Moyashimon

Tadayasu Sawaki arrives at an agricultural university with a peculiar advantage: he can see and communicate with microorganisms. What other people need a microscope to observe appears to him as a lively crowd inhabiting food, soil, and almost everything around him.

His ability attracts Professor Itsuki’s attention and draws Tadayasu and his childhood friend Kei into an eccentric circle of students and experiments. Fermentation, questionable habits, and campus life keep colliding. Understanding microbes may come naturally to him, but finding his place among people presents a different kind of challenge.
