Reseña de la Serie Completa
"En este mundo todos tenemos un lugar. El mundo entero es tu lugar."
Mushishi es una exploración melancólica de lo bello y, a la vez, terrible que puede ser la vida. La atmosfera de cada una de las historias es bellísima. Llenas de espiritualidad y colores que nos hacen pensar en la importancia de la existencia humana y el tiempo que dura.
Mushishi es una colección de viñetas acerca de lo bello, dulce y triste que es la transitoriedad de la vida. Cada historia desborda amor, perdida, duelo, alegría y la condición humana. Mentiría si dijera que no fui conmovido al borde de las lágrimas más de una vez.
Ginko se ha convertido en uno de mis protagonistas favoritos al siempre buscar hacer el bien y ayudar a los demás aun cuando ya están mas allá de la muerte. Su gentil masculinidad es una de las cualidades que aspiro a exudar. Su función es la de un forastero que llega a encontrarse en una nueva situación sobrenatural en cada capítulo. Su curiosidad lo guía a hallarse en lugares y situaciones en las que no tiene necesidad de estar (aun siendo un Mushi). Es así que Ginko nos guía paso a paso a través de los fantásticos efectos que los Mushi tienen sobre el entorno en que se encuentran. Y es así que vemos su tenacidad; su calma; su inteligencia; su sinceridad; su valentía; su capacidad de preocuparse y lo profundo que es su amor por la vida misma.
Todo lo que un ser vivo quiere hacer es existir. Vivir. Experimentar lo que el mundo tiende por ofrecer. Es por esto que es bello ver como Ginko no trata a los Mushi como demonios antagonistas de los cuales deshacerse. No. Para el, son una parte del ciclo de la vida. Son criaturas que tienen un lugar sobre la Tierra. Es parte de lo que la historia quiere decir, en mi opinión. El respetar a la naturaleza es entender nuestro lugar en ella. Nuestra relación con la Tierra y todos los seres que la habitan. Especialmente los lazos que formamos entre personas.
Leer Mushishi es encontrase en ese mágico y breve intervalo de tiempo en el que comienza a amanecer, el cielo es claro y la gente comienza sus actividades diarias. Es añorar volver a casa. Sentir nostalgia por los días que hemos vivido y por todo lo que no. Es como un despertar.

mehsi's review against another edition

A beautiful world and we follow a mushishi who walks through the country helping out people.
I just ADORE AND LOVE this series so much. Not just the manga, but also the anime. I thought it was high time to get on re-reading (and re-watching) the series again. It is such a beautiful series and I wanted to get lost in the world again. See Ginko and see what he encounters on his journeys across the land. And of course, I am looking forward to seeing Ginko's past unfold again, because Ginko has experienced many things in his life which brings him closer to mushi.
The manga is pretty much episodic, each chapter features a new kind of mushi, new characters, and a new chance for Ginko to save the day/help out people. I loved seeing Ginko travel through the world and see how he helped out people and what he asks back from them (I always loved that he never required a lot back and often what he got back had to do with the case he was involved with at the moment (like the sake bowl)).
Each case was very interesting to read and I was curious to see how it all started, how things got worse, and how Ginko will help out. Plus, what we will learn of each new mushi, as each one has a whole story, a whole terminology about it. Will people accept his help? Well, for most they do. Which made me happy. It mustn't be easy living in a world with invisible (for most at least) beings that may do things to the human body that may not always be kind or friendly. I can just imagine how scary it is if you keep hearing voices.. or if the dreams you dream come true.. and not in the good way.
I loved that Ginko always talked and treated the mushi with fairness and in a way that it wasn't their fault. He always has an explanation for why they do what they do. And that they often just as eagerly want to leave the human body.
Most of the stories had me feeling quite emotional due to what happens there. For instance the story about the boy who had horns and heard noises, but also the man whose dreams came true. I just felt for those characters so much. They had to suffer so much. :(
The art is quite pretty and then especially the backgrounds. I do know that the style gets better with each volume.
All in all, highly recommended if you are looking for a gorgeous slice of life with fantasy setting and fantastic stories and characters.

Genial como esta reelectura me sigue sorprendiendo. Mas allá de fantasía hay temas bastantes reflexivos en estas historias.

Ooh, this was good- like a less crazy Black Jack of the supernatural. I could see it getting old over time, but for now, I'll keep reading.

Dry. Translation is kind of not-great. The animated series handled itself better.

This is a very dense story. I don’t dislike it but I don’t feel the need to keep reading. I don’t really have a connection to mushi so reading these stories does nothing for me.

This is a fun series which I was first introduced to via a season on Netflix. I realized it was a comic while reading a POC women comic authors you should be reading list. These are fun tales which even when there is drama always feel very calm and peaceful.
