Bonus Story 2/2Thanks for reading, see you tomorrow!Did that old guy really marry a 10 year old loli?
mushi
>>291822592Ahhh!!!!
I recently watched the first season of this anime and I loved it. The vibe is something else. Very calming and meditative, the soundtrack does a lot to achieve this. Remined me of the softer pieces in Naruto for some reason.Will watch the second season now.
>>291821634Oh hell no not this chapter...
>>291821854Pretty interesting concept, an island full of the same people over and over
>>291822330Thanks for dumping. This one might be favorite.>spoilerWhat, you don't think he's a total gentleman for waiting a whole decade?
>>291821864>Married her at 10 years oldOh boy
>>291821919This is such a complicated feeling, imagine raising your parents as your own kids, and according to this myth they will eventually become just like them as adults so nothing you can do will alter that, it would be so uncanny
>>291821964>I think its some kind of mushi but I can't prove it
>>291822031Ouch
>>291822178>>291822191>>291822202>>291822214Color kino
>>291822330Thanks OP
>>291823955I know right? I sometimes just pick a random anime episode and sink deep into the experience.

>>291828381
>>291822330Thank you for posting, OP!
>>291825057hehe
can you share your process for scanning this? I just started reading Blade of the Immortal and the english version almost completely ruins the flow of the story not to mention I've heard the english translation itself isn't great. I was thinking about buying a set of the Spanish or German perfect editions and scanlating them but I'm not sure how to go about it
>>291834334I think OP's dumping the digital version, so nothing was scanned.
>>291821688>it's how I make a livingHave we ever actually seen anyone pay Ginko?
>>291822178>>291822191Try to read without screaming KINO challenge
>>291834973KINO
>>291835457Anon wins.
>>291834753didnt he make a living from trading mushi things
>>291821788...does the thing made her pregnant or did she need to get impregnated thru other means so that the thing can hijack the baby
>>291838125Become mushi keeper and trader.
>>291838179I believe it magically makes her pregnant.

>>291834334OP here, i am just posting the officially released Collector's Edition that is being sold digitally as well as physically. The new professional translation is one of the selling points.These are very low effort threads, sorry i can't help
>>291821700Lol

>>291799284I didn't get it. Who's the current guardian?
>>291844794I think by losing the light vein, the mountain has lost its capacity to have a guardian? But you could say that through his effort to revitalize the land and plant new trees, the human owner acts as the mountain's new non-supernatural guardian. And maybe if the land has healed, the light vein will flow again, the fish will get his crown back, and the man can rule his land in accordance with the guardian, like his father did.Maybe this is a comment on how rulers used to justify their worldly power, by treating it as a means to uphold a sacred spiritual order? Priesthood and nobility, but priest is fish?
CHAPTER 22: Sight Is a Bitter Blessing
>>291821560you don't tell me what to doI'll close my eyes
>>291821823ginko is very practical at times
>>291821964a mushi?? no way
CHAPTER 22, The End.Tell me anon, which fate would you prefer? To be able to see everything but change nothing... or to live freely in the darkness?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1Djh9GkN0Y
Translation notes concerning these pages:>>291845831>>291846095>>291846433I got Junji Ito vibes at the end there...Hope you enjoyed it, see you tomorrow!
>>291846482Thanks, OP
>>291844794The mountain is dead, there's no guardian
>>291845743Beautiful
>>291845786Hags are quick on the attack!
>>291846188Sad that Ginko will never recover those memories before that
>>291846346Pop
>>291846433>>291846453>>291846482Thanks OPI want to see the mushi forever!

