Additional news:
Ishikawa Masayuki apologized in his blog that the special edition of Moyashimon volume 8 was quickly sold out and so many fans couldn't obtain the volume. He said that Kondansha underestimated the popularity of the edition and printed only 35,000 copies. It's impossible to print the extra picture book again but he promised to do something about the issue by the newly announced picture book series "Ehon Moyashimon".
