Suddenly,
high school student Subaru Natsuki has been summoned to another world
on the way back from the convenience store. With the biggest crisis of
his life being summoned to another world, and with no sign of the one
who summoned him, things become even worse when he is attacked. But when
he is saved by a mysterious, silver-haired girl with a fairy cat,
Subaru attempts to return the favor by helping her track down something
that was stolen from her. When they finally manage to get a clue, Subaru
and the girl are attacked and killed by someone. Subaru then awakens in
the place he was summoned and notices he gained the ability "Returns by
Death" and has become a helpless boy that only has the ability to
rewind time to a certain point by dying. Beyond the despair, can he save
the girl from the fate of death?
Mushi;
the life-blood of nature. They exist everywhere in various forms:
micro-organisms, fungi, bodies of water. Sometimes, they're even
mistaken to be plants, animals, or spirits. But regardless of their
appearance, they exist, nonetheless, living the only way they know how.
At times, their actions can cause strange or unexplainable phenomena.
Enter Ginko, the Mushishi (mushi master), as he continues encountering,
studying, and dealing with the mysterious mushi along his journey into
the unknown.
