You’re not alone if you’ve been thinking this season has a lack of original shows, but now there’s a remedy: Moyashimon (もやしもん Tales of Agriculture)

The main character is Sawaki Tadayasu, a regular Japanese blond guy (uh) who’s just moved to Tokyo to attend a college of agriculture, along with his best buddy Yuuki Kei (with proper black hair). The trouble is, Tadayasu isn’t very regular at all – in fact he can see, touch and speak to germs. Being able to discern what types of germ inhabit a puddle of goo can be quite useful, and this potential is clear to Itsuki Keizou, a germ researching professor, who’s an old friend of Tadayasu’s grandfather. Not everyone is convinced Tadayasu is telling the truth, however, and to prove his abilities he’s put through a rigorous test by the department’s graduate student and resident bondage babe, Hasegawa Haruka.
