"Mushi" is the simplest form of life in the world. They exist without any purpose or goal except for "being". They are beyond the bounds of "good" and "evil". Mushi can exist in numerous forms and have the ability to imitate aspects of nature such as plants, diseases, and even phenomena like rainbows. However, this is a vague definition of this turbulent world "Mushi-shi", to the extent that referring to them as a type of life is oversimplification. Details about Mushi are scattered, as most people are unaware of their existence. So, what is Mushi and why do they exist? This is a question that a Mushi-shi, Ginko, constantly ponders. Mushi-shi are those who investigate their place in the hierarchy of life in pursuit of understanding. Ginko pursues rumors that may be related to Mushi's presence. Only to find an answer. Ultimately, this can even lead to the meaning of one's own life...
