Oops, this needed to go back to the library.
I think I'm losing interest, sadly. The mushi are still amazing, and the artwork is sweet--and it's still got that touch of human nature. The whole thing is excellently done. But the lack of a coherent storyline or a character arc is leaving me not caring about what happens next.
It's very much like a TV series in that regard. Who was that masked man, anyway? Ginko comes to town, identifies the mushi, helps deal with them, and then the people either respond well or they don't--but that's not up to him. He has to keep moving, so he does.
Like I said, it's a well-wrought series, and it's really excellent. I'm just not feeling a connection with it right now. I have the fifth book from the library and will read that, but I may not be requesting the sixth.

Todas las historias de Mushi tienen lo suyo, desde las que son intrigantes, las tragicas, las tristes, y las esperanzadoras.
Un muy buen volumen, y el conjunto y orden de las historias va muy bien

Great !

The previous volumes were filled with more horror imagery, this one is more peaceful and happy, as it seems.

Mushi-shi is my favourite manga and anime of all time. It's so calm and wholesome.
While I barely read manga's, this one was so magical and I read all of the installments in one go. So beautifully drawn and atmospherically written. My inner-biologist-self loves the mushi, even though they're fictional they are based on bacteria. It's a little slow paced so beware if you're bored quickly. :p

I love manga that I can read in about an hour or two. This one was great. I think my favorite was the cocoon story. I look forward to vol. 5.

Je continue à chaque tome, avec bonheur, mon voyage sur les chemins sombrement enchantés de ces forêts japonaises peuplées de créatures offrant des aventures douces-amères à ceux qui les croisent.
Mushishi est vraiment une lecture qui se déguste au fil des mois et des saisons, à un rythme lent et entêtant, avec nostalgie et mélancolie. Ce n’est pas une lecture addictive mais une lecture où on prend plaisir à y retourner tranquillement à chaque fois pour découvrir la nouvelle histoire qui nous attend et les nouveaux drames en jeu auxquels notre héros va être confronté comme témoin indirect.
Dans ce nouveau tome aux couleurs de l’automne, cinq nouvelles histoires nous attendent, cinq nouveaux moments où notre coeur se brise et se rassemble, cinq nouvelles découvertes du folklore japonais et de ses mushi. Comme souvent cinq beaux moments avec peut-être une légère préférence pour l’une des histoires mais tout de même cinq très belles rencontres.
Le tome s’ouvre avec l’histoire de deux soeurs jumelles vouées aux mushi dont l’une a disparu par mégarde suite à une erreur de la première. L’occasion de découvrir comment notre héros Ginko reçoit des nouvelles et d’aller à la rencontre de celle lui permettant de rester en contact avec le monde, tout en plongeant dans son propre drame à elle. La deuxième histoire, tout aussi triste, parle également d’une tragique séparation, celle d’un couple qui a tenté de fuir leur village où on voulait imposer le mariage à Hana, malheureusement la fuite ne se passe pas bien et même si Hana semble de retour, ce n’est pas vraiment elle. Le portrait parfait des amants maudits. Un thème qui reviendra dans la quatrième histoire, ma préférée où on suivra un couple étrange vivant dans une bambouseraie sans pouvoir en sortir, madame étant une enfant du bambou. Une fin poignante mais pleine d’espoir pour une fois. Les deux autres histoires s’intéressent à des groupes d’enfants et comme toujours, je trouve cela charmant et touchant. Il est d’abord question d’un frère qui fait tout pour aider sa soeur avec qui il vit seul, quitte à aller un peu trop loin dans ses relations avec les mushi. L’auteur offre une charmante parenthèse à Ginko ici, qui semble avoir trouvé sa place un temps avec cette petite famille. Puis la dernière histoire, comme parfois, est un extrait de l’enfance de Ginko où on découvre la rencontre de deux de ses amis d’autrefois autour d’une montagne un peu magique. C’est mignon tout plein.
Occasion faite à chaque fois, on rencontre certes de petites créatures fantastiques venant semer le désordre malgré elles, mais on fait surtout la connaissance d’hommes et de femmes, d’enfants, charmants et touchants dont les histoires nous touchent et nous bouleversent. Que ce soit un amour déçu, la perte d’un être cher, une situation de rejet ou au contraire la rencontre enfin avec quelqu’un qui nous comprend, chacun est brut, simple et émouvant dans l’expression de ses sentiments. C’est dessiné superbement grâce au trait fantastique de Yuki Urushibara chez laquelle on sent toute la texture et l’épaisseur de ce voile mystérieux issu du folklore et de la nature japonaise. J’adore.
Mélancoliques et nostalgiques à souhait, ces nouvelles histoires m’ont encore une fois émue, charmée et bouleversée parfois. L’autrice capture merveilleusement cette ambiance d’un autre temps et quasiment d’une autre dimension avec le voile fantastique dont elle la recouvre. C’est beau, poétique et souvent dramatique. Les amours, pertes et découvertes de ces héros du quotidien ne peuvent laisser insensible.

