read the last three stories in 蟲師：外譚集 all in one sitting which was probably a bit too much but i didn’t want to put it down! if you like mushishi and want more of the universe i can’t recommend this enough!
chapter 3 was by 芦奈野ひとし (aka the mangaka of yokohama shopping log) and was a short ten page thing of a person staring at the horizon. it was okay, i appreciate what it was going for and think it did it well i just wish it had been a bit longer.
chapter 4 was by 今井哲也 and set in modern times, following a girl who wakes up in a version of shinjuku station with no memory of who she is or how she got there. very good! tied with chapter 1 as my favourite in the collection i think
chapter 5 was by 豊田徹也 and was also set in modern times, following a girl who goes to a private detective asking him to find her mother who vanished. this one was kind of messy but i did still enjoy it and i like the concept it went with
words that stood out
蒸留 - distillation
長じる - to grow (up), to be good at
末裔 - descendant
