Moyashimon: Tales of Agriculture

もやしもん

Tadayasu Sawaki starts at a Tokyo agricultural university with a strange gift: he can see and talk to microbes, which appear to him as palm-sized cartoon creatures. The son of a mold-starter maker, he enrolls alongside his friend Kei Yuki, heir to a sake brewery, and soon draws the attention of eccentric professor Keizo Itsuki, who wants to study his ability. Between fermentation experiments and campus mishaps, Tadayasu's talent keeps pulling him into the messy science of brewing and bacteria.
