Welcome to Litsy!

My husband had us watch Silver Spoon because it's by the same person as Full Metal Alchemist and because he loves slice of life. I wasn't sure I'd like it, but I absolutely loved it. So far, the manga is just as wonderful. It's really rewarding watching Hachiken adjust to the agricultural high school and embark on a journey to find his future dreams. I also love the depictions of food throughout this series! #Manga

A woman I was interacting with this weekend was complaining that her $300 purse broke earlier that day. I had several thoughts about this purse, but my very first thought was about how it wouldn't have fit the manga I had stowed away in my own purse!

Fun and informative new #manga series about the new kid at an agricultural high school. Yuugo Hachiken is a high-achieving student with no farm experience who assumes ag school will be a breeze. He doesn‘t count on the incredible physical demands of farming, the practicality of raising animals for food, or his classmates‘ life experience and clear goals for the future. Really eye-opening and original topic. #ya #hubchallenge19

This is the first book of manga I've ever read, and although it's not my favorite genre, I can see its appeal. I'm glad I read this, and enjoyed the life lessons embedded within the story. #BookRiotReadHarderChallenge2019: a book of manga #ReadingThroughTheYears192021 #2014

Currently reading this one that I picked for the #BookRiotReadHarderChallenge2019: book of manga.

Interesting! No cell phones at this boarding school. (The students have just returned from Golden Week.)

The premise: a city boy with excellent grades decides to switch to an agricultural college and figures he‘ll be the academic champ there. Turns out there‘s a lot of hands-on classes and he‘s a fish out of water among the farm kids. A warm and funny #manga in a contemporary rural setting in northern Japan, from the author of Fullmetal Alchemist. #graphicnovel #translation

“Don‘t name that piglet.”
“If you must name him, make it something like ‘pork bowl.‘”

(When I was growing up, the pigs on our farm were always called ‘pork chop.‘)

A sentence to strike fear into any teenager‘s heart. (Especially when the teacher could be Lord Buddha‘s twin.)

I‘m loving the food science and agriculture discussions in this story! A #manga surprise. (Remember to read the speech balloons from right to left.)

“Tokiwa, when chickens lay eggs, where do the eggs come out?” 🐓

First time I have seen an agricultural school in manga.
