'Mansaku, his wife and their children showed the baby love and affection like she was a member of their family. But she aged much more slowly than the other children. After ten years, she was still a baby. And she would only drink sap from the tree. Thirty years passed and both Mansaku and his wife passed away. Saho was only a toddler at the time.' Vol 7 of the gorgeous, meditative, surreal and grotesque manga Mushishi by Yuki Urushibara'My great grandfather, Mansaku, brought the child home with him. But the child wouldn't suckle at his wife's breast. It wouldn't even drink rice broth. But when they offered it sap from the tree, it drank that.'
