Moyasimon: Tales of Agriculture, known in Japan as Moyashimon (もやしもん), is a Japanese manga series by Masayuki Ishikawa. It was serialized in Kodansha's seinen magazine Evening from August 2004 to June 2013 and moved to the magazine Morning two, where it concluded in January 2014. The series follows Tadayasu Sawaki, a first-year college student at an agricultural university, who has a unique ability to see and communicate with bacteria and other micro-organisms. Del Rey Manga licensed the manga, but only released two volumes in English in North America. An 11-episode anime television series adaptation, animated by Shirogumi and Telecom Animation Film, aired between October and December 2007 on Fuji TV's Noitamina programming block. An 11-episode live action adaptation was aired on the noitamina block between July and September 2010. An 11-episode animated second season titled Moyasimon Returns aired from July to September 2012.

The manga, anime and live action have all been generally well received by reviewers, with praise received for the artwork and sustaining the viewer's interest through clear presentation of a difficult topic. It won the 2008 Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize for Grand Prize and the 2008 Kodansha Manga Award for general manga.

Plot

Moyasimon follows the life of Tadayasu Sawaki, a first-year college student at an agricultural university, who has the unique ability to see and communicate with micro-organisms and bacteria. Additionally, these organisms look much different to him, and much larger, than what can be seen under a microscope by normal people. This ability has brought him a bit of fame as when he entered the university, Tadayasu discovered that one of the professors there, Keizō Itsuki, already knew about his gift via Tadayasu's grandfather. Professor Itsuki's coworker Haruka Hasegawa has trouble believing what Tadayasu claims at first, but later comes to accept it. Tadayasu enters the university with his good friend Kei Yūki whose family runs a sake brewery.

Media

Manga

Moyasimon is written and illustrated by Masayuki Ishikawa. It started serialization in Kodansha's seinen magazine Evening in August 2004.[4] On June 22, 2013, it moved to the magazine Morning two, also published by Kodansha,[5] and ran in that magazine until January 2014. Originally titled Tales of an Agricultural University (農大物語 Nōdai Monogatari), its title was changed in the second chapter to Moyasimon: Tales of an Agricultural University (農大物語もやしもん Nōdai Monogatari Moyashimon), then simply Moyasimon, before gaining the English subtitle Tales of Agriculture. Kodansha published 13 tankōbon volumes between May 23, 2005 and March 20, 2014.[6][7] The manga was licensed in North America by Del Rey Manga,[4] which only released the first two volumes on November 24, 2009 and June 22, 2010.[8][9] Further English volumes were discontinued after Kodansha USA took over the manga published by Del Rey Manga, with Random House serving as the distributor.[10] The ninth volume of the manga was released with a CG anime DVD, which contained a six-minute short film about the popular micro-organism characters in the manga.[11] It was written on the first volume's obi strip that the volume was printed on recycled paper, and the ink was derived from soybeans.[12]

Anime

An 11-episode anime adaptation aired on Fuji TV's noitamina block between October 11 and December 20, 2007.[1][13] The series was produced by Shirogumi and Telecom Animation Film with Yuichiro Yano as series director.[14] Natsuko Takahashi will serve as screenwriter with Junichi Takaoka as character designer and Naoki Satō as sound director.[14] The opening theme is "Curriculum" (カリキュラム Karikyuramu) by Sarasa Ifu and the ending theme is "Rocket" by Polysics.[15] The opening theme video was directed by noted film director Takashi Yamazaki.[16] Crunchyroll streamed the first season of the anime.[17] At the Tokyo International Film Festival, it was explained that over 100 types of bacteria appear in the anime and that a combination of CG animation and live-action shots were used in the animation opening sequence.[16] The anime's original soundtrack was released on November 28, 2007.[18] ASMIK released the anime over 4 DVDs between December 21, 2007 and March 19, 2008.[19][20] ASMIK also released a DVD box on May 26, 2010 and a Blu-ray box on October 26, 2011.[21][22]

A second season titled Moyasimon Returns aired on noitamina for 11 episodes between July 5 and September 13, 2012.[3][23] Crunchyroll simulcasted the second season of the anime.[24] Yuichiro Yano and Natsuko Takahashi returned as series director and screenwriter.[25] Takefumi Haketa replaced Naoki Satō as sound director.[26] The opening theme is "Wake Up" by ClariS and the ending theme is "Saikin" (最近 Recently) by Hiiragi.[27] ASMIK released the second season over 6 DVDs as well as 6 Blu-rays, with the corresponding volumes being released on the same date, between September 5, 2012 and February 6, 2013.[28][29][30][31]

