Hundred Ghosts is in some ways better but not available in English.
Mushishi is the same as Hundred Ghosts in that it is a view of how the supernatural intersects with the human that's distinctly Japanese/non-western. Not horror a la western notions of evil, but a twilight zone kind of weird intersecting of worlds with sometimes strange consequences.
