DramaFever.com announced on Thursday that it has obtained the online distribution rights from Funimation for the live-action CG-animated adaption of the Moyashimon manga. The first five episodes premiered with English subtitles that same day. DramaFever will be streaming a simulcast of a new episode from the series every Thursday from now on.

The original Moyashimon manga was created in 2004 by Masayuki Ishikawa and published by Del Rey Manga in North America,. The comedy series follows Tadayasu Sawaki, a 20-something student at a Tokyo University who has an unusual power. His power allows him to see and talk to comical, quick-witted microbes who make fun of him and give a commentary as Tadayasu adjusts to his new university life.

DramaFever is also set to release the Japanese live-action series Team Astro, Iron King and Super Robot Baron.
