Mushikago no Cagaster

A mysterious disease has devastated the world by transforming its victims into enormous insects called Cagaster. Across the dangerous lands left behind, the young exterminator Kidow earns his living killing these creatures and protecting travelers between settlements.

When Kidow encounters a dying man, he is entrusted with the man’s daughter, Ilie, and asked to take her to her mother. That promise binds the girl to the taciturn fighter, drawing them into a journey where the threat of Cagaster intersects with secrets from their pasts as they struggle to find their place in a shattered world.
