Sabikui Bisco

Description

For years, Japan has been devoured by rust. The infection spreads not only to metal structures but also to soil, plants, and even people. With no cure in sight, citizens especially fear the wanted fungal terrorist Bisco Akaboshi, nicknamed the "Mushroom Cannibal" — it is believed that mushrooms sprouting from his arrows spread the rust. Kind-hearted doctor Milo Nekoayanagi secretly purchases forbidden mushrooms and attempts to synthesize a cure from them to heal his terminally ill sister, while also helping everyone in need. One day, Bisco himself breaks into his home — demanding that Milo heal his gravely wounded mentor, and revealing that fungal spores can actually destroy rust. Pursued by government forces, Bisco and Milo ride atop the giant crab Akutagawa as they set out in search of the legendary rust-eating mushroom.