This thread >>291813272 gave me an idea about doing a pilgrimage searching for the places that were inspired to make mushishi.
>>291858152That would be really cool.
>>291858152and anon was never seen again...
>>291821518Didn't we just have a Mushishi daily?
>>291859874No! I will make it! the mushi will not take me away!
>>291846000KINOOOOO
>>291860059This has been going on for about two weeks so maybe you mean this one.
>>291862013No, we did a Mushishi daily a while back. It's when I read through the manga.
>>291862077Anon that was years ago
>>291862361Fucking kill me
It could be mushi....watch yourselves
>>291862389Sounds like you were influenced by a Kairou. You're likely repeating your entire life in a fixed loop giving you a progressively stronger sense of deja vu.
C'mon!
>>291860059This daily has the new official translation.
>>291862389Alright drink this mushi
>>291862389Heres a mushi that makes you unable to die everEnjoy your dramatic backstory

CHAPTER 23: The Silk That Swathes the Mountain
CHAPTER 23, The End.I think we can be pretty confident that this really is still in the Edo period?And Ginko really scammed his buddy for a considerable amount of money there... What a dickhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iqn-_0h0j60
Translation Notes concerning these pages:>>291869980>>291870017>>291870136>>291870509I hope the girl eats lots of vegetables and the painter can forgive himself.See you tomorrow!
>>291870668Thanks, OP
>>291870668Thank you
>>291821518LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO.
Bumping for more readers.
>>291822178>>291845743>>291869993I love this manga's artwork so much.
>>291845743That's a weird stitch.
>>291869993>>291870000Beautiful
>>291870183>>291870172Ah fuck, this hits too close to home
>>291870244>>291870255>>291870266Not the mushi's fault
>>291870463>>291870474Ginko with the earth bending powers

Damn this is a nice song
Cheeky Ginko(SCAM ARTIST)
>>291879579The OST is excellent.
>>291870066Yeah, apprentice back there is less disciple and more handyman
>>291879629Ginko walks a thin line between someone legit and a scam artist
mushi + shi = mushishiThink about it.
>>291821788>>291821802I'm not sure, this one doesn't seem like the work of a mushi.
>>291821864Based gamer old man.
>>291821964There's no proof, you can't be sure.
>>291822031Fuck...
You know, when you think about it, it's pretty fucking wild Mushishi got completely adapted like ten years after the first season aired.
>>291846000Senrigan!
>>291887681This can't be tr->S1 aired in 2005
>>291887681>good thing happeningYeah I still can't believe it.
>>291887681And it was a great adaptation
>>291869993sounds like mushi to me
>>291821560Goddamn
>>291890023it was so good, it bankrupt the studio
>>291887681What was also really impressive to me is that sequels still managed to keep the fantastic art style of the first season even after a whole decade. It's really a one of a kind type of adaptation.
>>291890935Wait what??
CHAPTER 24: Journey Through the Field of Fire
>>291821518>brand new translationabsolutely dogshit, the original translation by william flanagan from nearly 2 decades ago was far better, including the notes at the back.
CHAPTER 24, The End.Wow, that woman didn't even try burning one weed, before condemning the whole mountain? And now she's a walking biohazard? And Ginko got roughed up for being a cheeky bastard lolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-h5SoGx81g
Translation Notes concerning these pages:>>291892462>>291892495Six more chapters to go, see you tomorrow!
>>291892191>absolutely dogshit, the original translation by william flanagan from nearly 2 decades ago was far better, including the notes at the back.Really, what's bad about this one? There was one really shittily translated chapter in the first CE book (the one on that island where a girl gets worshipped as a living god), but i would call everything else pretty solid. Then again, i don't know Japanese. If you can point out big mistakes, please do.Sometimes the whole meaning of sentences does change, check out picrel from the Flanagan translation, compared to >>291892708
>>291892191Here are the three appendix notes from the old translation (ignore the bottom one). It is weird that the new translation goes with "shadow fire" in this chapter, it rarely translates mushi names
>>291892841Thanks, OP
Bump for reading later
>>291893022The new version of that page is vastly better, anon must be tripping.
>>291890935It was worth it.
>>291887279>mushi have "death" in their name
>>291893022Old good new bad. Just ignore.
>>291892546holy fucking retard kek
>>291887279You might be unto something anon.

