Reviews

[Rod Brown · Rating 4 out of 5]

Having spent previous volumes helping his classmates deal with their problems and their parents, is Hachiken ready to deal with his own family? Not if he has his way, planning a secret raid on his family home for his brother's college exam study notes.

We are given a chance to see how much Hachiken has grown since volume 1 before getting back to school business as the ag students deal with snowfall on the campus and a new, larger version of the previous bacon project. Only the final chapter that tries to play a computer virus for cheap laughs falls short of the new level of excellence this series has achieved.

Hachiken is helping Mikage study to raise her grades for entrance exams to college, and he needs to borrow his older brother's study notes. But the notes are at their old home in the city. Hachiken tries to get up the courage to go home, hoping he won't have to face his father.

I love each volume more and more as Hachiken and his friends have a stronger connection. They really help each other, and some of the crazy situations they get into are so funny!

Pretty great agriculture and farming manga, great art and really good story!😁👌❤️

This series just keeps getting better and better. There's more pigs to be purchased, and bacon to be made. I can't wait until that's shown because the food in this manga looks absolutely delicious. There hasn't been a bad bowl yet and there's food all the time.

I loved the horse meet fragment - "in England they don't eat horses because they see them as friends". I had a little chuckle about that.

And Shingo. How awesome is Shingo? I think he's brilliant. I'm actually starting to really like learning more about Hachiken's family.

Hachiken is brainstorming how to help Mikage ace her college entrance exams. Part of that means venturing home to get his brother's cram notes. During that little visit his mom realizes she knows nothing about his school so she then comes for an unannounced visit that week. It's coming time for the next group of pigs to be butchered and inspired by Hachiken's success at making bacon last time, the students decide to go in on purchasing some of the pigs. Of course, they pick Hachiken to organize all this. Even teachers get in on it, but the teacher who works most closely with the pigs demands they go watch one butchering live if they are going to do this. The boys' Christmas celebration is threatened by a computer virus, and Hachiken's brother's studying tips accidentally changes everyone's Japanese grades.

Ok, things are getting a little more light-hearted again after the seriousness of the last 2 books. Hachiken is a great tutor. I love how he teaches Mikage history through horses so that she'll remember it. There's a little bit on heavy snow that hits that is kinda humorous. And the way everyone wants to have a hunk of pork is funny too. The butchering is shown a bit, so squeamish readers may want to skip that chapter. Now I have to wait until our next book order comes to continue. So sad.

Notes on content: 2 swear words I think. The boys' Christmas celebration is threatened because a computer virus linked to adult sites pops up on a school computer and no one will confess. They find out searching holstein udders makes a "boobies" site pop up. So it was an accident. But there is one panel showing a rather busty lady in a bikini. As mentioned, a pig butchering is shown step by step, though very technically.

I haven’t yet mentioned it, but... There are a few not so little things this series does beyond the amazing art and storytelling that already make it one of the finest manga translated in the West currently. The first is the in text attributions given to research sources. The brilliant butchering chapter provides the real world source for that information. Not enough fiction of any stripe, much less graphic novels do that. Publishers should keep that in mind and also consider adding translators’ names to the cover bylines (not hide it away in the copyright page in the front matter). Second, the bonus comics that show Arakawa sensei, her assistants, and her publishers doing the work to create each fantastic volume. I was quite taken by the bonus comic of Arakawa and son at an awards banquet in a prior volume. Her baby calf (aka her son) found his way to a table and was eating amongst some of the venerable titans of manga. And finally, and another reason why translators deserve to be represented in cover credits is the copious translator’s notes we get each volume. Putting things in context for non-native readers is part of the challenge for manga. While Silver Spoon tackles universal themes, there are still idiosyncrasies that need further exploration. I appreciate the efforts translator Amanda Haley goes through to make sense of things. Great work!

[Christine · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really appreciated that we got to see more of Hachiken's parents in this one. Man, I really don't like his dad! (But I get that that is the point).

I would love to see more of his mom's perspective on things--including her marriage--but that is a story for another time I suppose!

Content Notes:

Swearing/profanity: 2 uses of damn, 2 instances of taking God's name in vain

Sex/sexual references: The last chapter of this book is about the shared computers at school getting a virus. The virus is known for infecting computers that spent time on porn sites. The guys are all pressured to say who has been to a porn site. No one confesses and they are all punished. It turns out that it was an accident. A guy accidentally was redirected to a porn site when trying to look at cows online. However, one guys says to the others: "Let him who has never looked at an adult website cast the first stone" and all the guys agree to not make a fuss because, presumably, they all look at porn...

Hachiken continues his tutoring of Mikage and visits home in pursuit of his brother's cramming materials, which leads to a confrontation between him and his dad. (Me: I wonder if I only thought Hachiken's dad was an asshole because I didn't understand the nuance when I read it in Japanese. Vol. 9: LOL, no, he's an asshole.) Hachiken's mom visits campus and he realizes that he might be using Mikage to prove to himself that even if he couldn't get into college, he can get her in...thus displacing the risk from himself. (Mikage turns out not to give a shit.)