1) Picking the Empty Cocoon. A story about Aya and Ito, twin girls who take on the family occupation of tending a sort of message service for mushishi. Double cocoons of wild silkworms are gathered and rewoven into two separate cocoons and a mushi called an uro is introduced to it. The uro lives in empty spaces, but leaves if the space is opened, taking contents of the space with it. The uro will move between the rewoven cocoons and take messages with them. The uro also seem to have some sort of extraspacial cave system that abuts with the real world in places. Ito was taken away by an uro and Aya blames herself, continuing to send out messages through the uro in the hopes of someone finding her sister. Ginko visits Aya to get a replacement cocoon and takes her into an uro cave to convince her to give up on her sister and move on with life. But after this main story there is a short bit that reveals that Ito comes out of a silkworm cocoon, unaged and missing her memory, but was returned home because of Aya's letter. I felt like this was one of the more poignant stories, enjoyable though sad. I have mixed feelings about the afterward though, since it feels like a forced happy ending. Though given how many people who have spent time with mushi ultimately dissolve I wonder if it even turned out well or not.
2) One-Night Bridge. A young man and woman tried to elope from their village by crossing a high bridge over a valley. The woman fell through the bridge and should have died, but she was found seemingly alive though not at all like her old self. The region also has reports of a bridge that appears for just one night across the valley every 20 years or so. Ginko becomes embroiled in local matters. He determines the area is home to nisezakura, a type of mushi that resembles vines and feeds on sunlight. Confined to a valley with little sunlight, they take over bodies of dead animals and use them to gather more energy and when they have enough they migrate across the valley in a great mass that resembles a rope or vine bridge. The villagers sabotage the real bridge and the woman's corpse stops moving as the mushi leaves it, so Ginko and the man try to leave via the one-night bridge. But the man hesitates because of guilt and turns back, but causing the bridge to give way beneath him and he falls. A final scene shows him coming out of the woods as another valley returnee. Kind of an interesting story, but I never really got how the valley was a barrier to travel. Especially since characters go down to the valley bottom to search for things, couldn't they just cross over and up the other side rather than needing a bridge? Also, it is another "she was dead all along" story like one in volume 3. I'm a bit annoyed with how those stories toy with your emotions.
3) Spring and Falsehoods. Ginko finds shelter in winter at the home of a young woman, Suzu, and her much younger brother, Miharu. Miharu has the ability to see mushi so Ginko agrees to stay and teach him some. Suzu reports that in years past Miharu had found plants alive in winter that should have only been present in spring, but that he had then fallen asleep until spring. Ginko says it is like reports of a mushi called usobuki. Miharu again falls asleep and Ginko finds him, but decides he must move on as he is attracting mushi. He comes back the next winter and learns that Miharu has slept the whole year. Investigating he discovers the true form of the usobuki but succumbs to their energy drain. Suzu rescues him and he and Miharu awake when spring comes. Ginko moves on though Miharu entreats him to stay for Suzu's sake. I like the subtext in this story; it is obvious that Suzu has a crush on Ginko, and Ginko's parting words to Miharu imply that he probably returns the feelings somewhat.
4) In the Cage. Ginko comes across a man who is unable to leave a bamboo grove near a village. The man has a wife and daughter but is ostracized by the town, including his sister. He tells Ginko of a local legend about a man whose wife gave birth to a bamboo shoot, which was the woman he eventually married. He didn't fully believe the story until his own daughter was born in a similar manner. Ginko does some experiments and determines there is a magaridake in the grove, a mushi that resembles a stalk of white bamboo that parsitizes bamboo. The mushi exerts control over its offspring (the wife and daughter) and anyone who carries or has drunk the water it produces (the man). Ginko tells this to the man who accepts his fate, but his wife overhears and taking pity on him chops down the magaridake. The man, looking for his wife, wanders out of the grove with his daughter but is rejected by his sister in town and returns to live with his wife as before. But Ginko visits him about a year later and learns that both his wife and daughter had died a few months later without the water from the magaridake to sustain them. But then the man sees a shoot of white bamboo and hears a sound like babies crying coming from the grave of his wife and daughter.
5) The Sound of Trodden Grass. A story about a boy named Taku whose family owns the land of a mountain near the light flow. He becomes friends with Isaza, a young member of a group called the Watari who follow the light flow and trade information with mushishi. Taku meets a young Ginko after he is taken in by the Watari for a time. But then the light flow changes and the Watari leave with a warning of coming disaster. The mountain erupts as a volcano but Taku stays behind to rebuild. A dozen years later children in the area are sickly, though progress is being made. Ginko shows up at Isaza's request and provides medicine and advice to help people out. Taku recognizes him, but Ginko only seems to recall when he sees a pool that had held the former mountain master, a great catfish with grass growing from its head. I like this story for not following the usual formula of Ginko showing up, identifying a mushi causing trouble based on symptoms and then providing a solution; it is a bit too much like a medical drama at times. Also, Ginko is not a central character in this story, and it is interesting to see him from a different perspective like that. Though as a result this story feels very much like Ginko's origin story (which was not at first obviously about Ginko), and so I had thought at first it would be the origin story of Adashino-sensei, since the young Taku looks like him. But the resemblance is just because lots of this author's characters look alike.
Bonus Manga. A Story of a Long Time Ago, Fox Spirit Owner Chapter. A short story from the author's grandmother who witnessed an apparent contest of wills between a man rumored to be a fox spirit owner and a Buddhist monk.

