Renzu, the most Moe grandmother in anime history. I'd hit it if I were Shinra, inappropriateness be damned. Heaven's, every Mushishi fan whose seen your post is drooling after that piece of work, myself included. Bookoff in Paris? Niiiice... ah Bookoff, dozens of hours (maybe even a hundred) well spent while I was in Osaka and Kyoto for Summer last year. I too hesitated on buying the Mushishi manga series (when they were available, which wasn't often, which I supposed meant people didn't want to part with their copies), but ended up buying them when I went to Taiwan for Winter; new copies at less than Bookoff prices. How does Bookoff operate in France anyways? Do they deal primarily in French versions of manga? Is there enough circulation and variety to sustain that same business model which does so well (logically so) in Japan? You are a true Mushishi fan.

@Cal_Reflector : don't worry, I watched Mushishi ep.1~20 with C1 fansub and 21~26 in raws, so I perfectly know who Amane is. It's just that I haven't watched the episode since June or something... BTW, I realize that I totally forgot about Yahagi, the female mushishi of ep.24 ! The Book Off in Paris opened about 2 years ago ; they sell (and buy) Japanese mangas (2~6€), books (1~10€), magazines, DVDs in Japanese language. Last year, they opened a French manga corner for the local otakus. It's in the Japanese area/district of Paris (near the Opéra Garnier), and whenever I am passing buy, I enter and I usually buy something. Mostly novels of a writer named Shimizu Yoshinori (清水義範). I suppose that they periodically receive massive shipments of mangas from the Japanese stores, as I've seen employers unloading big boxes packed with mangas and books. I have sold a few mangas once (about 5 Pokemon mangas), but I only got 2~3€... |

Yahagi? Meh... did you read my genre parody of Mushishi from a few pages ago, in which I turned Mushishi into a harem show? She would be the hard-ass model-student look-down-on-Ginko's-slovenly-ways matron. Amane is ok, however, more than okay.

Yes, quite a bit, but I'm not sure on what page of this thread. I think it was one of the early pages. I'll summarize it though.
When the mangaka started to create the story no particular time period was envisioned. Then after just a few chapters emerged the vision of this world as taking place in a particular time. At this point the writer started to pay more attention to historical detail, but kept Ginko's style as a metaphor for how he does not fit into the world he travels through.

While keeping it strictly relevant to the original series, of course.

Well, for the sake of "making it more realistic to me" I imagine that Mushishi takes place sometime during the modernization of Japan... in some faraway rural area... or something like that.
Anyway, it doesn't matter really, but the question did pop into my head at some point and I'm sure I'm not alone when it comes to that. However I also think it's more important to take note of the author's intention(s) overall. By the way... I'm not sure if this has been addressed already, but is the manga still ongoing in Japan up to this day? Any recurring characters besides Ginko's collector buddy? Like Tanyuu? (Okay, that's just me wishfully thinking...) |

Ahahahahaha! *laughs evilly*
Yes, the manga is still ongoing. The 8th (is it hte 8th?) tankoubon is due soon, meanwhile I still curse in the doldrums for not being able to keep up with the latest in Afternoon. And bingo, Tanyuu does actually recur! I should expect another character to do so too, later... We've already had one recurring character, Adashino-sensei.

*crosses finger, makes wish on the first star of the night*
i still pray for mushishi season 2. the omake school version. Ginko-sensei. or perhaps Mushishi bishi. anyhoo. i really do want them to continue straight from the manga. i'm sure they could do at least 12 more eps. |

Hmm, do you guys thing Funi shall go with using the volume cover art used for the R2 release? They are known for this with some of there past releases - and judging from just how sexy they look, it would be a waste not to use them.

Praise be to the Lord... my dream fic has come true!!
It's the next cover of the Afternoon Magazine, April issue, with Ginko leading a horse with Tanyuu riding on it. Now I know covers usually have little relation to the content, but somehow, my brainwaves must have reached from the West Coast of California across to Ocean to Urushibara... Praise be to the Lord. *Does little happy jig* If anyone finds a bigger image, please post it!