I went ahead and pre-ordered the next three volumes. At this rate the English translation will catch up with the Japanese original in summer 2020. (14 volumes are out in Japan now, and I think the 15th one will be out this summer. Arakawa's been dealing with some family issues, I believe.)

[Donna · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hachiken helps Mikage study, makes a quick (uncomfortable) visit to his parent's house to pick up some notes, and agrees to do a communal pig purchase to make bacon.

This series continues to be excellent. I really care about the characters. Having Hachiken's mom visit campus allows us to see how much growth Hachiken has already accomplished. The pig butchering scene was (as always) handled well and respectfully and ends up making me grateful for pork. The principal is one of my favorite characters and the scene with him getting giddy because of the snow fall made me laugh. Definitely read this series in order but definitely read this series!

In his quest to help Aki prepare for college, Hachiken goes home to get his brother's study notes and has several encounters along the way, showing him just how much he has grown and changed. After, his mother comes to the school to see what it's like and to meet the people and is very impressed by everything. With winter here, Hachiken decides that he wants to buy a pig again and everyone gets in on the purchase. The volume wraps up with the end of the year and a scandal in the boys' dorm as a computer virus is found on one of the communal computers.

“Are people who’ve failed once not allowed to do anything?” “Am I worth less than livestock?”
Hachiken’s got all the right words in this volume!
His dad really can’t be satisfied by anything he does. It was nice to see mom be more open minded though.

I don’t know how the kids really went to see those pigs they raised be slaughtered. That part made me so sad. I don’t think the farm life is for me, that’s for sure!!!!!

[Johanna · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love the pig club. The butchering scenes really bring home the reality of eating meat, but seeing all the kids pitch in on the project was inspiring. There are a lot more meaningful things going on, with Hachiken reconciling with his mother as she comes to visit his school, but it's the light-hearted elements I enjoy most.

[Miguel Esteban · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dos cosas.
1) No sé cómo es que el anime logró comprimir la mitad de este volumen en el último capítulo del anime, pero les salió muy bien.
2) Por fin sé qué ocurre después del anime!!! Y me gusta muchísimo!!! Ví el anime por primera vez cuando estaba en décimo y lo he visto como cuatro veces, pero hasta ahora sé cómo continúa la historia.
Maravilloso.

[fooleveunder · Rating 3 out of 5]

The story flows slowly but smoothly. I love the small “romantic” moments between Hachiken and Mikage. Hachiken’s parents also add some spice to his life problems. I’m rooting for his newly married brother to get some spotlight with his Russian wife. The virus and Christmas party scenes are pretty hilarious too.

[Anthony Wendel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lot of great emotion in this volume. As Hachiken heads home to pick up his brother's study materials he ends up sitting down with his parents and having an awkward conversation with his father. From there, his mom comes to visit his school and its a pretty sweet moments as his mother witnesses the growth of her son. Overall this is a very uplifting volume.

[Alyssa · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's always enjoyable to read this series and see Hachiken grow as a person. He deals with parents in this volume and I find it interesting to watch him interact with them. He is learning as a person how to talk to his parents as he is becoming an adult.

No real massive updates, just a bit of character development involving Hachiken and his mom being stifled by the antagonistic father. As enjoyable as ever, if not the most exciting episode.

La couverture est aussi belle que les autres tomes. Il y a beaucoup de couleurs et ça rend vraiment bien.

En commençant ce tome, nous retrouvons tout de suite Aki, un des personnages principaux. Nous la trouvons très studieuse et surtout très attentive pour avoir de très bonnes notes pour la suite de ses études. Yûgo, lui aussi se lance à deux cent pourcent dans ses études et dans tout ce qu’il a entrepris. Il surprend quelques personnages qui ne croyaient pas qu’il était comme ça. Encore une fois, nous le trouvons plus mature et il nous le prouve dans ses faits et gestes.
Nous trouvons beaucoup d’humour dans ce tome que ce soit de Yûgo, mais aussi de ses autres camarades du lycée d’Ohezo.
Nous apprenons aussi le développement d’un animal de ferme du producteur au consommateur, autant vous dire que pour les âmes sensibles, c’est un peu difficile ce passage.
À la fin de ce tome, nous sommes amusés de voir que des personnages aient pris des virus dans leurs ordinateurs. Nous trouvons leurs réactions totalement en raccord avec des jeunes gens ayant fait une bêtise.
Nous avons hâte de savoir comment vas se dérouler la suite de l’histoire et s’ils vont finir par se faire avoir.


Est-ce que j’ai aimé ce livre ?


J’ai trouvé ce tome très touchant et amusant. La fin ne m’a pas laissé forcément sur ma faim, mais j’ai vraiment hâte de savoir ce qu’il va se passer dans le prochain volume.
