In this special episode, Xan is joined by Gretta to revisit a true classic: Mushishi by Yuki Urushibara. Originally reviewed in Episode 120, does this beloved fantasy mystery about a wandering "Mushi Master" hold up after all these years? We examine the beautiful new Kodansha Collector's Edition to see if it's the definitive way to own this atmospheric and philosophical series.
In This Nostalgic Episode:
A fresh look at Ginko's journeys and the ethereal world of the Mushi.
Is the new Collector's Edition worth the upgrade over the original prints?
Does Xan's original review from 120 episodes ago still stand?
The latest manga news and Gretta's new obsession with Murder, She Wrote.
