Defying the expectations of family and teachers, Yuugo Hachiken chooses to leave the city and enrol at Ooezo Agricultural High School. Having always been at the top of his class, Yuugo assumes a rural school will be a breeze, but mucking out stables, gathering eggs, and chasing errant calves takes a lot out of him—and fills him with something he's never experienced before.

Surrounded by endless fields and fresh air, Yuugo discovers a new connection to the land and to life... Springtime begins at Ezo AG!

Discover Yuugo's journey in Silver Spoon, Vol. 1 by Amanda Haley, Abigail Blackman, and Hiromu Arakawa.

About the Author

Acclaimed author and artist Hiromu Arakawa won acclaim for the hit manga sensation Fullmetal Alchemist which was honored with the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Award 2011 for her innovation.
