He later realises that she is the lord of that mountain but finds it strange that a human like her was chosen as the lord. He later meets her older brother who has continued to search for her ever since she disappeared while she was accompanying him on a stormy day. The story is about that girl, Kaya, and how she is torn between continuing her duty as a mushi lord and returning back to her loving human family.

Where it came from
Released in 2015, Mushi-shi Special: Bell Droplets was produced by studio Artland as a significant addition to the Mushi-shi anime franchise. The special is based on the final chapters of Yuki Urushibara’s acclaimed manga series, which explores the lives of 'Mushi'—primordial, supernatural entities that exist alongside humanity. The project aimed to provide a definitive cinematic conclusion to the narratives established in the 2014 series, maintaining the show's signature meditative pace and atmospheric storytelling.
The production was directed by Hiroshi Nagahama, who returned to helm the project with a focus on preserving the delicate, watercolor-inspired aesthetic that defined the series. Nagahama sought to emphasize the themes of ecological balance and human interaction with the natural world, favoring silence and subtle environmental soundscapes over conventional action. Upon release, it was warmly received by fans and critics alike for its visual fidelity and its faithful, poignant adaptation of the source material’s philosophical conclusion.
