Del Rey seems to have stopped publishing the manga after Kodansha took back their titles. I wish either of them would resume this; it was an odd title, in a good way. I suppose there weren't enough microbiologists buying manga.

I wonder who buys giant plush microbes? Aspiring microbiologists, or women infatuated with the live-action show's actors?

It looks ugly! >.< I'll stick to my two plushies that are 'only' 30cm and 15cm tall.

And yes, Del Rey, PLEASE start publishing Moyashimon again!!!

YES, Kodansha start releasing the manga again, AND start selling all this microbe cuteness over here. I'll buy everything. Also, if Nozomi could get the anime, I'll buy that, too, thanks.

$109 for something like that seems way, way too much. Maybe $3-10 at most, but not $109.

I remember Del Ray once had this title, but it looks like they stopped publishing the series. I guess if a series isn't full of moe girls and non stop fanservice then it's less likely to sell as well as a series that does contain that.

In a sense, that is somewhat odd in some degree.

Del Rey Manga published the manga in North America,


WAS publishing. They published 2 volumes before they abruptly stopped.

Also, still waiting for FUNimation to release the Live-Action series stateside. Hate the load times on the Youtube site.

The plush is 3 feet wide. Your price expectations are completely unrealistic.

$50 seems a more reasonable expected price.