Live action TV series

Moyasimon has been adapted into a live action television series.[32] It was also broadcast on the mainly anime-based programing block "noitamina" that the anime aired on.[33] The series aired on Fuji TV between July 8 and September 16, 2010.[2][34] Akira Iwamoto is series director, with Natsuko Takahashi as screenwriter.[35] Shirogumi handled production and visual effects, with a live demonstration of augmented reality technology used for Moyashimon's super deformed germs at the press conference.[35] Funimation announced a license to simulcast the series at their panel at Anime Expo 2010.[33] ASMIK released the live action series over 4 DVDs between December 23, 2010 and March 16, 2011.[36][37]

Reception

The Moyasimon manga was awarded the Grand Prize for the 12th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2008.[38] It was also awarded the 2008 Kodansha Manga Award for general manga.[39] It was selected as one of the best manga in Japan in 2008 by Tamaki Seto.[40] It was nominated for the first Manga Taishō awards in 2008.[41] In 2006, the manga and its animated adaptation were finalists in the 2007 Japan Media Arts Festival.[42] In 2006, the manga was a finalist in the 10th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize.[43]

Zoltan Fehervari writing for Cell commends the manga's art for being "generally excellent throughout, with crisp detail, expressive characters, and fluid action."[44] Brigid Alverson commends the manga with "while this series showcases the author's zany sense of humor, the series is so scientifically accurate it's legitimately educational, too!"[45] Ain't It Cool News' Scott Green comments on the presentation of the bacteria in the manga "basically shapes with faces", highlighting the differences between their "broad and cute" character design and Jessica Rabbit.[46] He also praises the art with "characters appear in thought out backgrounds with plenty of line work, an abundance of zip tones, margin illustrations and notes."[46] However the density of the information given leads to "a viscous manga that moves slowly. Even if there aren't dead stops, it doesn't flow easily."[46] Satsuki Murakami and Mio Bryce writing for the International Journal of the Humanities commend the manga by stating that "key concepts are repeatedly presented in the entertaining format, making Moyashimon representative of manga that successfully promotes readers' interest in, and effective understanding of, difficult subjects such as brewing technology."[47] Jason Thompson, in his online appendix to Manga: The Complete Guide, comments that "Ishikawa sometimes errs on the side of too much info, resulting in pages and pages filled with text, and not so much in the way of plot or character development in the macroscopic human world."[48] Carlo Santos from Anime News Network commended Ishikawa's art stating "lots of careful shading to bring out the depth and texture in each scene, as well as distinctive character designs for each of the newcomers."[49]

Ishikawa is an excellent artist. His backgrounds are beautifully detailed and make you feel like you're looking at a real college. For the most part, his characters are also drawn realistically, but he does like to throw in exaggeration for comedic and emotional effect. This realism helps in making the world come alive and drawing the reader into the surreal events. He gives each strain of microorganism its own character design. That's an impressive feat when you consider the sheer number of varieties of microbes that exist.
— Ed Sizemore, Comics Worth Reading[50]

Jake Godek from THEM Anime commends the anime for its portrayal of the microorganism stating that they are "so adorable it's easy to see one in the show and want to hug it."[15] He also praises the "catchy beyond needed" music, however he criticizes the weak story stating "it feels like the story really is being decided on step-by-step during production rather than before it."[15] Carl Kimlinger from Anime News Network commends the anime's setting for "capturing that collegiate feeling: the freedom, the newness, the adventure; the bad roommates, the bizarre school activities, the drunken sexual experimentation."[51] Kimlinger compared the two seasons of anime: "This season is the sharper looking of the two, with cleaner designs and more detailed settings; season two is the more vivid, with brighter colors and more expressive designs. This season's score is sometimes incongruously serious (which actually adds to the humor on occasion), and its fan service level is orders of magnitude higher. (Remember the drunken sexual experimentation? Let's just say no men were involved)."[51] Kimlinger, in his review of the second season, commends the "great ensemble cast" and "pleasing pace" but criticizes the first three episodes of "inconsequential filler and food-science lectures".[26]

Clarissa Graffeo from Anime World Order comments on "gross" practice of preparing kiviak in the live action and Itsuki consumes the fermented meal.[52] Erin Finnegan from Anime News Network comments on the denseness of the live action, comparing the live action to Nodame Cantabile's live action, "which seemed to cover one entire volume of manga per episode."[53] Mania.com's Chris Beveridge comments on the "mildly comical microbes that are reminiscent of the aliens from Toy Story except that they talk more."[54] In a review of the fifth episode, Beveridge criticizes the introduction of gothic lolita girl, saying "that while cute in manga and anime, looks ridiculous in person."[55] A review of the final episode has Beveridge commending the "CG work both for the bacteria and all the campus oddities". He further applauds the live action with "Moyashimon overacts everything in just the right way, rarely taking it too far and instead being just goofy and unrealistic enough to make you laugh while still going with the core concept."[56]
