Plot

The manga follows a mysterious immortal being named Fushi, sent to the Earth with no emotions nor identity. Fushi is able to take the shape of those around that leave a strong impression on him. Starting as a sphere, he takes the form of a rock, then a dying wolf. As a wolf, Fushi meets a boy living alone. The boy dies after living with Fushi for some time, and Fushi takes his human form, but without any knowledge of how to speak or live. From that point on, Fushi meets and parts with numerous people over the course of hundreds of years, maturing as a person and taking on the forms of those who die. He acquires numerous other powers, such as the ability to recreate objects he has interacted with in the past, and feel the pain and joy of others.

During Fushi's journey, he is aided by a mysterious black-hooded figure with even greater powers than his own, who claims to be his creator, and is opposed by plant-like beings called knockers who can steal his forms. After fighting the knockers for centuries, Fushi kills almost all of them in a climactic battle, then spends years spreading his body across the planet to prevent them from coming back, ending part one of the manga.
