Moyashimon Returns

Synopsis

Continues the story of Moyashimon

In "Moyashimon," first-year university student Tadayasu Sawaki has an unusual gift: he can see microorganisms as tiny, cute chibi characters. These include everything from the fungus that causes athlete's foot to the yeast essential for making alcohol. While studying agriculture in Tokyo, his ability draws the attention of several professors, especially Professor Itsuki, who specializes in fermentation. At first, Sawaki isn't very invested in his studies, having entered an agricultural university without much passion. However, through his encounters with the odd professors and classmates, he begins to appreciate his talent and the microbes he observes. Even with his extraordinary vision, Sawaki feels fairly ordinary among the eccentric academic environment.

In this installment

The narrative of Moyashimon Returns picks up right where the first season left off. With Professor Itsuki's Fermentation Cellar and laboratory now completely operational, the diverse group of students under Itsuki's guidance utilizes Sawaki Tadayasu's extraordinary ability to perceive and converse with microbes to start producing various fermented items such as soy sauce and sake.
