They exist in the most unexpected places—be it within your eyes and ears, under the floor and roof of your house, or in the trees and flowers in your garden. They are everywhere, and yet nowhere, at the same time. Are they alive or not? Perhaps it is more apt to say they are beings who transcend the concept of life and death itself...

They are mushi.

Some wreak havoc in the lives of humans; others bring them deliverance from suffering. Mushi are neither good, nor evil: for just like any other creature, they are merely striving to survive in this harsh, competitive world.

Ginko, a lone wanderer with a reclusive personality, offers help and guidance to those plagued by mushi. This is the tale of his travels and exploits in a wondrous world populated by these mysterious entities.

From Friendship Scans:

The setting: China during the period of the Three Kingdoms!
The man: Hua Tuo, the great doctor who has alighted to earth, curing all illnesses, performing exorcisms and even exterminating all manner of monsters with ease...when no one else can!

But after every success, why is he dragged away from the celebratory feasts and beautiful women? And who would have the gall—not to mention the power over him—to send him off on an unending journey in (sort of) poverty and (relative) discomfort?

When grateful people try to press monetary payment (or women) upon him, he (well, his twin companions who step in and speak as one) refuses all, but asks them to always recite the prayer, “Namu Amidahba.”

What could the true goal of Hua Tuo be as he travels with the mysterious twins, the brother and sister Ri Yao and Yue Jing, who are constantly trying to keep him in check?

What great sin could he possibly have done to be forced to live a life so far beneath his merits?
