Mushi-shi: The Shadow that Devours the Sun

A rare midday solar eclipse draws an entire rural community outside, captivated by a long-held rumor: for a fleeting moment, ordinary people might be able to see Mushi. The countryside falls silent in shared wonder, while those familiar with these mysterious beings brace themselves for what could follow.

Guided by a prediction from Tanyuu Karibusa—the cursed recorder—Mushishi Ginko arrives at an ill-fated farming village. When the eclipse ends, an unnatural black cloud gathers and blots out the sun again, threatening to plunge the area into ongoing darkness. Believing the phenomenon is tied to a Mushi called Hihami, Ginko works to restore daylight, only to find that some villagers may not want the light to return.
