Silver Spoon

pick

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!

Bookzombie I require my purse to be able to hold a book or at least my Kindle. 🙂 3y

Kenyazero @Bookzombie Very important requirements! 3y

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

papertimemachines I don't read a lot of manga, but if you want to try more, I think I remember liking Fruit Basket. 5y

CoffeeNBooks @megansaurusrex Thanks! I'll check it out! 5y

sk888888 Manga wasn‘t my favorite prompt for this challenge; I‘m glad to have it done with! 5y

sheshedbooks Read a few volumes of this and really liked it! I did read it after watching the two seasons of its anime. What made you choose this manga? 5y

CoffeeNBooks @grayidlings Someone else had posted about it, and not knowing where to even begin with picking manga to read, I chose this one. 5y

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

Amabear I think that‘s genius. Cyber bullying, sexting, cheating on tests- all major issues in schools now a days. Cell phones for students has become something terrible. I love this. 5y

Lindy @Amabear Yes, I see the benefits of this policy. 👍 5y

saresmoore I would like for someone to please take away my cell phone? 5y

Lindy @saresmoore 😉 5y

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.‘)
