銀の匙 Silver Spoon

Yuugo Hachiken, a city boy overwhelmed by academic pressure, enrolls in Ooezo Agricultural High School in Hokkaido, hoping for an easier life away from exams. But the rural school's demanding farm work—milking cows, plowing fields, and raising livestock—quickly shatters his expectations. Surrounded by classmates with dreams of inheriting family farms or pursuing agricultural careers, Yuugo, who lacks a clear goal, begins to question his purpose. Through sweat, laughter, and unexpected friendships, especially with Aki Mikage, a horse-loving girl, Yuugo discovers the challenges and joys of farm life, finding his own path amidst the cycles of nature.