>>291896451
We should squeeze one more chapter in this thread.
>>291821518Thanks
>>291821518Is there any action in this manga?
>>291906152No, just mushi
>>291906975If I like Twin Peaks, will I like this?
>>291903548If it fits.
>>291899480kek
C'mon, don't give up!
>>29190903871 images left, why not
>>291907544Yes.
>>291907544You'll love it
>>291907544Recommend you check out The Soil too if you liked Twin Peaks.
>>291892099through the field of fire and the field of flames
>>291892148
>>291911620>>291912739>>291913135Ordered the first 3 volumes, thanks for the recommend
>>291913480Enjoy!
>>291913135it's just "Soil", not "The Soil" right?
>>291914433Yes, the soil might contain mushi
CHAPTER 25: The Dawn Serpent
CHAPTER 25, The EndMan you can tell Yuki Urushibara has had someone with dementia in her life. I think this is one of the best chapters so far. Sometimes you can't just pull out the magic powder and make the mushi go away.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFgRZCA6Lf4
Since this is the end of the original book 5, an appendix will follow:
Of course she wants to see slime mold specimens lol

Translation Notes concerning these pages 2/2:>>291914943>>291915232>>291915244Original book 5, The End. Book 6 still awaits!I will not be a retard this time, and make a new thread for the next 5 chapters. See you tomorrow!
>>291915365Thanks, OP
>>291914888is it really likely that these random peasants would be literate?
>>291915109It ate her pain.Killer chapter, one of the best volumes so far.
>>291892148Another bitch who doesn't listen to Ginko
>>291892342Ginko bantz
>>291892403>killing the mushitch tch tch
>>291914682>>291914695>>291914702Soooo beautiful
>>291915365Thanks, OP. See you tomorrow.
>>291914728Cute milf
>>291914931Eerie
>>291915024NO WOMAN
>>291914433Oh yeah, sorry about that.
>>291915150Fucked up shitRemember to hug your relatives>>291915200>>291915215Thanks OP
>>291914770>dementia chapterOh fuck me. Not my feels, please no.
>>291892099
>>291920001Damn, missed quads. Mushi are to blamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qap_6ln1JNM
>>291915244YOU SWINDLED ME>>291915289God, so beautiful
>>291915200Yeah that made me cry. Dementia goes in my extended family, right now my grandma, eventually my mother and then me. Its weird to see how the person who you knew isn't there anymore, but their soul is. Their innermost self or something, its hard to explain. All things, living or not, end eventually. Im glad it was there in the first place, if nothing else.
>>291920248Write everything down anon, good luck
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXfwfUKTIPs
>>291915608>is it really likely that these random peasants would be literate?Allegedly about half the men in the late Edo period were literate, at least in cities.The mother being a professional weaver and the father a merchant, makes it plausible that the boy would have had an education to help with business
I never would have known about the collector's edition if not for these threads.I can finally get a complete physical collection, I thought I'd be missing volume 6 forever.
>>291846038That's the same pattern as Biwa in Heike monogatari. Down to the eyes being the source.I know many blind people became musicians and storytellers in buddhist cultures, but is there some sort of association with Biwa players being able to see the past and future? I get the past part can be an extension of oral history, but is there something else to this?
>>291823955>Remined me of the softer pieces in Naruto for some reason.it's the same composer. Masuda Toshio
Let's let this thread die so OP can make a fresh one tomorow, that's the cycle of mushi
>>291915365Thank you for the daily mushi, OP.
>>291920945how much you spent?
>>291920248That's grim. I've seen something similar with brain cancer but it wasn't as protracted as dementia.
>>291920248I know the feeling. Stay strong anon
>>291915608One out of many villages? It's entirely possible.
>>291916424Can one truly kill mushi?
>>291930662
>>291930731I don't trust that. The mushi could be feigning death to trick you.
>>291914728Surely, it's not mushi this time.
>>291915200
>>291914745kani
>>291915200dementia fucking sucks dickI'm usually an optimist, but that is definitely an evil fucking illness
>>291931938Lmaoo
NEW THREAD>>291935659>>291935659>>291935659
>>291931852they actually evolve into Flows. sometimes Water.
>>291936412So even water is mushi? I should've known...