Me leí el tomo 4 porque este mes me tocaba comprar el tomo 3 pero en mi cabeza ya voy por delante y ahora me falta el 3 y no se si se va a acabar y ahora me da ansiedad.
Del tomo, la cosa más bella.
Cierra con una de las historias que da guiños del pasado de Ginko, una de las que me gustó. Y abre también con una de mis favoritas. Cuando ví la animación la escena de la sábana me pareció un sueño. La idea de los capullos de oruga vacíos me encantó y así.
La primaverita también me gustó... aunque la traducción en la animación creo que era "la primavera falsa" y me gusta más ese nombre.
Aún siguen siendo las historias de la animación, no creo que haya nada que no se haya animado, pero tenerlas ya por siempre en mis manos para leer en cualquier momento me da tanta felicidad.

(THIS REVIEW IS ORIGINALLY FROM STORYGRAPH, FROM 25TH JULY 2025.)
This volume stood out for me by encapsulating everything I've enjoyed so far from the series; it's balancing of tragedy with hope is what makes each story and the overarching series such a stand out to me.
Like I expected, the final story of volume 3, the Fish Gaze, paid off with the final story of the fourth volume, the Sound Of Trodden Grass. Seeing more into Ginko's past is really enjoyable and how his connections following onto the modern time of the other stories told were formed.
My favourite stories from this collection were either Picking The Empty Cocoon, or In The Cage. I was also a fan of One-Night Bridge but more so for the art which stood out particularly to me.

I don't know what to write. I could mention that after reading some volumes, it is noticable that mc is lonely and alone, because of mushi, that most of the stories have simple people in it, and they are interchangeable with some minor adjustments, that relationships are mostly family or potential romantic partners, that the subject of mushi is so broad, that a lot, and I mean a lot, can be cast into that bag.
And it is still a really good contemplative piece of media.

Great volume. It's amazing how atmospheric the manga is even without the added benefit of having music with it like the anime adaptation. And I can tell the author's art skills are improving as time goes on.
There are some stories in which I can tell that the anime version is more fleshed out than the original manga story, and I kind of miss those details. But I still love this series nonetheless.

I still don't really understand what these stories are. In this volume, they felt more like ghost stories without really being ghost stories. Anyways, I'm still enjoying these weird little books.
First story is about how the mushishi communicate with others. The second is about a bridge that can't be crossed. The third is about a magical false spring. The fifth is about a bamboo lady. The sixth is about a magical mountain.

蟲師のはすごく好きだ。読む時にちょっと落ち着く。話も絵も柔らかい感じが溢れている。「この世界に不思議な事あるようね」って感じ。ファンタシーなんだけど現実的な感じ。人が田で働いたり子供の病気で苦しんだりその当たらまえの生活を抱いているのはこの柔らかいファンタシーストリー。そのミクスは面白くてすごく楽し。
この巻の一番好きな部分は色付けてるのページ。この作者のカラーページは霧が多いので柔らかい絵になる。結構好きだ。

Mushishi #4
Another collection of whimsical stories of the spirits of Mushi creatures in the Japanese countryside coexisting with humans in the environment. Love these very Japanese folklore stories. Nice supernatural feel.

kind of an oddball bc while this volume does have one of my favorite "creepy" arcs (the one about the white bamboo) the other ones seemed a bit...rushed, almost?

This volume I may have enjoyed overall more than the anime, with the exception of maybe “One Night Bridge”

The stories get weirder, sadder, and more gently complex.
