Short Summary:
Daisuke Kusuriya – called Kakkou – meets a green haired girl, who is possesed by a Mushi (insect). Before he shoots her, he promises to remember her dream. But it seems the girl is not dead, but four years later leaves/escapes a prison called GARDEN. Kakkou is a level one hunter of people posessed by mushis – mushitsukis. One night he and his colleagues hunt down a young man who’s possesed, but was not certain so far, wether he is or not. Now that he has to escape to survive he asks his mushi for help and a gigantic flying bug appears and takes him with it. An unknown man with a mushi himself helps him and tells him there’s a group of people waiting for him. They are all mushi posessed and their leader is a young girl called “lady”. The young man doesn’t make it and his mushi gets killed. Lady is very angry!
In reality lady is a young high school girl Rina Tachibana. The next day at school a transfer student is introduced. It’s nobody else than Daisuke who’s at school to find the unknown leader of the mushibane resistance. He knows she might be at that school, but he doesn’t know it’s Rina. The same day Liny is awarded for a picture she drew, and also she did not know anything about the nomination she’s thankful. Daisuke sees the picture by accident abd tells her how beautful it is, but Lina is emberassed and tells him to leave. Still she turns scarlet and wachtes him going away.
At a railroad crossing Daisuke sees the green haired girl. Both start to smile at each other and although the train is coming, Daisuke starts to run…

My opinion:
When I watched this episode for the first time I was crocheting and as my Japanese is still not good enough I would have understood what’s going on by only listening I did not notice to much of the story. Normally if a show does not magae to keep me hooked I would not keep on watching, but with Mushiuta it’s different. I was touched by the awesome background music, so I watched it again and have to say I don’t like bugs at all, but this series sure looks promising. I heard it’s based on a series of light novels, so the story might have depth and I’ll be sure to take another look. Also it’s very inetresting how Daisuke first reacts to Lina – I thought there might come up a sort of relationship – but then meets the green haired girl and starts to smile and run like that. Question now is will he be crashed by the train and if that girl is tha one from four years ago, can she return his feelings when he’s the one who shot her?
