Mushishi Collector´s Edition 2 (2026)

This hardcover omnibus edition of the beloved fantasy manga features a completely original translation, new cover designs, colour pages and cover illustrations not previously seen in the United States. Before life as we know it, entities known as mushi existed—primordial beings that do not obey the laws of our reality. Invisible to most people, these tiny creatures lurk beneath everyday life and exert strange, sometimes terrifying influences on human existence. Ginko, a mushi master, wanders the Japanese countryside investigating rumours of unusual occurrences: a young man who dreams the future, a child with horns growing from his forehead, a boy who can write creatures into being, and more. This edition includes the Japanese volumes 3 and 4 in a premium casewrap hardcover. Mushishi is known for its poetic episodic storytelling and delicate artwork. The series won the Japan Media Arts Prize, was selected as a Best Manga by the Japan Agency for Cultural Affairs and was recommended as a top read for teenagers by the American Library Association. It inspired two television anime adaptations and a live-action film directed by Katsuhiro Otomo. The manga is in English.
