Bacteria Figurines Based on Moyashimon Manga

Posted by Joel Johnson, December 10, 2007 5:43 AM | permalink

These bacteria figurines are apparently based on characters in the manga/anime series Moyashimon (a.k.a. "Tales of Agriculture", in which a student at an agricultural university discovers he can communicate with bacteria and other microorganisms.

They are very likely available only in Japan.

Where else but in Japan could a series named Tales of Agriculture succeed? Manga is probably one of the clearest examples of the Long Tail effect in the world.

Still not nearly as cool as the plush microbes, IMO.
