Evidently I didn't realize, when I was reading Kohri no Mamono two years back, that vol 5 left me on a cliff-hanger. I went happily into vol 10, and all the problems had been solved, to the point that I didn't remember afterwards that a problem had existed. However I got vol 6 in NY, and did a fast reread of 5 last night, and now am ready to discover how we get out of our hole.

I am doing this to avoid writing Mushishi fic because surely, *surely*, everyone who writes Mushishi-- or does djs, more like-- works off the same trope: for Adashino, that aficionado of mushi-related artifacts, the most precious mushi artifact has to be Ginko himself. Whereupon we cut at once to the sex scene.

Oddly enough, although I'm an inveterate slash fiend in most cases, I don't tend to put Ginko with anyone except Tanyuu.

And you haven't run into Minai Kumado yet (in fact - he may only be in the manga). He's a much better slashy candidate, IMO, because he and Ginko have an ambiguous, somewhat antagonistic relationship that includes elements of rivalry. There's a great scene with Ginko, Tanyuu, and Kumado all together at the end of vol. 7.

Ahh, good; something to look foreward to. Though I prob won't get vol 7 until my trip to NY in April, unless the loonie soars to new heights and the yen drops poportionately.

I... I was going with the idea of a mushi that lives in ejaculate...
But I'm very crass and direct that way.

Japanese being Japanese, there probably are mushi in ejaculate. And in snot and feces and... well, it's an earthy culture. One deals.

Hahaha. I will look forward to seeing it! =D

It will get done in time, even if there's no crack mpreg and reincarnation fic.
