They are neither plants nor animals. They differ from other forms of life such as the micro-organisms and the fungi. Instead they resemble the primeval body of life and are generally known as "Mushi". Their existence and appearance are unknown to many and only a limited number of humans are aware of them. Ginko is a "Mushi-shi" who travels around to investigate and find out more about the "Mushi". In the process, he also lends a helping hand to people who face problems with supernatural occurances which may be related to the "Mushi".

Akito Kobayashi has always had an interest in the occult, and when he learns to control demons though the help of a computer program he created and magnetite, the essence of human life, he plans to unleash hell on earth. The only hinderance may lie within his old friend Kojiro Soma, who has the ability to stop the destruction, if he can find it within himself to do so.

There's a war going on in ancient Kyoto. A war fought in shadows, between the forces of the Shogunate's armed enforcers, the Shinsengumi, and the vampire-like Ronin warriors known as the Rasetsu or Furies. And trapped in the middle is a young woman disguised as a man. Seeking her missing father, Chizuru Yukimura comes to Kyoto only to find her fate forever intertwined with the destinies of Shinsengumi Vice commander Toshizo Hijikata and his elite force of swordsmen. Because Chizuru's father has created a secret elixir that enhances the user's strength, speed and healing, and the furies will do anything and kill anyone in order to control that power!

该作品1977年诞生，于1980年被剧场版动画化，由竹宮惠子描画的SF漫画『奔向地球』，时隔30年后被TV动画化，将于4月全新登场！
原作中描写的社会，遭到环境破坏，高度依存计算机，跟我们目前生存的世界十分相似。在那样的一个世界中，对于一群年轻人来说，何谓“正义”，何谓“希望”？
《地球…》是少女漫画家竹宫惠子连载于《月刊漫画少年》1977年1月号到1980年5月号上的SF漫画作品。共由四个部分构成。该作曾获得过1978年的SF大赏——星云赏漫画部门赏，以及第25届小学馆漫画赏。该漫画已决定制作TV版动画，并于今年4月发送。担任动画监督的是山崎理，机械理念设计为出渕裕，人设为结城信辉。
故事讲述的是距离现代非常遥远的未来——S.D.（Superior Dominance-特殊统治体制，西历3千数百年）的时代，为了拯救环境遭到了严重破坏、徘徊于灭亡边缘的地球，所有人均退居到了殖民星球。人类从出生、成长一直到独立（14岁的那一天被称为“觉醒之日”）均由计算机管理，且被分为“普通人”和“超能力保持者”两大类。大多数超能力保持者在被发觉之前都会出现情绪不稳定的前兆，这样的人就会被单独区分出来教化、处分。但也有一些从这种管理体制中逃脱出来的超能力保持者，他们组成了集团与人类敌对。在远离地球的殖民行星アタラクシア上，一名刚刚迎来“觉醒之日”的少年乔米·马奇斯·辛也是“超能力保持者”，但与其他“超能力保持者”不同，他是数百年才会出现的一名“超能力保持者”健常者。因此也成为了“超能力保持者”的领导“soldier”的继承者。而随即，乔米便遇到了作为统治者候补人“无垢者”被养育成人的、执行机关“メンバーズ?エリート”的成员キース?アニアン。二人的相遇拉开了地球新时代的序幕……
故事舞台设定为比现在还遥远的未来。
人类因为自己居住的地球遭到严重的环境破坏，为了继续生存下去，移居到了植民惑星上。
由于一直受到计算机的管理，出现了一群拥有特殊能力的人。
在新星球上遭到了残酷政府的压迫，潜藏在人们心中的自我存在意识渐渐显露，于是想要逃回故乡地球去……
