Daily Manga

Today's manga is one of the funniest, greatest, most crazy mangas I've ever read. I'm also recommending the anime, for it is amazing as well! What's it about? A young man, pursuing an agricultural career who can see and speak with germs! I learned quite a few scary things from this one, including the existence of a food known as Kiviak... Enjoy! (lol.)

「もやしもん」
Moyashimon

Mangaka: 石川雅之 (Ishikawa Masayuki)
Genre: Comedy, Drama, Gender Bender, School Life, Seinen
Summary: "Tadayasu Sawaki is a young man with a very strange ability: he can talk with bacteria/microscopic beings. He enrolls at Tokyo Agriculture College, where people seem to be just as abnormal as he is...

From Gekkoukan High Scans:
Meet Sawaki Tadayasu, second son of yeast preparation suppliers, whom is forced to go to an agricultural university and continue the family business. He has the unique ability to see microbes. He and his friend, Kei, are taken as students to the fermentation-process obsessed Itsuki-sensei. This manga follows Sawaki as he tries to make his way through university as discreetly as possible…which is pretty impossible if you’re as unique as he is.

Moyashimon won the 2008 Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize for Grand Prize and the 2008 Kodansha Manga Award for general manga.

It was also nominated for the 1st Manga Taishō in 2008." - Baka-Updates
