Moyashimon

tachi

In my quest to scanlate more unusual and interesting manga, i happened across one called Moyashimon. Get this, it's about a youth who can see and talk to cute, chibi bacteria and other microscopic organisms, and it gets him into all sorts of trouble. And to top that off, the theme is agriculture- fermenting alcohol, making yogurt, etc..

It kind of reminds me of a manga called Mushishi, which is about a man who solves supernatural problems caused by mushi- sort of bug-like nature spirits that are present everywhere. Mushishi btw, is an excellent manga, full of atmosphere, nature and slice-of-life type stuff.

Quick Moyashimon pic-


Aspergillus oryzae, a fungus used to ferment soybeans. Fungus has never looked so cute. (And i can safely say, i never imagined i would one day say "cute" and "fungus" in the same sentence ^^;;;) This pic is a fan made model of the character. With luck i'll find more pics later.

Scanlation Team?
Um, hello. I was just wondering, are you still interested in translating Moyashimon? Because I'm trying to start up a scanlation group specifically for the series, and I think it'd be much easier for you if you worked in a group with other people doing things like typesetting and editting.

If you're busy or not able to work on it, then I understand completely and will not bother you again. If you are still interested in the project, please contact me though my e-mail address, detectivearr@hotmail.com. Again, this is only if you're still interested. Thank you very much.

Re: moyashimon...
Hello! It's nice to see such interest in Moyashimon. Right now though, my scanlation group is not active and it looks like another new group may pick it up. (http://gekkoukanhigh.ongakusai.net/)
