read the last three stories in ่Ÿฒๅธซ(ใ‚€ใ—ใ—)๏ผšๅค–่ญš้›†(ใŒใ„ใŸใ‚“ใ—ใ‚…ใ†) all in one sitting which was probably a bit too much but i didnโ€™t want to put it down! if you like mushishi and want more of the universe i canโ€™t recommend this enough!

chapter 3 was by ่Šฆๅฅˆ้‡Ž(ใ‚ใ—ใชใฎ)ใฒใจใ— (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 ไปŠไบ•ๅ“ฒไนŸ(ใ„ใพใ„ใฆใคใ‚„) 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 ่ฑŠ็”ฐๅพนไนŸ(ใจใ‚ˆใ ใฆใคใ‚„) 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

่’ธ็•™(ใ˜ใ‚‡ใ†ใ‚Šใ‚…ใ†) - distillation
้•ท(ใกใ‚‡ใ†)ใ˜ใ‚‹ - to grow (up), to be good at
ๆœซ่ฃ”(ใพใคใˆใ„) - descendant
