Mushi Shi, Vol. 3 by Yuki Urushibara

4.0

This has to be my favorite thus far. Though I'm sure that could change as soon as I read the next one, since they do seem to grow in my appreciation more and more as I read on. I was so bored with manga in general when I started to read this series, I just picked it up on a whim, drawn by the cover art and thinking that it could be no worse than some of the other things I had picked up recently. I couldn't have imagined at that point the world that would suck me in so completely. I now have to pace myself as if rationing the last candy bar after the apocalypse. I love the glimpse into Ginko's past, it's just so sad that he had this woman whom he admired and loved and now cannot even recall his own name let alone remember her. I love how the mist was displayed and how this story relates back to the story about the blind girl. Although you could just grab any volume of the series to start since they all are pretty self-contained, I think that it is best to start at the beginning, so that you build up a curiosity about Ginko which, I'm hoping, will be answered bit by bit throughout the rest of the series.
