. Before life as we know it, there existed entities that don't obey the laws of our reality—primordial beings known as mushi. In Japan, a man named Ginko wanders the land, investigating incursions by mushi into the human world—and by us into theirs. He is a mushi master…a mushishi. Includes Japanese volumes 3-4 in a premium casewrap hardcover featuring a new to English cover illustration. Though invisible to most, tiny creatures known as mushi lurk beneath the surface of everyday reality. They exert a strange and occasionally terrifying influence on people's lives, and only experts known as mushi-shi carry the knowledge of how to deal with them. A mushi-shi named Ginko wanders the Japanese countryside, following rumors of various unusual occurrences: a young man who dreams the future; a child with horns growing from his forehead; a boy with the power to write creatures into being; and more... The series earned global acclaim for its poetic episodic storytelling and delicate, beautiful artwork, winning the Japan Media Arts Prize and selection as a Best Manga by the Japan Agency for Cultural Affairs. The series inspired two TV anime adaptations and a live-action film directed by Katsuhiro Otomo, creator of AKIRA.
