I think volume three was the one where Mushishi was picked up for serialization in a monthly magazine and the art started to become less detailed. Still great though. I love all the tone, the greyness has a real horror-manga vibe to it, but instead of being unsettling like a horror manga, it's soothing, in a "the world is a dangerous place and you can't change it, you can only take precautions" kind of way.
Check out the trees and leaves and plants in the first two volumes. I swear you can identify the species by the shapes of the leaves.
