Synopsis: Tadayasu befriends two students. Tadayasu and Kei rush to a balcony to find out where the homohiochi are coming from. Tadayasu sees that they're coming from a room below. In that room, homohiochi float from a huge vat. A man looks into the vat and wonders if there's something strange about it. His companion takes a look and says there's nothing wrong about it. The other, however, says it smells weird. Kei wonders why homohiochi are there. Haruka and Prof. Itsuki come out. Haruka says the building is old so it isn't used much except for the professor's lab. Prof. Itsuki comments that there are students who use it anyway. [ This is only an excerpt for the post! Go the the website for the full content + pictures + links. ]

Synopsis: Sawaki Tadayasu, a guy who can see microbes, goes into an agricultural university. What sights await him there? I know this is late but oh well, as they say, better late than never. Was supposed to blog about Moyashimon earlier but wasn't able to due to technical difficulties. I tried to blog from the raws but my translations were a complete hit-or-miss. Anyway, two old men are talking. One of them, Sawaki, says that it's their grandsons' first day at a university in Tokyo. The other one, Yuuki, says there's nothing to be happy about it. He says He wonders what things his grandson will see there. Yuuki says that Sawaki's grandson used to mention seeing microbes. He asks if Sawaki believes in it. Sawaki replies that if he doesn't believe his own grandson, who will? He says he saw the young Tadayasu playing with unseen things in the garage. [ This is only an excerpt for the post!
